Fact – 8
[Note: This seems to be a copy of Fact 7, hence I will concentrate on another feature of her hair change].
The trip from chestnut to blonde marked Marilyn's whole metamorphosis from Norma Jeane to the modern icon, not only concerning hair colour. Although attractive, her natural brown colour ran counter to the studio's ideal of the ultimate bombshell. The search for the ideal blonde tone turned practically into a scientific process with virtually exact accuracy. Her long-time hair stylist, Pearl Porterfield created a special recipe especially for Marilyn mixing several products and procedures. Marilyn would spend hours every week making sure her roots never displayed, usually timing her visits around production schedules. The maintenance program was somewhat taxing. Beyond only the colour, her commitment to keeping her image developed her distinctive soft, tousled waves that seemed to radiate on camera. She also experimented with other styling techniques. Years later, many of the admirers were startled to discover her natural hair colour since the change was so thorough.
