‘Don’t Worry Darling’ had a hard time making Harry Styles’ hair look ugly
Harry Styles’ luscious locks caused a hairy situation on the set of “Don’t Worry Darling.”
His character, Jack, undergoes an ugly makeunder in the new movie, which posed a problem for hair department head Jaime Leigh McIntosh.
“I wanted to make it lank and more lifeless,” McIntosh told Variety.
“I f–king couldn’t. Harry’s hair is just so full of volume.”
When even a flat iron failed to make Styles’ strands look less than their best, McIntosh resorted to having a “long and scraggly” wig made.
Styles’ shocking transformation — which also included acne scarring created using special effects makeup — took McIntosh and makeup head Heba Thorisdottir two hours to achieve.
“It was about finding that balance and a fine line of pushing him in a different direction, but not so far,” McIntosh said.
The news that Styles’ hair is indeed perfect should comfort fans amid rumors the star is actually going bald.
TikTok went wild with conspiracy theories about #baldharry, with some debating whether he wears a toupee.
The murmurs started after celebrity gossip Instagram account Deuxmoi posted a blind item reading, “This A list musician/occasional actor has a dirty little secret…He has gone almost completely bald. His hairpiece is so lifelike that only a good eye could pick it out, and that’s on a bad day.”
Per the item, the celebrity in question “doesn’t take it off and clean it enough.”
Alas, the “Watermelon Sugar” singer debunked the rumors himself in his “Rolling Stone” interview in August, meriting a follow-up piece titled, “The Truth About Harry Styles’ Hairline.”
“What is it with baldness? … It skips a generation or something, right? If your grandad’s bald then you’ll be bald? Well, my granddad wasn’t bald, so fingers crossed,” Styles said.
Don’t worry, darling: The movie might be out, but the drama will never end.
