"Why Everyone on TV Has the Same Hair"

"As Vanis explains, "It's super relatable and versatile. It's not specific — it works for people with shorter hair, with longer hair. TV lives in this world of sort-of-done, but sort-of-effortless looks. That's why they all have this hair. It's like, 'You could attain this at home, but I also look really polished and put together.'"

You could indeed attain this at home with a curling wand or even a creatively-employed flat iron, but you would run the risk of looking like a beauty pageant contestant and/or a (cool!) Texas mom.

"There's a little bit of fantasy that comes in on television because everything looks distorted from what it looks like to your normal eye," she says. "You might be like, 'Wow, that hair looks crazy, why is there so much height in the crown?' in person, and then you look on a camera screen and it's like, 'That looks normal.' There's a weird distortion that happens between fantasy life and real life, and you're bridging that gap between a relatable quality and looking presentable on TV.""

I had totally noticed this. I feel vindicated.
