Post Subject: beehive
I knew I had seen something on this, this is a kids costume, but if you don't use the yarn is is basically a braided beehive.

The other thing I remember reading is that girls used to wear their hair in large rollers with lots of goop (like dippity-doo or something) while they slept to make the curl take (that might help you as well). Then they would just keep wraping and piling until the beehive was huge.

Good luck!
(Of course, as a last resort you could always just buy a wig?)
