Eleven'S Realistic Wig In Stranger Things Season 4

Let'S talk about how millie bobby brown had such a realistic cropped haircut for season four stranger things and look at some behind the scenes photos you may not have seen before this is hair department head. Sarah hinskel she's been with the series since season one and she told me how she created the most realistic, looking wig i have frankly ever seen in television watching the show i paused and i googled did millie shave her head again because it just looks so real And i wasn't the only one: it was one of the top google searches on may 27th. When the show premiered sarah told me that she studied 11's hairline from season one and she did various iterations of this particular wig millie had three wigs. This is one iteration. You can see that it's a little spikier, not as cropped close to the head, so cute, isn't it. There were several wigs for millie herself, her photo double and her stunt double. Instead of braiding the hair underneath the wig, which is what is traditionally done, they wet the hair slicked it down with gel and then wrapped it, which sarah has a video of on her instagram right now. Millie was still a child actor when filming. So they got this process to 30 minutes each day.

El_eggos: I was so sad eleven lost her hair again we all new how much it meant to her

mew: seeing how sad and scared eleven was when she woke up and her hair was shaved was heartbreaking , right as she is able to get away from everything ( for the most part ) she has to go back and go through it all again

Bri Cow: I figured it was a wig bc she still has long hair in the interviews and everything but this still confused me for a minute lol

MiaTube: She actually shaved her head first but when they said they had to do it again then she wasn’t up to it so they used a wig

Trashboat: The person who made this video has already been informed of this but for anyone else who didn't know: Millie was actually the only one who got a wig. The photo and stunt doubles actually had to shave their head and where only given like a days notice. They described it as a traumatic experience, but worth it in the end.

Kate_Kosmo: I'm a cosmetologist and yes this is the most realistic wig "shaved" wig that I've EVER seen!

ri_runs07: wait what did her being a child actress have to do with it??? no hate just asking OMG 4K LIKES YALL I’M FAMOUS

Terry: Oddly enough, I think it looks really good on her. Maybe it was just the cut she had at the beginning, it didn't really work for her. But when she had short hair again she looked so beautiful. I think she has a really pretty face and can actually rock it.

Soup: I think one of the main reasons she was upset about her head being shaved, was because they stole her identity, took that human part away from her, because they treated her like a weapon. It was an accomplishment to her to have her hair grown out, because it was against the rules she was forced to follow, it was a sign of rebellion and showed that she was free.

Emanon Kianols: Every department plays such an important role. It's really cool that we get to see this stuff.

Madeline Mudd: As a person who also had their head traumatically shaved as a young person my heart was SHATTERED when I started this season! I’m soo glad to hear it was a wig

Eight: Millie Bobby Brown looks pretty good with her shaved head, I can’t believe its back in season 4.

sebastian stan's future wife🤭: she has contracts for her hair, something to do with Enola Holmes, so legally they couldn't shave her head lol

💗FlipptyfloppityBrookie💗: Bro when the first clip came on of her shaved head I scream “OH MY GOD IF THEY SHAVED HER HEAD AGAIN IM TURNING OFF THE TV.” Edit:Omg Tysm for all the likes :)

Muhibbah Yahya: I had a mental break down when I thought she shaved her hair like after taking so long to grow it

Renee Branch: Eleven is a sweet young lady. I enjoy her acting in Stranger Things. Great actress.

Edson Oliveira: it really was one of the best wigs i've seen in recent years on a tv show.

Steph Schoonmaker: Rob Pickens worked on a show I was in almost 10 years ago and it’s SO exciting to watch him get recognized for his incredible work!!!

Brooklynn B: I loved El's hair at the beginning of the season. She looked so cute. Buzzed is cool too, but it sucks it wasn't her choice to do it.

James Novotny: Almost as mind blowing as them finding a younger actress that looks exactly like her for those past scenes

Ray Antonio: Wow.. theyre pretty amazing! It was so realistic you couldn't tell... I have been trying to figure that one out lol.

styrofoam: Actually wrapping the hair is quite common as well. It’s also faster to do it every day and can look a lot flatter

Katherine _Queen: Hold on THAT WAS A WIG I genuinely thought she had just shaved it off since I heard when she first did it she wasn’t too worried about it because it was for her role and she knew that it would grow back. I thought she might have had the same sentiments because she is much older and it’s not gonna be her first time but I still felt bad. But dang that wig is AMAZING

MadsterMadness: That is absolutely amazing!!! 30min??? So realistic??? MAJOR PROPS TO HMU!

Anduril: Dang, it looks really good! Very realistic!

Ilovemyself💨💍: Even though I never watch stranger things, these videos about the background and how everyone work together and how cool people but into this movie! It’s making me feel like I should watch it!!

