Not handiest does Episode 8, “Day Sixteen,” display Shelby’s substantially specific post-island look, however it additionally takes us lower back to her domestic life, highlighting an mainly pivotal and devastating enjoy that no question keeps to weigh heavy on Shelby’s head and heart. While we’re given solutions throughout, with the aid of using the give up of Season 1, there’s query upon query approximately how Shelby’s coping with that grief, how she plans to transport ahead from right here and if she’s were given a few kind of plan brewing to interrupt out of the facility. But, it appears as aleven though of the maximum famous burning questions obtainable pertain to in the back of-the-scenes details; did Healey absolutely shave her head for the function and does she use a flipper?
Healey currently took the time to enroll in us for an episode of Collider Ladies Night to talk about her adventure from her earliest inspirations to scoring the function of Shelby on The Wilds. You can wager we spoke approximately Shelby’s dating with Toni (Erana James), the forged chemistry and Healey’s hopes for Season 2, however proper now we’re placing the questions on Healey’s hair and enamel to bed. No, Healey didn’t absolutely shave her head for the function, however that doesn’t imply she wouldn’t be inclined do it! Here’s what she had to mention approximately that and the method of being outfitted for a bald cap:
“The bald cap became one of the coolest matters I’ve ever done. I became on foot round and I became like, ‘I’m gonna shave my head.’ If they desired me to shave my head for Season 2 for the complete time, I could do it. It became so cool. A long term in hair and make-up. They sincerely flew me to Sydney, that’s wherein I’m from which became great, so I were given to mention hello to mother and dad. But they flew me to Sydney to do a forged over my head. I sincerely have a picturegraph of it on my Instagram. And that’s some thing that became absolutely tough for me due to the fact it’s form of claustrophobic. You’re absolutely blanketed on this silicon, I don’t even understand what it is, that creates a mould of your complete head to chest. And you’re in there for like 20 mins seeking to breathe via those tiny little holes, which became tough however it became fun. It became quite a few fun. They are so proper at their process the humans that paintings there, so it became great. Then they made a bald cap from that form of my head after which brought every person hair onto it. Like each unmarried hair on there has been installed one with the aid of using one. Amazing. Then while we have been doing it, I became in hair and make-up for like 4 and a half, 5 hours getting it on then mixing it in with my skin. I wasn’t capable of devour breakfast or some thing due to the fact you can’t chunk with it on, so it became tough however it became a lot fun. I simply cherished on foot round in it. It became great.”
From there, Healey addressed Shelby’s enamel. As discovered early on withinside the show, Shelby makes use of a flipper, a detachable denture, to update lacking enamel. Again, no, Healey doesn’t absolutely use a denture, however the interest there does talk to the extent of expertise in the back of the lens on the subject of promoting this sort of visible element. Healey broke down how they controlled to drag that off:
“The flipper, they simply positioned little dots on my enamel via the camera. Not on my real enamel and simply in post [production], edited them out, that’s extremely good due to the fact even if I’m transferring and speaking they have been simply going shot with the aid of using shot, body with the aid of using body and doing away with the ones enamel that’s absolutely cool. And then I had a flipper that had the enamel on it after which a flipper that didn’t have the enamel on it so I had some thing to click on in and some thing to click on out. But they have been various things so each time I became like, ‘Okay, we need to have the flipper withinside the shot due to the fact she’s already taken it out,’ so I even have the only with the enamel on it after which they reduce after which I need to [have] the only with out a enamel on it so I can click on it in, due to the fact I sincerely have enamel there so I couldn’t click on in a right one. So it became very stop/starting, however with the aid of using the give up of Season 1, all people became so used to the method and that they have been like, ‘Okay,’ and we have been all execs at it and we simply knew precisely what to do.”
