Don't Worry Darling major spoilers follow.
It turns out transforming Harry Styles's hair for his big Don't Worry Darling twist was a much bigger challenge than expected.
The movie focuses on Styles and Florence Pugh's young couple Jack and Alice and their life in the seemingly idyllic utopia the Victory Project.
However, as Alice digs deeper into the secrets of what's really going on she learns that – and major spoilers if you haven't seen the movie – the town is actually a VR world in the present day in which men control women.

Jack, it turns out, is actually an unemployed man who sits at his computer every day, with the real-life Alice a surgeon who works long hours, whom he now controls.
As such, the movie's creators had to create a distinct look for Styles's real Jack, who has long greasy hair and acne.
"It was about finding that balance and a fine line of pushing him in a different direction, but not so far," hair department head Jaime Leigh McIntosh told Variety.

She explained that she wanted to make Styles's hair look "lank and more lifeless", which was a big challenge as "Harry's hair is just so full of volume", so they had to get a wig made instead.
"When it's long and scraggly, that was two pieces stitched together," she revealed. "When he has the short back and sides, I used the top of the wig and trimmed it to blend with Harry's own sides and back."
They also got Styles to grow a beard amid filming during the pandemic, cutting into it to "make it look scraggly and sparse", and created acne scars on his face.
Well, we've certainly all now seen Styles in a new light.
Don't Worry Darling is out now in cinemas.
