The wild tresses of a Gorgon head may be bizarre but it is not an "elaborate" hair style. It has no styling of the hair at all. Think more in terms of Matidia, Faustina Senior, or some of the other Roman empresses.

 

Actually I do not have one of these- but this is from the cover story on this forum- pretty common type. I wonder if this would count to match the challenge? just wondering
