My mother has a stupendous afro. My dad has a wave to his head. So, I’ve tight curls. And likewise, I perceive that, Ginny’s hair from seasons one, two, and three may be very, very completely different. So let me simply clarify…”

We’ll offer you a wig.’ And I used to be like, ‘All proper, wager I am getting a wig.’ There have been two wigs for season two, and people two wigs have been curled very curiously, and it did not actually work. It wasn’t working.”
“So for like, half of season two, I am on this wig that does not actually match my precise hair, it has no motion. And so we stopped utilizing the wig, however to ensure that us to have it, it was like a continuity factor. They took a wand to my hair and curled every part of my hair to match the curl sample of the wig. So my hair was put via warmth each single day to match the sample of the wig, which we ended up not even utilizing the whole time as a result of it did not look proper. In order that’s why there’s some fascinating hair decisions for Ginny in season two.”
(And this is her hair in season two.)

We did not use any warmth, we took care of it, we saved it shifting, and I did not have to fret or stress out at any second within the hair trailer. Shout out, Stacy. So, yeah, my favourite hair second for Ginny is season three, as a result of that is the healthiest my hair has ever been filming the present.”
