Curious, hip career - unconvincing beard? (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
crepe hair
'unconvincing beard?' is the definition.
(type of fake hair used for make-up effects)
'curious hip career' is the wordplay.
'curious' is an anagram indicator.
'hip'+'career'='hipcareer'
'hipcareer' is an anagram of 'CREPE HAIR'.
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
