You’d suppose Nat’s seemingly easy hair look would, in actuality, require immense quantities of hairstyling, as TV hair typically does. Thatcher explains, nevertheless, that earlier than she began sporting the wig, the Sophie-to-Nat course of wasn’t all that sophisticated.
“My hair is of course fairly straight, so 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 approach too polished for the brutal forest surroundings by which 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 feel for the subsequent season, we will tough it up extra,” Thatcher teases.
At present, 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 question the results of all that bleaching she talked about earlier. “My hair was so, so broken,” she recollects. “So many items within the again had been falling out.” She’s at present counting on “heaps and plenty and many Olaplex” to revive her hair’s well being between seasons—particularly, the No. 3 Hair Perfector.
She credit Yellowjacket‘s hair group with placing her on to silk bonnets, too, which she now sleeps in each single night time. “I have a tendency to maneuver round loads 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 exterior within the forest for lengthy hours gave her “the worst pimples of my life.” (Actually, she says all the actors who play youthful counterparts skilled far more pimples than standard on the time.) She washes her face day by day with CeraVe’s Foaming Facial Cleanser, then moisturizes—however not earlier than making use of her be-all, end-all pimples therapy. “I began utilizing the Mario Badescu Drying Lotion… that is truly helped essentially the most.”
