2021 Primetime Emmy® Awards Ballot Outstanding Contemporary Hairstyling All American The Bigger Picture Synopsis When a college scout comes to talk to Spencer, he must decide if the strings attached is worth it. Technical Description The unique challenge of The Bigger Picture was using almost exclusively heatless techniques while creating styles that suited the contemporary culture of our young cast. A library of approaches were used to achieve the perfect kinky twists, swirly wavy edges and sleek ponytails which included flexible rods, finger coiling, braids, roller sets, expert use of product and twisting of textured hair. With zero last looks (due to Covid) and minimal to no heat we achieved high artistry and precise continuity. Away Goodnight Mars Synopsis Emma's behavior becomes a cause for concern, Kwesi and Lu team up on a plant mystery, and Rex makes an impulsive decision with far-reaching consequences. Technical Description I chose this Episode 7, Goodnight Mars for the natural resecting of hair. The hairstyles executed were with exclusion techniques to create a natural appearance while respecting the personalities of each character. Behind Her Eyes Behind Her Eyes Synopsis A stunning revelation makes Louise dig deeper into David and Adele's past, and what she discovers pushes her to demand the truth. Technical Description To make the series work, we had to change the look of every characters’ hair from the present-day to the flashbacks (still contemporary, just a few years earlier). Louise, our protagonist had a big transformation using wigs, wefts, and hair extensions. As we were never shooting in sequence, many of the looks needed to be changed quickly. Adele’s hair showed her characters age as the series developed. In the flashbacks she has long hair to symbolizes her youth using ¾ wigs, whilst in the present day it was a short Bob. We had to cut and colour it. Rob had all his hair shaved off, to look like a guy from Glasgow and David had his hair curly for the younger look, which was dyed darker for the older look. Hair plays an important role in the series, especially as it develops since it reveals many clues and characters growth. black-ish Our Wedding Dre Synopsis Pops and Ruby are getting re-married! And Dre's intimate wedding plans go awry when Pops' brother, Uncle Norman, shows up unexpectedly for the festivities. Meanwhile, Ruby refuses Bow's offer to help with preparations until an unanticipated situation gives her an opening to save the big day. Technical Description Ruby's hair was twisted up high w/elegance and style into a beautiful Turban fit for a Queen on her Wedding Day. Bow's curly texture hair was intricately braided down and swirled into a bun. Zoey hair was slicked into 2 buns with Curl products. Extension hair braided into Fishtail's and wrapped around the buns to create a textured look w/ contemporary hair Jewelry. Diane braids were gathered up into a Big Fishtail loose ponytail. Charms were placed on the braid to create a whimsical look. Lead male, mid length sponge rolled coils, done w/ mousse and pomade. Beard, brides the gap in men's styling moisturized w/ beard oil and balm. Everything cut freehand w/ a clipper, scissors, an electric razor and edged up w/ linear and enhanced w/ human fibers for exactness. The 2 sons are cut into lengthy shapes and tapered to skin lined w/ liquid razor and sponged. Bob Hearts Abishola A Tough Old Bird Synopsis Bob and Abishola try to help a sad and Volatile Kemi, who after being dumped by Chukwuemeka, struggles with the reality that her happiest years might be behind her. Sitting in front of her bathroom mirror a defeated Kemi removes her wig revealing grey braids underneath. Folake's short natural hair. Technical Description Our actress has dark short hair. The writers wanted to reveal Kemi taking her wig off in the scene to reveal her grey braided hair underneath. Our actress has neither grey hair nor braids so I braided and colored a lace wig grey with ben-nye snow white and silver grey hair color. Then crimp-ironed the wig to give it more of a coarse African texture. Then we applied a second wig on top of the grey wig. In the scene it appears that once Kemi removes her wig the viewer sees Kemi for the first time without a wig. In reality it’s another wig underneath. The Abishola character’s hair is a wig as well. We cornrow braid the top and sides and individually braid the back. We also add in extension hair to each braid in the wig for bulk and length. The Boys What I Know Synopsis Season Two Finale. Becca shows up on Butcher’s doorstep and begs for his help to get Ryan back. The Boys agree to back Butcher, and together with Starlight, they finally face off against Homelander and Stormfront. But things go very bad, very fast. Technical Description Using simple methods of creating looks works best here. Homelander hairstyle evolves from soft to more controlled, tighter. Maeve wears more modern soft curls. 80% of The Females (Kimiko) natural hair was hidden using mesh to pull tighter, giving a slimmer profile. Scars cut into Frenchies hair in 3 places. Stormfront shaved side represents duality and a remanence of the 3rd Reich. All stunt doubles wigged including Starlight ponytail. Call Your Mother Dating Jean Synopsis Jackie decides she needs to be Jean's relationship guru and helps her land a date with a guy from the farmer's market; Freddie worries that he's not interesting enough for Celia when he learns about her dating history and decides to make a change. Technical Description Kyra Sedgwick’s hair is a lot of fun to create. I use a combination of mousse and heat protectors as a base to her hairstyle. I created her bouncy curls by wrapping it around in different directions with two different sized irons so that it looks natural and finishing it off with hairspray. For her date look, because of the fast pace of sitcoms, I had about five minutes to create the look, so I pull it back and divided it into 5 sections and finished it off with tiny clips. Also, her outfit and hairstyle we felt channeled Olivia Newton John in Grease. Chad K-Pop Synopsis In search of his identity, Chad joins Asian Appreciation Club and stumbles onto the world and wonder of K- Pop. Technical Description Transforming the beautiful Nasim Pedrad into an awkward 14-year-old high schooler every day was no easy feat! We used all the Bobbi pins/glue/toupee clips/wig caps/gel we had to hide her hair under her wig to fully transform her into the indelible Chad. This episode was particularly fun watching Chad try to find himself and falling headfirst into the world of K-Pop. Chemical Hearts Synopsis When a hopelessly romantic high school senior falls for a mysterious new classmate, it sets them both on an unexpected journey that teaches them about love, loss, and most importantly themselves. Technical Description For Grace, I created an unkempt, messy bun. To create fullness, I added extension clips, then minimum backcombed for texture, flipped the hair upside down, shook it, tied it in a bun, and pulled hair where needed. I used these same clips to transform it to the loss wave with a medium-large curling iron and framed it away from her face with a flower crown. I gave Henry a men’s cut with clippers and scissors over comb to create a clean finish without looking too sharp. I blow-dried his hair away from his face with some product and some pieces of hair down, allowing him to run his fingers through it at times. I gave La jumbo braids with mixed hair colors of warm tones and finished with hair jewelry. I re-twisted her new growth and pulled her hair from inside the braid to keep it looking fresh. The Chi Foe 'Nem Synopsis A wedding alters Kevin and Kiesha's lives. Emmett juggles his business and his growing family. Ronnie struggles to find his way. Jake's estranged brother Trig lands back in town on a mission. Season premiere.