Jessica Steinman: Pretty amazing work they did

grumbles: So I always thought all the characters' hair styles were their actual hair styled to look that way, but now I'm learning so many of the actors were wearing wigs

Mike Scarborough: I've never worked in the entertainment industry and didn't know people at the time who were in the business, but one of the things I loved about living in LA was that there is a creative vibe that permeates the culture of that city. The film industry there attracts the most creative, artistic and talented technicians in the world that can do literally anything and depending on what part of town you live in, you can just feel it.

Eleven4life: I cried when I found out that she lost her hair again bc it ment sm to her

Saint Gein: Millie is one of the few girls that I think look the best with buzzed hair! She has the perfect face for that

Tarot com T: I also didn’t imagine she was wearing a wig. The team of make up is brilliant, another make that I watched impressed was when they were doing Vecna make. Really amazing!

ᰔ𝖛𝖊𝖊!!: I felt so bad for el, she wanted to be “Pretty” she is. But her hair was her femininity and she is gorgeous

Caleb Leeson: Props to Sarah that’s some dedication to her field and she deserves the pay because I was certain she cut her hair for the part again.

moved: LMAO it was literally the one time I could tell it was a wig

Pluto: I've gotta say it looks amazing, although it doesn't look like a recent shave like it's supposed to be and it's not as short as the other kid's hair

Jaxdudez🎄☃️: It looked so realistic i thought they had to film the rainbow room scene in 2016 when the actual series came out.

𝓛𝓸𝐕𝔢: Actually there wasn't wigs for the stunt double or the other one. They had to actually shave their heads because making those wigs took a lot of time and effort. They had multiple wigs for Millie in case on were to mess up.

Helen Matthews: WOW!!! Just WOW!! I am shocked it was a wig! That is talent

John Simpson: Wow I wondered how they pulled this off. Amazing work!

Del Sings: Only took 30 MINUTES to apply as well?? Omg gorgeous work, super convincing

Christopher Hancock: Wow. Kudos. Best wig I’ve seen hands down

Aditya Garg: The head department gave will the "Come and bully me" cut

Ever Yechan: Being a cosplayer I immediately noticed it was a wig but hell yeah it’s an AMAZING wig!

M Gomez: It looks too dense around certain areas which I feel gives it away. But it’s still really good looking.

Breanna Watson: I am so using that method for my hair. Omg that sounds so quick and easy compared to my shitty braiding ‍♀️

HerHollyness: Honestly, I was sad just for the character when she woke up with a buzz cut again. (I knew they probably wouldn’t have made MBB do it again.) She looks so traumatised when she feels her head and realises what they’ve done. It’s such a violation and Eleven worked so hard to grow her hair long and style it like Joyce. It broke my heart.

Bob Foss: You thought it was realistic I absolutely laughed at it. Don't blame her not shaving again.

Michelle Marlin: I had the opposite reaction thinking this is obviously a wig compared to how it looked when she actually shaved her head in season 1

sage 🕷: thats so crazy , wigs are normally so easy to spot on tv and this is soooo good

BlastysIcyhot: I was devastated thinking she had to chop her hair off again, good to know it was just a AMAZING FUCKING WIG made from a genius

Cove Blue: Holy cow! I would never have believed this was a wig without seeing it!

danielgarrison: Woah I thought they actually shaved her head again! Had no idea it was a wig, it looks so good!

KiLo Eso: I just went from S1 to S4 in 8 days and it looks so weird to see new actors and I’m still taking in a lot of what happened.

M K: I want one of these wigs!!! It would be so fun to look like a boy again without the commitment of cutting my hair

Raven Artist: Tbh I miss how curly her hair was in season two. In the newest season her hair looked super fried and a lot less wavy. Closer to Joyce’s hairstyle too, like she wanted to copy her and tried straightening it too much.

wotang: Holy shit, I thought she buzzed it! Hopefully we can see her go full tetsuo with floating anime hair in season 5 \m/

Thea Parkinson: Millie didnt play for the flashbacks in season 4. She guided a younger actor ,named blaire i beleive, to acting like eleven would. The young girl also shaved her head for the role just like millie once did. Then CGI was used to put millies eleven face onto the young actors body and acting giving us the scenes we all know and love x

Jon Oz: I honestly didn't know this. I thought her head was actually shaved. I saw a recent photo of her with Jake Bongiovi & it was short(er) & figured it was still growing put from SO4. That wig was realistic as hell!

Destiny Green: I wondered the same thing so I googled her and seen her with long hair. I was like wow looks so real

PineTree 👁: I personally think she looks so pretty with buzzed hair. But she also looks gorgeous with long hair, i just prefer the buzz hah. Looked so real!

