Kate Winslet is looking back at her different hair makeovers for her iconic characters in Titanic and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
The star confessed that she felt completely rebellious with blue hair on the set of the 2012 film, portraying Clementine, starring alongside Jim Carrey, adding a “wild and reckless” touch to her personality.
Kate revealed that she actually didn’t have to dye her hair for the role, as the hair and makeup department had a number of wigs for her, which she got to keep and still uses around the house with her kids.

She also said that one of the reasons her hair looks so real in the movie, is because they all have a natural root, “and the bright pop of color was yarn dye, not hair color dye.”

Kate admitted that she was very excited when director Jim Cameron asked if she wanted to do “something really bold with her hair,” making it an intense, unusual red.
