This is perhaps one of the best breakdowns of how hair costuming is done when done well that I have ever seen. This deserves a lot of shares. It explains things so well that younger children (who are curious about theater!) can grasp the concepts while giving excellent suggestions and hints throughout for anyone looking to upgrade their own work for events. Thank you for the attention to detail, maintaining focus, and transitioning each character’s looks from one season or scene to the next.
It’s amazing how the hair ages the actors! From young to older! I am a crafter & make clothing & quilts but I can’t imagine making these wigs! Amazing!
@@jaijai5250 I personally feel that Nicola is a beautiful woman no matter what role she plays, yes I’ve seen her in Derry Girls and I plan to watch the Big Mood and in any other projects she is in. It’s not just her looks that makes her beautiful it’s her charisma, her character, the way she advocates and empowers others, the way she appreciates the people around her and in her life! That’s what makes her so beautiful to me! By the way this comment I am making is coming from a straight woman who admires the heck out of her and everything she stands for! 💜
@@Kitkat-qq7oh apologies. I didn’t realise you were talking about the characters she plays and her inner beauty. I assumed you were referring to outward, aesthetic beauty. Do you know her personally, or are you referring to her roles and the PR that makes her beautiful?
@@Kitkat-qq7oh my apologies. I assumed you were referring solely to outward, aesthetic beauty.

Right! I kinda feel like if they employed some of the black hair show stylist, some of these wigs would not take so long to make and we would have to wait 2 years for the next S4. LOL
🥰💜Thank you for putting together this video! I am not sure if folks realize the complexities of the costumes and especially the hair! I absolutely 💯 loved 🥰 all the wigs this season and on the other seasons of Bridgerton and Queen Charlotte. Have an incredible Tuesday and rest of your week! Sending you and everyone here nothing but positive vibes and positive energy 🥰
I really wish they wouldn't re-use wigs from earlier seasons because I live in the hope that, one day, there will be a museum exhibition of all the wigs used in Bridgerton. I can imagine there will be a book one day, but seeing them IRL would be epic. Mind you, I don't think it would come to Australia (where I am), but I can live in hope...
at least this way it won't by as likely to end up in landfill. and is less wastage :) I was surprised to hear they only have one wig, i would have thought they would have more than one so that if anything were to happen they can swap it out, or so that they have the next style for the next seen being recorded ready to go.
That truly just made my head hurt (bahahaha) I cannot even imagine the time, patience & fideliness of sewing individual hairs like that together. They are beautiful beyond imagining but WOW.
I love this breakdown! Cressida Cowper's actor Jessica Madsen said in an interview that in Season 1 they used her actual hair and she experienced hair breakage and also gave her mild headaches because of tightness and tension from the style. So having wigs help not only the prep time and use time for both the crew and the actors but also maintaining the styles because they wore the same style for a few days, as well as protecting the actor's real hair as is stated in the video.
I once built an hairstyle for Halloween where I went as a Jack o‘lantern that included a battery pack for the fairy lights and let me tell you the pain in my neck was from out of this world
😄😄😄😄You just said what I've been saying ever since I discovered that Nicola Coughlan is 37 and after I saw her GLOWUP on Bridgeton Season 3!!! I need the Nicola's makeup artist on the show ; any one that can make a 35 - 37 year old look believably 17 - 19 HAS to do my wedding makeup!!!😄😄😄
2 years to make the carousel wig and a TikToker made a replica in the span of a 5-minute video! With hand-folded paper cranes!! 😩😩Outstanding results on both ends, though! Brava! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I guess this is why hairdressers avoid making shows that take place in the 1830s 🤣😭🤣🤣🤣😭🙈 (if you know, you know) (and if you dont know just look up popular hairstyles in 1830s)
1:00 About the KISS STYLE wig ... many of the actors shown were not from the 1950s. Brooke Shields and Claudia S'fer were way AFTER the 1950s. Rita Hayworth was more of a 1940s movie star. The photos may demonstrate a similar hairstyle, but it's not right to call these women 1950s actors.
There's a scene in S1 when Lady Danbury's hair was down in the 1st episode & in that same episode Queen Charlotte has her real out when she is taking a bath
This is really well done, but it's worth noting that Claudia Schiffer and Brooke Shields were not on the same timeline or even industry as Anita and Thelma... While Brooke did try out film she was definitely known more as a model as was Claudia. Both were a big deal in the height of celebrity models in the 80s although Brooke was famous as a baby being the face of Gerber. Neither of them though was famous for wearing that hairstyle. Anita Page and Thelma Todd were both film stars in the 20s and that was actually slightly before the Kiss Hair was really done this way. It technically began in the late 20s but went through even to the 50s but was far more common on the heads of Rita Hayworth (who actually had extremely curly red hair), Grace Kelly, Veronica Lake and Marilyn Monroe.
Ok I mean this is amazing but for the swan wig how would that been achieved in the era or was this where suspended disbelief was supposed to be a thing. Lady Danbury looks like she is wearing a wig. Thats the only one I don’t like as much but these stylists are amazing!
This didn't really give me how they are made, just a style storyline. I wanted to know the lace fabric, ventilation methods, and how a wig that is reused over and over is maintained or thatched with added hairs, synthetic or human, and haircolor mixture.
I had a hard time believing that her sister, a supporting character, had more wigs than a main character. I figured they had to have at least two in case something happened during the scene to change it out because filming must go on for scheduling and budget reasons. It cannot be hot held up by a wig issue, so would need a secondary to change out.
But do we need to see all those overcomplicated hairstyles when Bridgertons will turn to be grandpas and grandmas before the series are finished? Waiting a year is crazy to ask, but two years just for wigs? No, thank you.
So wait, the kiss style was inspired by the 1950’s Hollywood glam but used for a regency era show? I loved Pen’s glow up but it was not historically accurate. The whole season was meh to me.
Feelings on the season aside, Bridgerton has never been historically accurate or tried to be - they’ve always taken regency as an inspiration rather than a rule. Although I adore historical fashion and accuracy I do think this actually works for Bridgerton as it gives it simultaneously a more modern and a more fantastical vibe, both of which seem to be on purpose.
The Wigs were ...well ..fine but not really according to the Time Era.Too much.Why no accurate real life Hair? Little bit laughable. Fantasy Period Drama or not. Too modern for that Time.

