From Millie Bobby Brown's buzz cut in "Stranger Things" to Ana de Armas' Marilyn Monroe curls in "Blonde" (2022), movies and TV shows have had to transform character via wigs for decades. To find out how a master wigmaker designs full heads of hair for movies and TV shows, we visited the New York and Beverly Hills studios of Wigmaker Associates with founder Rob Pickens.
In the era of 4K and HD cameras, the standard for film and TV wigs has never been higher. Digital cameras are significantly less forgiving than film, meaning that hairlines must appear seamless and lace fronts must be finer. Rob's team shows us how they trace the intricacies of actors' hairlines and growth patterns to create wigs that mimic nature. He explains how he worked with "Stranger Things" hair department head Sarah Hindsgaul to make make the short-haired Eleven wig sit invisibly on Millie Bobby Brown's scalp, using techniques such as point knotting and an ingenious application process. And having worked on period pieces like "Pose," "The Gilded Age," and "American Crime Story," Rob discusses how historical settings shape the color and texture of his wigs.
Rob also breaks down how factors like camera and lighting influence wigs' coloring, from Amanda Seyfried's blond in "Mank" (2020) to Eddie's ash brown in "Stranger Things." He worked with hair department head Jaime Leigh McIntosh to perfect the red of Olivia Wilde's wig in "Don't Worry Darling" (2022) and the multi-dimensional color of Michelle Pfeiffer's Betty Ford wigs for "The First Lady" (2022). Meanwhile, on "Pam & Tommy" (2022), lead hair designer Barry Lee Moe incorporated four shades of blonde into Rob's wigs to make Pam Anderson's signature platinum pop on camera.
Wigmaker Associates' other creations include Tom Hardy's Scarface wigs for "Capone" (2020) and Tom Hanks' Mr. Rogers wigs for "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" (2019). The studio has also built wigs for Will Ferrell in "Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga" (2020), Jamie Lee Curtis in "Halloween" (2018), and Billie Eilish in her "Xanny" video (2019).

Perception is everything, I remember saving up for my first LV and some coworkers automatically thought it was fake because I was a young black girl. At that point I really stopped caring what people's opinions were, people will always have their opinions based on how you look. After this I shopped in *hotdups* . If you drive a Bentley and get out of the car with a fake Hermès, no one will question you.

I bet the process of placing each individual hair actually gets pretty therapeutic over time. My hobby is building plastic scale model battleships, and there's a therapeutic quality to the repetitive nature of making tons of little guns. Seems tedious, but it's actually soothing once you get a rhythm going.

Not really. It’s obviously a wig. A pretty good wig, but obviously still a wig nonetheless. The giveaway is the pristine hairline that is way too thick and uniform. That’s the area where most wigs go wrong. Real hairlines are uneven and staggered, gradually getting thinner and thinner the closer you get to the forehead. There are often short baby hairs at the hairline too. It’s definitely possible to simulate this with a wig, but most don’t seem to have a keen eye for detail like that. I guess it ultimately doesn’t matter though because most people, like you, aren’t very observant or detail-oriented.

@@Heffalumpswoozles85 I agree that it was obviously a wig. I recently rewatched Prada and it's still enjoyable though the overall message is even more distasteful now. Anyway - what struck me now and the first time was that no matter what they dressed Meryl in or what wig was created - she just can't pull off fashion. I'm not talking about her weight or body - she can act imperious, but her look is dumpy. A sleeker wig would have been better I think - though maybe her features wouldn't work with that. As a critic once said of Streep - you can't picture her from the neck down. Since you are some expert - please tell me who makes Beyonce's hundreds of wigs and how her incredible hair looks are achieved. No doubt they are all custom but how are braided wigs with "scalp" show achieved? Are her wigs more expensive than film wigs? Who specializes in making beautiful wigs for women of color? The movement and texture and subtle colour variations. How is the lace hidden for people who wear the wigs more than a few times? Is lace cut back to nothing or glued down and covered with makeup? TIA.

