Summary
- Felton's hair required bleaching every nine days for the role.
- Platinum blonde hair attracted bees during outdoor filming.
- A wig is now used for 'Cursed Child' to protect his hair.

Tom Felton, currently starring as Draco Malfoy in 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' on Broadway, has offered a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes challenges of his iconic role in the original film series. He disclosed the arduous process of maintaining Malfoy's distinct platinum blonde hair throughout the production.
Felton detailed that his hair was bleached every nine days to achieve the signature look, a process that was particularly taxing on his hair's health. Surprisingly, the immense amount of gel used to style Malfoy's hair, especially during outdoor scenes like Quidditch matches, attracted bees.
Thankfully, the current stage production of 'Cursed Child' has alleviated these concerns. Felton now wears a wig, allowing him to embody the character without enduring the rigorous bleaching regimen or dealing with unwanted insect visitors, marking a welcome change from his earlier filming experiences.
