She also added a few extra hair pieces to his head in order to keep the look's rigid shape. For the '80s scenes, Hindsgaul bleached actor Matthew Modine's hair to create his signature white coif. Brenner, who we see in the '80s and in flashbacks to the '70s and '50s. One of the biggest challenges Hindsgaul faced this season was creating three different looks for Dr. Brenner went through a lot this season - a lot of wigs, that is. Brenner's different looks for different timesĭr.

She added: 'I don't ever want to feel like there's hairspray in anybody's hair. 'That is what makes creep under your skin.' 'We really need to have the grit, we need to have some flyaways,' said Hindsgaul. She nicknamed the look 'the sad, sad ponytail' in reference to Max's grief throughout the season. Hindsgaul pointed to Max's simple ponytail in Stranger Things 4 as a reflection of this. It's such an emotional stage in your life.' I was there, I was that person, I was going through that. It's important that our young audience can relate to them. Who of us looked pretty at that age? You don't have enough together. 'I don't want them to look pretty for the sake of being pretty. When we're at that age, and especially with our little band of kids, it's important that they're real,' Hindsgaul said. 'I like to keep them still awkward in it. This meant, especially for the Hawkins high schoolers, not having hair that looked too perfect. Through it all, Hindsgaul wanted to make sure the hair read as naturally as possible on-screen. Different wigs also require different levels of movement: A wig that's used in scenes where characters have wet hair will move differently from wigs for scenes where characters are neat and dry.

'Stranger Things' and the power of being seenĬast members went through multiple wig fittings in order to make sure the hair moves just right, with Hindsgaul and the rest of the hair department making changes as needed. Hindsgaul broke down even more Stranger Things hair secrets for Mashable, including how she achieved specific looks like Eleven's buzzcut (which is also a wig!) and Eddie Munson's iconic mullet. According to Hindsgaul, she used the same wig for mom Karen Wheeler, bully Angela, and Steve's date in Stranger Things 4's first episode, styled differently for each character. Some wigs did double or even triple duty, appearing on multiple characters. Since Stranger Things is a show with such a massive cast, Hindsgaul also kept 50 wigs on standby for day players with smaller roles so she could fit them quickly. Stunt doubles also required their own sets of wigs. Over 250 wigs were used in the show's fourth season, with principal characters having at least three wigs, including ones for fight scenes and water work. The same goes for Stranger Things, which is an extremely wig-heavy production. We love that you didn't use any wigs,'' Hindsgaul recalled. ' said, 'We really love that show, and we love that it all looks natural. Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer had also been impressed by Hindsgaul's work on Show Me A Hero. The escapism of 'Stranger Things' Season 4 just hits different in 2022
