Without spoiling the twists for “Don’t Worry Darling,” let’s just say Harry Styles’ character doesn’t always look like the well-coiffed, debonair professional seen in the film’s trailer. In fact, to play the role of Jack Chambers, the global pop star had to undergo a “make-under,” which presented Jaime Leigh McIntosh, the hair department head, with a unique challenge. Explaining to Variety that her goal was to make Styles’ hair “lank and more lifeless,” McIntosh lamented, “I f**king couldn’t. Harry’s hair is just so full of volume.”
Trying everything, including flat irons, McIntosh decided on a “long and scraggly” wig instead. “It was about finding that balance and a fine line of pushing him in a different direction, but not so far,” McIntosh said. In addition to Styles donning greasy hair, he also sat through two hours of special effects makeup for certain scenes requiring Jack to have severe acne scarring.
While Styles definitely has envious locks in real life, his skin was apparently once as blemished as his character’s — to the point where he even tried bird poo facials. In 2014, the Daily Mail reported that Styles underwent $200-a-pop treatments for his acne that used, yes, nightingale droppings.
