You’d assume Nat’s seemingly easy hair look would, in actuality, require immense quantities of hairstyling, as TV hair usually does. Thatcher explains, nevertheless, that earlier than she began carrying the wig, the Sophie-to-Nat course of wasn’t all that difficult.
“My hair is of course fairly straight, in order that they put a curling iron to it as a result of Juliette’s hair has a pleasant wave to it,” she says. The pièce de résistance to creating that eternally cool, roughed-up high quality, Thatcher reveals, was Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray (the on-set hairstylist gave her a bottle, and she or he hasn’t stopped utilizing it off-camera).
Clearly, Thatcher and the present’s producers are totally conscious that younger Nat’s hair is means too polished for the brutal forest atmosphere wherein the crux of the present takes place. They’re “engaged on that” for when season two rolls round—hopefully, prior to later. “There was a bit little bit of a disconnection. I believe for the following season, we’ll tough it up extra,” Thatcher teases.
Presently, in actual life, Thatcher’s working with a brown-black shade and a full-blown mullet that ends across the nape of her neck; that size is little doubt the results of all that bleaching she talked about earlier. “My hair was so, so broken,” she remembers. “So many items within the again have been falling out.” She’s at the moment counting on “heaps and much and many Olaplex” to revive her hair’s well being between seasons—particularly, the No. 3 Hair Perfector.
She credit Yellowjacket‘s hair staff with placing her on to silk bonnets, too, which she now sleeps in each single evening. “I have a tendency to maneuver round so much in my sleep; I might get up with the worst rat’s nest,” she laughs. “[The bonnet’s] not glamorous in any respect however helps.”
After wrapping the present’s first season, Thatcher additionally needed to amp up her skincare routine as a result of working outdoors within the forest for lengthy hours gave her “the worst zits of my life.” (Actually, she says all the actors who play youthful counterparts skilled far more zits than common on the time.) She washes her face every day with CeraVe’s Foaming Facial Cleanser, then moisturizes—however not earlier than making use of her be-all, end-all zits therapy. “I began utilizing the Mario Badescu Drying Lotion… that is really helped probably the most.”
