House Of The Dragon Makers Bought White Hair From Europe To Make Several Wigs For Characters

Never considered hair to be a pricey investment until recent news broke about Katrina Kaif's red hair in Fitoor, which cost approximately Rs 55 lakh to dye. Hollywood, like Bollywood, takes their hair very seriously. The makers of House of the Dragon revealed that they sourced wigs from across Europe.

The co-showrunner of the popular series House of the Dragon, Ryan Condal, recently discussed the challenges involved in creating the ideal hairstyle for each character in the Game of Thrones prequel.

As reported by IANS, Ryan said, ¡°I think we bought up all of the white hair that existed in Europe. We needed multiple wigs for each actor. For example, Matt Smith, as Daemon, had five different wigs because he has different haircuts as time passes in the story."

He further stated, ¡°I really do think that this is the most wigs anybody has ever used in a show like this. But they were fantastic the team making the wigs and styling the actors did an incredible job and most importantly, they look real."

Here's What Internet Had To Say About The 'Wigs' In HOTD

One thing I don't like about House Of The Dragon is that they clearly don't have black people in the hair department. The wigs for the black characters are crazy. So many cool textures and braids they could've gone for and they chose "Dry Cloud 9" and "Existential Dreadlocks". pic.twitter.com/6AFIIjdjAv

I think the only thing about House of the Dragon that bothers me every episode is how weird most of the white hair looks. Like it's obviously fake. Cosplayers have much better fake Targaryen hair lol. It's a nitpick, but it sort of demonstrates how good the show is

House of the dragon is a total mess. Shit is all over the place.
Its just child birth, greed, selfish interest, incest, more childbirth, backstabbing and silver hair

In the book canon of Fire & Blood Princess Rhaenys Targaryen has black hair from the genetics of her mother, Jocelyn Baratheon.
Baratheon genetics are extremely dominant and all have dark hair.
This is apart of why Ned Stark was sure of Joffrey being a bastard. #HouseOfTheDragon pic.twitter.com/EpQyyMD7B0

House of the Dragon needs to convince me that there isn¡¯t a modern haircut hidden under everyone¡¯s stage hair. It¡¯s not working so far. I don¡¯t believe anyone¡¯s hair is real.
forget the story
forget the actors
forget the sets
it¡¯s the hair
I can¡¯t stop staring at the fake hair.
