Woven hair hats

[cjsmith]

In the "I'll try anything once" category:

One of the things I'd like to do before I die is get my hair, still attached to me, woven into a hat shape. I saw a photo of such a hat once and was intrigued. The model had long blond hair woven into a classic wide-brim sun hat, the kind usually made out of yellow straw. Great hat - she just couldn't take it off. :-) My hair is almost certainly long enough right now for a reasonable-width hat brim.

However, I can't find places or people who do this. Ten minutes of Googling did not help.

Anyone ever seen this sort of thing? Pointers?

Cool! I wish I had info for you. Even went looking myself, just to see if I different pair of eyes might help. No luck, unfortunately. :^(

Cool! Bookmarking, and sending to my friend with incredibly long hair....

Wow! Yeah, like that! Some of those weaving things are complex. Sounds like I want that guy, or someone trained by him, if I want this done. Thanks!
