Karen Gillan's hair

[personal profile] toft asked me to talk about a subject very dear to my heart: Karen Gillan's hair.

Karen Gillan's hair is best known for playing the role of Amy Pond's hair in Doctor Who. It's a very talented performer and in this post I'm going to showcase some of its best work!





Here we see Karen and her hair prepping before a scene.



Here we see in its natural habitat: bathed in golden light.



Bathed in natural sunlight is also a good look.



Karen Gillan's hair has magical gravity-defying properties.





It can also achieve a beautiful wind machine effect with no mechanical assistance.



Here it is in a relaxed state, like a beautiful red waterfall.



It is very versatile and can settle into a range of different roles with ease. Here we have the 'artfully tousled'.



Sophisticated loose ringlets.



Period drama!



Hipster fashionista chic.



It can even form itself into a crown.



ALERT. THE HAIR PICTURED ABOVE IS AN IMPOSTER. LEARN TO RECOGNISE IT ON SIGHT.



Karen Gillan's hair made a noble sacrifice to facilitate a new performer: Karen Gillan's scalp. And a fine scalp it is too.





But look! It is preparing for an encore appearance. :D

And seriously, that Heidi braids hairstyle is SMASHING and I have never seen that photograph before! Her makeup is also lovely.
