12 Things You Didn't Know About Christina Hendricks

10. She Hates Her Mad Men Hair Styles

It would be easy to assume that Hendricks loves the iconic hair style of her Mad Men character Joan, given how she's had to stick with it for the show's 7-year run so far. However, Hendricks in fact isn't a fan of Joan's permanently worn-up do, saying, "One thing I tried for years and was told no every time was I wanted her to have her hair down. And my boss said, 'Women find a style they like and they stick to it', and I went, 'That's the craziest thing, my girlfriends and I are changing our colours and cuts all the time'". Apparently preparing Joan's hair for the show takes approximately three hours, and the make-up department was militant about ensuring the style was consistent throughout episodes. Hendricks said, "There was very little wiggle room - they watched my hair like a hawk. I heard there was a threat at one point that if I kept asking to put my hair down, they were just going to chop it off.'' Who knows? With the show's series finale airing in a few short weeks, perhaps the last episode will see Joan let her hair down once and for all.
