We first fell in love with Jennifer Behr‘s dinosaur headbands after seeing them on the runway at Fendi. Then, we crushed hard on this Maison Michel metal spiked hair comb spotted on Elena Perminova in Paris. Perhaps we can blame our attraction on our stegosaurus obsession (yes, this is true). Or it could simply be because these spiked hair accessories are so badass and bananas (also true). Either way, a DIY was definitely in order.
You’ll need:
- 9 brass cone spikes
- a 3-4″ plastic hair comb
- liquid super glue (not gel)
Start by adding a small amount of liquid super glue to one end of the comb. Place a metal spike on top of the glue and hold it in place for at least 30 seconds. Let it dry completely before letting go.
Glue another spike to the other end of the comb. Then, using a ruler, place the rest of the spikes along the length of the comb to make sure there is enough spacing between each spike.
Continue glueing each spike, alternating from one side to another.
Stick the spiked comb in a bed of teased and tousled hair!

What an interesting DIY- I would have never thought of bringing that runway look into real life. Intriguing. Should I look for spikes today?
now this is awesome!
Very cool! I loved the DIY quite easy and different!
Have an awesome day!

Hello genius. I love this. And it’s funny because I was just at the museum of natural history yesterday admiring all the dinosaur bones, I totally hear you on the stegosaurus thing.

wiiii, love that! guess it’s not for me (at least not with that kind of spikes, but some smaller/gentler would work well), but the idea is so so simple and cool. thx for sharing!

nice
This is quite a bit different from the feathered fascinators and combs that you typically see. Less grandma and more rock & roll.
Wow! Amazing…. wondering where I’ll be able to find the spikes in the UK…. any ideas anyone? Shall have to have a hunt!
This would be good to do for Christmas with one spike on the comb, dressed up as a mini Santa hat!
Oh my goodness I LOVE this!! What a great DIY!! Total badass <3

I love this DIY alot!
I looked everywhere in my town to find some spikes, but unsuccesful!
So I made a DIY inspired by a Belle Noel Hair Chain intead,
I just had to DIY something.. 🙂
but I’ll definitely keep this DIY in the back of my head in case I stumble across some spikes.

Where do you get these spikes? I’ve been to 5 different craft stores. I need them!
@amcamp, at Studs&Spikes!
Aw, I wish I had found this sooner!! My friend was a dinosaur for Halloween and she could’ve used this!!!
amazing !
So innovative

luuuuv it!
I made a ring with spikes =D

Question, i really love this idea, tried it out n the spikes don’t stay. They seem glued good, but with a little pressure they peel right off. Any ideas?
Megs – I had the same problem. I found Epoxy Putty (I chose a version meant for metal), and that works GREAT. It’s a tube of stuff that looks like clay – you cut a slice off (like frozen cookie dough), mash it well between your fingers to mix the inside core with the outside stuff, and then press a small ball of it between the spike and the comb. It sets QUICK, so you’ll need to hold it for only a minute or two. BTW – this method works on both the gold and the silver colored spikes from the website. Have fun!
where can i buy these spikes????
Where to buy those spikes?? I love your tutorials ^^
it’s like a multi-unicorn!
Super option with what you have described here, that’s what I was looking for, really helped me.
