How long is your hair? I would suggest using an assortment of foam, wire protector, various plastic tubing (i.e air tubing), rexlace, etc. A good place to start would be to pick up some foam and rexlace from your local craft store, and then make a trip to an auto parts store. You can find some fairly useful stuff there. You can also add in some crin (which is extremely light), but you need to order it online and can be a bit pricey. Another thing to consider would be to accent your falls with a few synth dreads here and there.
Might want to pick up a hole puncher, scissors, rulers, and assorted tools to aid you in your creation.
There was a link I recommended to Kontan, but forget what it is now. Perhaps he still has it, and can share it with you.
Good luck
