I really want to make a Grifter custom, but struggling for ideas for the head.

Have had some initial thoughts about trying to use one of the below and wondering if anyone else had tackled this figure?

It would probably easiest using a hood or balaclava, but not sure about adding hair. Anyone used Lego hair on a custom?

Ultimate Hawkeye
Winter Soldier
50th CC red hood head
Red balaclava head

I think the 50th CC head would be the best start. You might be able to use the wig from the Rise of Cobra Doctor figure, or get an MU Gambit or similar. The hair on those is a separate piece that will usually come off with heat and some prying. Once you've done that some dremel work will turn it into a "wig" pretty easily.

Thanks.

Looks good, but put off by the international shipping rates.

You could also try to find a MU Captain Britain that came in a 2 pack with Spiderman. It's a masked head with the hair out on top but you would need to mod/sculpt the mask so it hangs down from the chin.
