@TheHappySpaceman I did think of Jenny, but not like that. This is what I pictured, please do excuse the messiness.
See how it still looks like hair but rather than being thousands of strands, is instead a few dozen larger pieces made out of plastic or something similar? This hairstyle is more tomboyish than what you seem to be going for, but it shows the kind of physical structure I was thinking of. I've seen it done before but have no idea how to search for the images. ;~;
You could also be more creative with the style than my example, and make something… well, like I said earlier, more geometric and "cool" looking than an ordinary hairstyle.
