Jennifer Lawrence's Hair Suffered for Roles
31 Oct
Summary
- Lawrence's hair was dyed four colors in one day for a screen test.
- Her hair sizzled and smoked from heat and dye damage.
- This led to her developing a hair care brand focused on safety.
Jennifer Lawrence revealed the extreme measures taken with her hair during her acting career. For a single screen test, her hair underwent four color changes – red, brown, black, and platinum blonde – within one day, a process that involved repeated blow-drying and re-dyeing due to dissatisfaction with the results.
Her roles in franchises like X-Men and The Hunger Games, spanning from 2011 to 2016, necessitated frequent and drastic hair color alterations. This rigorous treatment led to significant damage, with her hair strands reportedly sizzling and smoking when exposed to heat styling. The cumulative damage, particularly after filming 'Catching Fire,' resulted in her signature pixie cut.
This experience with compromised hair health was a catalyst for Lawrence's entrepreneurial venture. She collaborated with biologist Jasmina Aganovic to launch Mes°, a haircare brand emphasizing safety and scientific formulation. The brand debuted on October 27 with a volumizing mist, repair mask, and restyling serum, aiming to provide better solutions for hair care.
Looking ahead, Lawrence is set to reprise her role as Katniss Everdeen in 'Sunrise on the Reaping,' scheduled for release in November 2026. While details about her hair for this project are undisclosed, fans anticipate her return to the acclaimed character.