Wow thank you so very much for this beautiful comment💖 it means a lot 😭❤️ Lots of love 💕💞💗💝💓💘🩷🤍
they NEED to add a category for the hair to the emmys or oscars! Hair and costumes! for real- this is ART on the next level
They do. 😊
Have you ever watched them? They’ve had that for a long while now.
Right!!
@@LINLYN81well they should put it in big block letters! ;)
i'm not expert but the words costume and design come to mind
The amount of skill and time to make those wigs is outstanding
i do love Pen's hairstyle this season, especially the one she got in the library scene...
It’s amazing how the hair ages the actors! From young to older! I am a crafter & make clothing & quilts but I can’t imagine making these wigs! Amazing!
Also, from older to younger. A lot of the actresses are in their 30’s pretending to play as late teens to early 20’s age.
This is absolutely amazing! Definitely need a hair award category.
Nicola Coughlan is so beautiful😻
I absolutely 💯 agree with your comment 🥰🥰
Did you think she was beautiful when she was in Derry girls?

Goldas wig was a homage to black hair show culture, and I loved it! Moving mechanical wigs and hair pieces is a staple for a black hair show
Right! I kinda feel like if they employed some of the black hair show stylist, some of these wigs would not take so long to make and we would have to wait 2 years for the next S4. LOL
Lovely video!🥰 So interesting to see all the hard work behind their hair and how they make the wigs. I did not know all of this!!😍
Thank you💖 It is fascinating✨
Insane right, amazing.

These are true artists and engineers.

not very likely to happen unless at most as a temporary attraction, if it's not going to bring them cash it simply won't get done
@@Yue_mariin00 Unfortunately probably true. It'd be nice, though. :)
Pssst! Bette Davis' first name is pronounced "Betty". 😚
This!!! I'm so OCD, it's all I could think about....
Thank you! It was driving me crazy! That and the fact that she said “sewd” instead of “sewn”.
There were a few moments I had to ignore the pronunciation and transition word choice 😅
@@kerrischillinger3435yes! Or “tun” instead of “ton”
I hope all of beautiful pieces of art end up in a museum someday
That truly just made my head hurt (bahahaha) I cannot even imagine the time, patience & fideliness of sewing individual hairs like that together. They are beautiful beyond imagining but WOW.
@nikikillian1432
And the ability of the actresses to showcase them. Especially the Queen! I'm sure it's not easy to carry those styles.
Love this background info, makes me really appreciate the work that goes into it❤
Excellent video!! I loved learning how those incredible hairstyles came to be! What artistry!!
Glad you loved it!!😍💖 Thank you
I though it was her own hair... It was the last detail for this Beautiful Irish face.

