Wigs, Comb Overs, Dye Jobs, Extensions etc...

What actors are/were guilty and your comments.

 

Jerry Douglas (John Abbott)......that rug was really bad and I referred to the color as squirrel.

Joan Collins and Lesley-Anne Down have both been very open about their preference for wigs, sparing them time in the chair and damage to their hair.  Susan Flannery wore wigs for a while on B&B before giving them up and sporting what would become her signature crew cut.

 

Larry Hagman and Kevin Dobson

 

I think it's Fallon and Jeff's wedding on The Colbys and the camera goes shot to shot from Jason, Zach, Garrett, Dominique, just a fabulous steady parade of hair pieces.

[Paul Raven]

Mamie sported this wig for years on Y&R

[Ryan Chamberlain]

Didn't Buzz on GL have a combover at one point? 

 

I just remember there there was a point in time that Justin Deas' hair was starting to thin really bad. 

 

EDIT: Looked up a pic. Yep. I'm right. He was combing it over.

In this 1989 clip from Another World, Felicia traded in her trademark hairdo for one with hair extensions as Felicia celebrated her 40th birthday.  The big reveal was done on a Thursday episode, as the Friday episode was the Who Killed Jason Frame episode.  Felicia would keep the long hair throughout the murder trial.

Ron Raines (Alan, GL) sported a toupee during his entire GL run, from what I understand. It blended in well, so :::shrug::: 

 

For women, extensions are so common it's hard to pin-point everyone. I just remember thinking it strange around 2002 when "the Last Blast" crew on DAYS graduated highschool and Belle (Kirsten Storms) was sporting a new short 'do, and a couple weeks later, her hair was suddenly passed her shoulders again, and she kept it that way going forward. 

 

For bad dye jobs, there's quite a number of men 50+ on DAYS in the last decade or so that would fall under this category...

Linda infamously got her extensions stuck on a rope during a climbing segment on Attitudes.

 

Robin Strasser shared on her hotline that her big red Dorian hair circa 1993 return was weave.

Tanya Boyd wore different wigs as Celeste, but that pretty much fit with the nature of the character.

 

[YRfan23]

For some reason people thought Quinn Reddeker wore Tupaes on Y&R

[SteelCity]

Bold and the Beautiful! That is all!!!

For my untrained eye, the male dye jobs on GH are the worst - every man over 40 has a single process, one color, dark dye job; I expect to see black dye dripping down foreheads every time it gets hot in Port Charles!

 

BTW the best job at aging has got to be good ol' Jack Abbott, those face creams must be doing something well because he looks great; especially next to Billy or Nick

[SteelCity]

Really?! I think Jack tends to look kinda dried out. HD makeup doesn't work well for him.

[Ryan Chamberlain]

 

Biggest offender on GH. Mo Bernard! 

 

Lay off the Grecian 44, Sonny. 

[Soapsuds]

Jon Hensley? His final years his hair was all over the place.

[edgeofnik]

 

She wasn't known as Wigole for nothin'! Such a shame because RE is stunning. Myron/Stuffy have had bad one. I do get why female actors would opt for wigs during multi-day shoots. 

 

Y&R Doug Davidson. Ugh.
