As an actor, you gain weight, you lose weight, you change your hair color, and you make changes physically and emotionally to be able to understand the character.
I used to get my hair dyed at a place called Big Hair. It cost $15. They just used straight bleach, so my hair was the color of white lined paper, and my eyebrows looked like they were done with a thick black marker.
I enjoy makeup and having someone who does my hair. What female wouldn’t?
The fact that I’m being cast in a show to play a female lead and I’m the dark-skinned Black woman with short hair, it’s so incredible.
I do know that people treat me different with blonde hair than they do with red hair.
Hair is the first thing. And teeth the second. Hair and teeth. A man got those two things he’s got it all.
I dyed my hair blonde when I was 14. My mom was not happy. But I love being blonde.
I just grew the hair on my back. Facial hair just wasn’t appealing to me. I liked it on my back, though.
Long hair doesn’t look good on me because my hair is fine.
This is a very superficial job. I sit in a chair for two hours and get hair and makeup done and talk about myself in interviews. That’s a very vain thing to do. And I do get caught up in it sometimes.
My long, blonde hair has been my trademark ever since I started modelling in the Seventies, when I was scouted sunbathing in St Tropez.
To be with the others, you have to have your hair short and wear ties. So we’re trying to make a third world happen, you know what I mean?
I cut my own hair most of the time. You just do it all by feel.
I’m proud of my short hair. I don’t think I will grow it long again.
The Yankees have strict rules. You can have a mustache but no other facial hair.
I’m always trying to push the envelope and go with a different hairstyle that you’re not going to see on anybody else. I have a really good grade of hair, and I can do a lot of different things with it.
With short hair you have to get a haircut every two or three weeks. And if you’re coloring your hair, you have to color it that often. Every time I did it, I felt fraudulent.
People who worry about their hair all the time, frankly, are boring.
I was 23, and that was my first professional job. Anybody who has curly hair knows you don’t want it to be brushed out because it becomes a never-ending tangle.
And when power ballads come back, we’ll get big hair again.
I had really long hair, and we had this hairdresser, Laverne, that was in Athens. And she did my hair up really big. And she said, ‘Honey, when you hang your head over the bed and make love, that hair is not going to move.’
I want a part where I can use my own hair, my own voice, and maybe even be literate.
