Why Lara Jean's Hair Looks Different in Always and Forever
In the first film, Lara Jean wears her hair in a ponytail most of the time because it's the style she feels most comfortable in. By the third movie, she wears her hair down as she becomes more comfortable with herself. What you might not know is that this sleek look took eight hairpieces to achieve.
"I put them in every day in the morning and I'd take them out every night," Russell Brady, the hair department head, told POPSUGAR. "These long hairpieces, they were 22 inches long."
As much as it looks like Lara Jean wakes up with perfectly straight hair, it took a lot of prep that required an occasional 2:30 a.m. call-time. For her everyday hairstyle, Brady explained there was a big secret to getting the look just right. "Every single night when I took [the hairpieces] out, I used to take them back to my hotel and iron them smooth with a flat iron, every day," he said. Then in the morning, after securing them to Condor's head, he'd flat iron them again.
"Each section of hair, plus the hairpieces, were flat ironed and sprayed first with Paul Mitchell Hot Off The Press-Express Style ($19)," said Brady. "Then, [I] lightly sprayed all over with It's a 10 Miracle Shine Spray ($21) and [used] Kenra Professional Curl Defining Creme 5 ($17) at the end for flyaways."