I love how honest you are about everything. when someone is carrying a *hotdups* and you pass them on the street no one can tell whether is fake or real one because you cannot do this much analysis on it. what I hate about LV and why I stopped buying them is that many people assume your bag is fake when they pass you on the street. It's very annoying. one time a woman walked up to me and actually asked me if my bag was "real". after spending almost 2K on a bag and being asked that question was so offensive i stopped carrying them. People look more at the person carrying the bag and assume wrongly whether is real or fake. it is extremely annoying

I absolutely loved this video. I have had alopecia since my teens and though my first few wigs were just store bought and slapped on I'm a diy lover so I thought myself how to ventilate and create lace wigs and I now have a small business making custom wigs for people with hairloss (or people who just want to rock different hair that looks real). I specialize in vivid, fashion colors like pink, silver, green, multi-colored, rainbow color melts, prism hair, stuff like that so I'm definitely not making a wig to look like someone's slowly graying hair and receding hairline, but the process is pretty much the same. I hope people watching this who criticize wig makers for their prices reconsider after seeing all the work that goes into. And that people will finally realize that almost everyone is wearing a wig on TV and in movies, if not at least half. They just usually look so real you can't tell. And then there are cases like Jessica Alba (though not in the first movie-that was her hair that she bleached to death which is why she couldn't bleach it again in the sequel) and Kristen Stewart (in the reshoots) who both played Sue Storm in The Fantastic Four and for what reasons I don't know we're given utterly egregious wigs despite there being a budget to do better. Ahhhgggg the inconsistency of Hollywood is insane lol 😂

Something that these kind of companies need to investigate further to effectively replicate it is black hair and all its variations. One frustrating example is House of the dragon, the wigs on the Velaryons look weird, they don’t have a silvery shine, and look more like powdered wigs from the 18th century. Laena’s hair looked specially off and dead. The hair of a woman with her same heritage in our world would never ever look like that. Hopefully HBO will update their methods for the next season.

What a uncelebrated, painstaking, under-appreciated profession. My hats off to all of you and thank you so much to the makers of this video for sharing this and heralding the unbelievable craftmanship of this trade! I know from personal experience that hair color alone is a very precise skill that very few hairdressers actually master. My own hair pulls red like no one's business and I can pay hundreds of dollars only to have to still tone my own hair to get rid of the orange color that they try to tell me is caused by their lighting.

To be fair, it will depend on the budget and how much a production is willing to pay for it. The bad ones may be from low budget productions or from a team that wants to put money elsewhere like special effects or paying for locations. I know Euphoria had Kim Kimble as their hair lead, and I hope this gets more black hair stylists and wig makers in big productions. The hairstyles she made for S2 is basically what every Gen Z kid wanted for months.

Only a big budget has the experience to get it right max ventilating is a lost art. But the camera picks up on everything. Most productions don’t see hair as a major component and they are usually the lowest paid but you can pad your check by renting the wigs to the studio/production.

@@Cosmoshairco that is so interesting to hear. I was actually thinking with how popular wigs are in Black culture and how most are made in China these two demographics would be at the forefront of this. I've seen videos of wigs being made from scratch from us but I guess this doesn't translate to actually getting into industries like this.

I once went to a wig store in Mexico City with a friend who by that time was a professional belly dancer and needed a long wig for her presentations as her stylist had literally fried her hair and she had to cut it very short. The wig she required needed to be made of natural hair as artificial hair is much stiffer and doesn't move naturally. we found the wig of her dreams, one made of natural hair that had undergone a special treatment that allowed you to dye it, bleach it, curl it, straighten it, and basically do whatever you wanted with it. However, the price was the equivalent of 2,000 USD and it was far from having the level of detail of the wigs shown in this video.

I've been always obsessed/in awe with the wigs, when I was little I wanted to do so much with my hair like my favorite actors did, that's when my mum told me it was all wigs. As I grew older it all started making sense. All these shows and movies brings a whole new layer to it.And all thanks to people like these to make that happen. As a grown woman now, as I dislike my hair, dream is to be able to afford a good wig and shave my entire hair off. (may be the feeling will change) and I also grateful that I have hair on my head.. but sometimes its just not enough.

Or just wear your real hair more often. It doesn't look that convincing in real life. I mean look at all the customization they have to do, which am sure regular people can't. Like making the wig fit the actor's head shape. It probably still looks fake up close in real life.
