Elle Lorraine was on the 101 freeway in Los Angeles on the way to visit a friend in Calabasas when she received the call that she booked the lead role in Hulu’s Bad Hair. “I literally had to pull over off the side of the freeway and scream,” she tells StyleCaster.
Like Anna, an entry-level employee at a music network who’s pressured to get a weave to climb the professional ladder, Lorraine was also told a weave would help her career as an actress. “When I first moved to L.A., everyone was telling me I needed to get a weave,” she says. “I already had straight relaxed hair, but it wasn’t too long and it was a little thin, so I think it was coming from a place of ‘present your best self. I’d never had that before.
Ahead, Lorraine talked to StyleCaster about her own natural hair journey, how Bad Hair changed her relationship with her hair and her “girl talks” with Kelly Rowland. On how her hair journey mirrored Anna’s “When I got the weave, my team at the time was like, ‘Oh, yeah! You look so beautiful.’ I kept hearing ‘beautiful’ now in a way I hadn’t heard it before. Then when I went to natural, and I had a lot of people telling me, ‘Well, you need to have a backup wig.’ I had never owned a wig at the time.
