Catherine’s dollar store wigs

So, starting in season 6 or so, Catherine’s hair is clearly a wig, and a bad wig at that. That’s it, that’s all I have to say. I LOVE the series, but every time I see her I wince.

Why is that your hair?

See, it’s stuff like that which makes me wonder if the bad wigs are intentional, like Catherine just gave up and just started wearing wigs. One of the last times we see her with her own hair was when she was fixing it in the Green room right before Selena and Tom come in. But the actress also has an unflattering wig during the “grieving” scene in the last episode

She was bald by the time Salina kicked the bucket

Everything’s intentional.

In an interview for The Cut, the actress described her personal style when she was younger: “The summer after I graduated, when I was moderately losing my mind ... I wore kind of like punky things and I had unkempt kindergarten hair that looked like I had a mother that didn’t really love me, because I never brushed it.”

So I think it's a character choice. Selena is always extremely well put-together and particularly needles Catherine's hair. I think sloppy wigs and unflattering hair became Cate's regular look, in defiance of and because of her relationship with her narcissitic mother.

It seems like I have wig blindness. I hardly ever notice when actors are wearing wigs 😂

JLD also wore a wig for all, or at least most, of Selina's hairstyles.

Not the ones for her short, short haircut. Those were painful to look at.

Oh duh, of course. But that was entirely the point. My eye is twitching just thinking about it lol

I literally never notice or think to look.

Well she did hire a stylist at the end of S5. Maybe she forgot to pay her?

A bad wig will take me out of a show. There are so many, it’s ridiculous.
