I'm going to a 60s, 70s and 80s themed night for New Years and I wanted to dress as one of my number 1 idols of all time - Dave Vanian the singer of The Damned, as he appeared in his 80s era. For those who aren't familiar with him, he looked like this:

Now, I am fully aware that traditionally in order to achieve this look one has to backcomb the hell out of it (I know because I've done it in the past in my younger days :p) however I would really rather keep the hair abuse to a minimum and I wondered if anyone has ideas for a viable alternative to achieve this look?
Currently I'm thinking that my best shot would be to make braidwaves using lots of tiny braids and then brush them out for the *boom* effect - I've done this in the past and it does make my hair appear quite massive! I'm willing to use a minimal amount of hairspray to keep it in place and a coloured spray for the white streak. I doubt this will damage it too much as I never normally use products of any kind :)
Any advice from anyone gratefully received!
