A bad wig is an easy target for online roasting: from compilation articles to
literal spreadsheets, no on-screen hairline escapes unscathed. But the best wigs
pass by with neither notice nor praise.

“I never want anyone coming up to me to say anything,” said Marcel Dagenais,
hair department head for TV shows including “Russian Doll” and “Poker Face.”
“That means that they’re noticing something. No news is good news.”

But if a bad wig is so obvious, then why are there so many of them out there?
Well, it turns out a good wig takes tons of time, money and a veritable
encyclopedia of styling knowledge. These efforts are recognized at the Make-Up

Awards.

Here’s the step-by-step process behind how stylists and wigmakers create, apply
and film a great wig.
