Scraggly witch hair anyone?

I have to do a book cover for one of my authors and he suggested using the image below, which although the image appears to be in the public domain, I want to make my own "version" of it instead. I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas for hair that would look similar to the hair in the picture? I just happened to be looking at this hair yesterday, and I do think it'll work, but it also looks fuller and healthier than it's meant to look in the illustration.

Just wondering if there were other options to consider before I made a choice?

    A cool choice. I like the way the early vision of riding a broom had the straw end in front.

    Linda Maestra! [Pretty Teacher!], plate 68 from Los Caprichos

    A decrepit witch teaches a nubile one the art of flight and, implicitly, the sexuality associated with their kind. Observed and drawn with sensitivity, this plate is one of the most conventionally beautiful and sympathetic in the Caprichos. Goya comments, “The broom is one of the most necessary implements for witches; for besides being great sweepers, as the stories tell, they may be able to change the broom into a fast mule and go with it where the Devil cannot reach them.”
