Freya Allan’s character underwent a remarkable evolution in The Witcher’s third season, particularly in the Korath episode, where her latent powers came to the forefront. It is not just the transformation of the character Ciri that is intriguing, but also the way Freya Allan embodied this change. If one were to closely observe, the stark contrast between Season 1 and Season 2 Ciri would almost make it seem like a complete recast.

Beyond her distinctive eyebrows, it is her hair that truly captivates attention. Considering Allan’s natural hair, the mystery looms about her character, Ciri’s hair. Does she don a wig? Unraveling the truth behind this follicular enigma adds to the intrigue.

Freya Allan and her hair in The Witcher: A Wig?

During viewers’ initial encounter with the Lion Cub of Cintra in Season 1, she sported bleached eyebrows and an intricate American doll hair wig. As the story progressed, her natural eyebrows emerged, albeit groomed and slightly over-plucked. Her hair also carried a weighty presence, casting a shade of artificiality. The question lingers: does Allan don a wig? The Witcher seems to suggest so, but reality paints a different picture. Season 2 unveiled her with entirely blonde and voluminous hair, which almost seemed like a meticulously crafted wig. Much like Henry Cavill’s discreet choice of hairpieces.

As per Kotaku, Ciri sports a natural look adorned with soft tendrils and elegantly tucked braids, accompanied by delicate wisps. While the production remains rather mum about her hairpiece, the stark contrast between her on-screen and real-life hair gives rise to a wig-like impression. The enchanting hue of her white-blonde hair further solidifies this notion, aligning her appearance with that of a Witcher, whose hair famously turns white as a result of the trials and tribulations they endure.

When it comes to Ciri’s appearance, there were striking differences between her looks in Season 1 and Season 2. What exactly changed?

The evolution of Ciri’s look in The Witcher Season 2

Ciri’s character has undergone such a remarkable transformation that it almost feels like a complete recasting. The evolution from being the sheltered princess of Cintra to emerging as a fierce warrior has been truly remarkable. Notably, the makeup changes in Season 2 steered away from the ghostly appearance of an elven child, while her eyebrows were given a more natural and subtle hue.

Another noticeable change was in her age. Due to the delays Season 2 faced, Allan had a growth spurt, which naturally altered her character’s appearance a bit. With her natural blonde hair and hazel eyes, Allan’s transformation became even more apparent. As the initial shoots for Season 2 were postponed due to COVID, the English actress had matured by the time filming began. These various factors contributed to the differences in Ciri’s look in Season 2.