Jazzi: I have to admit I thought she cut too lol. That truly is the best crop cut wig I’ve ever seen.

Sherrie Marie: We do this in the hood on a daily, it’s either a glueless or a hd lacefront. Something else we won’t get credit for. We been doing this for years and my home girl can do it in 10 minutes. I love Stranger Things but give props to the originators, my ppl

KJC: I was like no why did they shave her hair and then I found out it was a wig and I was like thank God

•Mia•: When I saw eleven's hair was shaved a actually was pretty sad, remember in season 1 when she was looking a lot her hair in the mirror and she asked Mike if she's still pretty even without hair and he said still pretty, eleven's hair must mean a lot to her

antigleestan: i was so shocked to find out it was a wig!! the hairline is incredible

Heather Taylor: I thought she had to buzz her hair again! That's amazing!!

Samie Paradise: I literally treated up when I saw her wake up with short hair. I’m glad it’s not real. Maybe they can say enough time passed in season 5 to have her long hair back!

Moï it’s Danielle: The fact that I thought it was real…. Mostly you now if someone is wearing a wig but this? Wow! Impressed!

Finn Baker: Omg, I literally thought it got shaved again. She is so talented

Katie: It was so good!!!! Even I was confused for a little bit

Fight Fear: Props to that lady. It looks so realistic.

Skater: When I saw her hair for some reason I KNEW it was a wig

Wiccan Moon 🌙: As a stylist, I would wrap the hair in some cases rather than braid it. It’s flatter and the wig sits way better.

Britt K: I deadset thought she shaved her hair again and thought "you know what? Good for, she rocks it" only now to be told it was a wig

StrawHatFlamezzz: Millie would look good with the buzzcut hairstyle. It suits her well.

Hoes Hella mad: I almost CRIED when they showed her without her hair

Zombiechirurg: Am i the only one who always thought it looked so unrealistic and even saw the seams in some close ups?

TurmTurm: That wig did look phenomenal

bestnarryever: Tbh many hair and makeup and CGI techniques used for child actors should be used for all bc the amount of extra hours some have to endure is insane for some very simple things My professional opinion as a filmmaker, don’t at me, I know some things are not replicable, I just don’t think all of them are impossible to sub in every single script ‍♀️

Jimmy Mcgill: some scenes i really didn't know if they were just flashbacks from before the events of season 1 haha kudos to the hair department! i thought she'd shaved it for the required scenes!

Quinn Allen: maybe I don't know my wigs but when I saw her hair I was like that's obviously a wig

Malik Onar: Wait, that's a wig!? I haven't watched Stranger Things yet and had just assumed that Eleven's acttress actually shaved her head.. Woah.

Va.memeofficial: How??? How did people think it was real?! You can literally see the lace . Don't get me wrong it's not necessarily a bad wig but it's definitely not realistic

Graeme Gunn: I can't wait for this to get to the final season so they can drop the ball just like Game of Thrones did, and then everyone can just stop.

JennHilda: Dang!!!! I was sure she shaved her hair! Amazing job ma’am!!!!

Mahima Rajput: Realistic? What? I can't be the only one who knew it was a wig as soon as I saw it...

Kneeco: Literally my reaction was “IT TOOK 3 SEASONS FOR IT TO COME BACK”

paulina g: lol i was able to tell it was a wig from the moment we got to see her head shape from the side still very realistic bc if i hadn't paid attention i'd have believed she shaved her head again

KL Sounds: This was sooo good. Great journalism

prettyislandgirl: The bump in the back gave it away in one scene. Maybe someone else wrapped it that day? *shrugs* Otherwise, it was flawless!!

JustTrollingAlong: How was anyone confused about thus? It literally looks like a rug on top of her head. It looked so fake in a very bad way.

Ambarino: Actually, her stunt doubles had to shave their head. One of the stunt doubles came out with a video saying it was only Millie who had to wear a wig

Mad World Productions: It looked good but I could tell something was off. But definitely one of the best I’ve seen

Kendra Jean: I've been wondering what type of miracle ass hair growth shit she was takingthis males way more sense lol

Miranda: They did such a great job

Cam630: That’s really interesting

Alex Gatto: There's NO need to braid silky, fine hair (like non-curly Caucasian hair) under a wig, it just adds unnecessary bulk. You can flat wrap it down to almost nothing.

Lindsey Chartier: Am so glad i wasn't the only one who thought she actually shaved her head cause it's just hair it'll grow back.that wig does look real asf

Sundrops: A friend of mine was in it. When I saw a photo of her on set I thought that she had shaved her head for the role. Turns out she didn’t lol
