Overview

• After fans criticized her hair on X, Akerman used an Aug. 19 Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast appearance to confirm the wigs did change and to explain why.
• The first fitted wig missed the agreed color and shape, so an unfitted stand‑in was used on camera while a custom piece was made.
• When the new wig arrived lighter, producers shot a salon scene with foils to justify the brighter look within the story.
• Akerman said dyeing or adding extensions risked hair loss due to a thyroid issue, so wigs were chosen to achieve the character’s hairstyle.
• She said the team would try coloring her real hair if a second season moves forward, as the Netflix hit continues talks about renewal without an announcement.
