MOVIE: Draco and Harry's Hair

[Saitaina]

Okay, most of this bit on Draco's hair I posted to another list and can't be
arsed to do more then cut and post but there are new bits.

Tom Felton's hair is actually a light, light brown, while the colour leans
towards the blonde it is on the brown side of the hair spectrum so they had
to dye his hair to achieve colourless and that is what his hair is.  You
only notice how "yellow" it is because it's all slicked back and light is
reflecting off of it.

It's hard to explain but my hair has been bleached and I have the same hair
colour in pictures that he does, but in daylight I'm two bleaches away from
white blond with no single stand (save for the bottom of my hair) having a
piece of the colour spectrum in it.

It's not a natural blonde colour granted  (how many blondes to you know with
yellow hair under florescent light only?) but it is a viable colour for the
character of Draco.  You don't get silver blonde with bleaching..you get
golden.  And what better colour to associate with our favorite rich boy then
gold? :)

And on the other upside, if they bleach his hair to change it's colour
(other then maintenance bleaching) it'll fall out.  You go from golden to
bald very quickly, I nearly lost my bangs in my bleaching process.

My problem is the gel!  I'm sorry but I still do not think they should have
used so much shellac (a mis-spelled but actually used product in movie
hairstyling's where your hair will not move even under nuclear attack...or
so they say.)  If you notice in the trailers...the boy's hair DOES NOT MOVE,
not a wisp, and it's irking me to no end.  when you spin around or throw
something, hair that short usually moves...but his...never.  GRRR, lay off
the shellac Mr./Ms. Hairdresser!

Okay, now Harry's hair REALLY irks me.  And it's not the colour I'm talking
about.  What does perpetually messy mean to you?  To me it means enough
moose to keep it standing on end throughout a scene, pleasantly tousled by
hand with a few re-arranging minutes spent on the spikes to make it look
nice and over all messy.  I know, I've taken stage make up classes and had
to do the mad scientist for a friend of mine before he ran onstage and no
one could figure it out.  It's not that hard to do actually...maybe Tom used
all the moose, gel and Shellac on his hair?  Well whatever the problem is,
Harry's hair is completely off the mark for the characters.  It looks like
the hairdresser took a brush, ran it backwards through his hair (not even
all his hair just the bangs), spritzed and sent him off instead of taking
the five minutes it would take to give his hair lovely peaks and that
over-all just-got-outta-bed-after-tossing-and-turning look.

I still say, how hard is it to give them both proper hairdo's?  Rip the
shellac from Tom's hands, cover Daniel's hair in moose, work in, palm his
head in your hand and shake, artfully arrange the resulting spikes, spray
with the shellac and send them off to a day of filming. Then go laugh as
wardrobe gets picked on by internet fans.


On a side note though, I do like Emma's hair, after all, she's not naturally
curly nor do I think she has a perm, and her frizzyness is quite nice for
someone with strait or wavy hair.  It's hard to get the fuzzball look
without said curls or perm because that's what frizzies result from but they
have achieved it quite nicely on her hair.  And Rupert's red hair has fit my
Ron perfectly though I keep picturing him taller, but he is 11 and Ron
Weasley did not technically hit a growth spurt till book two at the earliest
(I do not recall him being taller then Harry before that, if any of you do
and I am mistaken I apologize, PS/SS was never my favorite book so I don't
have it memorized).
