The first thing Camille was asked to do was keep Halle’s beautiful dreadlocks, and for the good of the stylist, her experience with other beautiful actresses like Lupita N’yongo worked for her.
“If we take hair and wrap it around his dreadlocks, we don’t have to cut or dye it. We can change your color without changing the internal structure of your hair. Her structure and her hair are her, ”he concluded for Variety.
To choose the ideal hair color, Camille had to take into account her skin tone, the physiognomy of her face, the color of her eyes and even her body, a job that took 12 to 14 hours.
The cost of this process totaled close to 150 thousand dollars; however, despite all the hard work, special effects had to be used for the scenes in the water.
“Dreadlocks don’t float and the hair needed to look like it could dance, so extra strands had to be added and digital animation had to be used.”
