Referencing countless photographs, the hair department chose a few of Anderson's most recognizable hairstyles to re-create with wigs. "Hair was such a huge part of Pam's life," hair department head Barry Lee Moe says. He wanted to tell the story of Anderson's life and show the progression of her relationship with Lee through her hair.
A total of four wigs were created to have on hand for quick midday hair changes. All of the pieces were dyed a blend of three to four shades of blond to achieve Anderson's platinum hue.
"When they first fell in love, her hair was carefree and loose and that bombshell look that we all fell in love with." For that hairstyle, Moe used '90s styling techniques, like Velcro and hot rollers, to make the wigs look more authentic. "It was that iconic '90s voluminous, bouncy hair," he says. (The same style that's currently making a resurgence on TikTok.) To finish off the look, he used the Unite 7Seconds Glossing Spray ($30) for shine and the Unite Session-Max Spray ($30) for hold.
The other hairstyle that was important to Moe to replicate was Anderson's messy updo. "She wears [it] during the meeting with the lawyers at the end of the series," he says. Though it looks effortless, it was actually incredibly tricky to nail — right down to the loose pieces of hair that frame her face.
