According to Julia, when she was about 12, her roots started growing out curly, but the ends were still straight. The actress was clearly unhappy with her natural hair, after which she got it fixed by her hairdresser. She further revealed to The Cut that to get all her hair curly, her hairdresser had to cut her hair super short. “That was one of the weirdest experiences that I’ve ever had in my life. I went to school the next day and everyone was looking at me like, Who’s the new girl? My best friend didn’t recognize me.”

No matter how little of a credit Julia gives to herself, we all know how her curls and she have done wonders on screen. The blonde pixie hairs have become something of a calling card. While everyone in Hollywood only prefers a monotonous, silky, and shiny hair, Ozark actress garnished her personality even more with her ‘halo of bleach-blonde ringlets.’
