<p>Amy Winehouse's hairdresser reveals that it all started as a joke.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/amy-winehouse-fashion-and-style-2000s-outfits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Amy Winehouse</a> was one of the most <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/brandon-flynn-on-the-10-most-influential-albums-in-his-life" target="_blank" rel="noopener">important artists of the 21st century</a>. Her music, performance, and talent marked an entire generation. July 23 will mark 10 years since the singer's death in 2011. Her faithful hairdresser, Alex Foden, gave an interview to <em>Sunday People</em> to recall interesting facts in her memory. Among them, he shared that the "Valerie" artist's <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/iconic-hair-pop-culture-history-jennifer-aniston-farrah-fawcett" target="_blank" rel="noopener">iconic beehive hairdo</a> started as a joke between them.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&ldquo;<span>As a joke, I backcombed her hair massively and put an extra packet of hair in," said Foden. However, a</span>s soon as Winehouse appeared in front of her friends, the exotic look became a source of praise and approval. "<span>I said, &lsquo;There you go, let&rsquo;s go and show the finished look&rsquo;, taking the piss obviously, and as we came out the trailer everybody went, &lsquo;Oh my God! That is it, that is the signature look.'"</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span>&ldquo;It was never meant to be that big so I said, 'Let&rsquo;s turn you into a caricature.' I&rsquo;d get two packs of synthetic hair, which is light, put hair nets around it, and sew those together. We called them fur balls,&rdquo;</span> revealed Foden.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The professional, who at the time had known Amy for five years, also joked about the singer's hair being a "black hole." He recalled, "<span>She once couldn&rsquo;t find her &shy;mobile for three days. She scratched her head and it was inside her beehive.&rdquo;</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">And even in her most difficult moments, Alex recalls that she was very proud of her appearance and wouldn't leave home without her classic <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/how-to-create-perfect-cat-eye-liner-makeup-vincent-oquendo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cat-eye eyeliner</a>.</p>