Kate is gorgeous

How do I hire the hairstylists and one of the makeup artists for my future wedding? 💒
😄😄😄😄You just said what I've been saying ever since I discovered that Nicola Coughlan is 37 and after I saw her GLOWUP on Bridgeton Season 3!!!

That is a lot of damn work for designer! Hats off to them for creating works of hair art!! 🥰😘
2 years to make the carousel wig and a TikToker made a replica in the span of a 5-minute video! With hand-folded paper cranes!! 😩😩Outstanding results on both ends, though! Brava! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Yeah but we have to consider the fact that , that creator had the carousel wig as a reference whereas they made the creation from scratch basically.
I love Pen, she is adorable!
I didnt recognise the mohawk until it was pointed out, but now I love it even more! Like a hidden rebellion.❤
Well done, very interesting & informative. Thank you😊

Check Detroit Hair Shows during the 90s. They did this stuff in days.
WOW! Amazing talent.
Everything is so gorgeous ❤
Dang it. I really wanted more details on how Cressida Cowper's hairstyles were made! To me, they're the most interesting!!
I can not believe these are wigs... Like, such a good idea but oh my god they are so good.
Such a fascinating video!
There's a scene in S1 when Lady Danbury's hair was down in the 1st episode & in that same episode Queen Charlotte has her real out when she is taking a bath

I love seeing what in the world Charlotte has on her head next!
The wig flower pins are so pretty and I NEED some where do i find that?
JUST WOW.
Hold on a sec. Claudia and Brooke are not from the 50s.
Brooke Shields was born in ‘65 and Claudia Schiffer ‘70.
Didn’t think that wigs would be so interesting! I was wrong!
They put this much effort into hair, then put prom jewelry from Alibaba on the characters. They really need to find a balance between departments.
this is so cool!!!!!
My toxic trait is thinking I could make that swan wig in 1 month max
Ok I mean this is amazing but for the swan wig how would that been achieved in the era or was this where suspended disbelief was supposed to be a thing. Lady Danbury looks like she is wearing a wig. Thats the only one I don’t like as much but these stylists are amazing!

they shouldn't reuse parts of wigs! they need to be in a museum!
All this amazing work and then they stuck that on Colin 😂🤦🏼♀️
Brook Shields is not 50s!
Nor Claudia Schiffer lol.
We are in regency era with hollywood and victorian era hair....
This hair is not of the era. It’s trendy.😊
Bette Davis is pronounced Betty not Bet.
Shows filmed in America should take note. There are too many unnecessary hair horror stories here.
I felt it was too modern but if we can look over so many other things. Surely we can brush it off
Nicola had 4 wigs, not 1. They had to do wig changes during the carriage scene.
I had a hard time believing that her sister, a supporting character, had more wigs than a main character. I figured they had to have at least two in case something happened during the scene to change it out because filming must go on for scheduling and budget reasons. It cannot be hot held up by a wig issue, so would need a secondary to change out.
Most of the hair styles are very modern
But do we need to see all those overcomplicated hairstyles when Bridgertons will turn to be grandpas and grandmas before the series are finished?
Waiting a year is crazy to ask, but two years just for wigs? No, thank you.
Die müssen so schwer sein die Stylisten und Schauspieler haben ganze Arbeit geleistet die Dinger mussen ja 10 Kilo schwer sein
So wait, the kiss style was inspired by the 1950’s Hollywood glam but used for a regency era show? I loved Pen’s glow up but it was not historically accurate. The whole season was meh to me.

However
But then
Is Bridgerton a kitsch comedy ? Clothes look really cheap and flashy
There’s literally historical fashions that were like that. So probably inspired by those.
The Wigs were ...well ..fine but not really according to the Time Era.Too much.Why no accurate real life Hair? Little bit laughable. Fantasy Period Drama or not. Too modern for that Time.
The production company made it clear that they were not going for historical accuracy. You need to do your research.
I didn't like Kate's hair in season 3. felt off
