How the Grinch Stole Christmas - Whoville Resident Wig - H4-159

A Whoville Resident Hair piece created for use in Ron Howard’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Universal Pictures, 2000). This instantly recognizable hair piece embodies the film’s playful, over-the-top design sensibility that brought Dr. Seuss’s world to vivid life. The piece consists of a long, tightly curled brown lock of synthetic hair wound perfectly around a bright red hair roller, measuring approximately 10" x 3.5". Custom-made by the film’s award-winning hair and makeup department, this prop was designed for one of the eccentric residents of Whoville, each of whom sported delightfully exaggerated hairstyles that helped define the film’s unforgettable visual style. Every Who’s hair was treated as a character unto itself, and this piece captures that spirit perfectly, equal parts quirky, festive, and Seussian. The film’s hairstyling and makeup teams went on to win the Academy Award® for Best Makeup, cementing these handcrafted designs as icons of Christmas movie magic.
