There are hats with artificial spider-web with a spider crawling down the hat. This feature tells much about the home conditions that the witch lives in. This makes her appearance shabbier which is good for such a fairy character.

Wig

It is very good and handy if you have a black long hair. The only thing you have to do is to look seedy. With the help of a hair brush it won't be very difficult to achieve such a look.
