Corrected entry: There's just no way on God's green earth that Viola could have gotten that long, very thick hair into the tiny wig she wears when disguised as a man. I couldn't do it with my hair, and it's much, much shorter and thinner.

Correction: I have very long thick hair (down to my waist) and working in theater I have had to get it into plenty of wigs. You do it by creating what are called pin curls all over your entire head. You take small sections of hair and twist it into a coil until it starts to slighty twist itself. You then curl it into a coil and pin it to your head in with two bobby pins placed perpendicular to each other. You do that with all of your hair and you can then put on any style of wig and not see the hair underneath. All high quality wigs are also designed to hold a little bit of extra hair right at the back of the head and still look natural.
