Earlier this month, British actor Erin Kellyman revealed that she did her own hair on movie sets "for a really long time" because stylists often didn't know how to work with her hair type. "I thought that's what mixed and Black people had to do," she explained, adding that she'd witnessed "all-white" hair and makeup teams on sets who didn't know "how to do Black and mixed hair" - even if there were multiple non-white actors present. Mike Marsland / Getty Images Erin revealed that it was ultimately her agent who advocated for her and let her know that she should be getting her hair done on set like all her white peers. "She was like, 'So that can't happen, and you're not a diva for wanting your hair to be done when everybody else's hair is getting done,'" the Willow star recalled.

She tweeted in 2019, "Most black actresses come to a new set w/ their hair done (me) or bring their wigs & clip-ins w/them. It's either that or take a chance that you will look crazy on screen."

And New Girl actor Lamorne Morris once revealed that he was made to do his own hair on a production, despite the fact that his costars were able to get their hair cut. "I would have to go to the barbershop at 4, 4.30 a.m. before set to get my hair cut. When I would get to set, I would see everyone else in the hair and makeup trailer getting their hair cut. When I asked why I couldn't get my hair cut at work, it was because - this is what they told me - they didn't have the budget for my hair," he shared. Kevin Winter / Getty Images 4. Tati Gabrielle spent two years doing her iconic finger waves on the series Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, before ultimately realizing that it wasn't "fair." After sharing a video of herself styling her character's hair, Tati shared, "What could take a hairstylist maybe 20 minutes to do my whole head, it took me an hour [to an] hour and a half. I was having to wake up earlier than everybody else to do my own hair. It was just a lot. I went to the point of being like, 'OK, this isn't fair.'"

In a similar vein, Halle Berry once revealed that her iconic pixie cut was actually a deliberate choice, as it meant that her hair was easier to maintain and manage on movie sets. "That's why I had short hair... [Maintaining] it was easy. I think as people of color, especially in the business, we haven't always had people that know how to manage our hair," she said. Timothy A.

"It was definitely my mom always doing my hair, even when I was on Jessie, she would do it the night before filming the next day, so I was prepared," she said, referring to her Disney Channel original series.

"When he went to press my hair, he put a metal comb underneath the comb and that comb slipped out and the pressing comb basically burned my forehead and I had about five or six tooth marks on my face," she recalled. "It was quite frustrating for someone to say that they knew how to do it and kind of use me as an experiment." Amy Sussman / Getty Images 8. Tia Mowry once revealed that she actually broke down in tears on set after seeing the way a hairstylist attempted to do her hair. "I was doing this movie and, my God, I was the lead. And after this person did my hair, I cried. I was like 'I cannot, like, I cannot go out there looking like this," she shared, elsewhere adding, "It's mind-blowing to me that we still have... to fight to have black hairdressers on set for us."

A few years ago, Monique Coleman revealed that she was constantly dressed in headbands in the High School Musical movies to hide how poorly-styled her hair was underneath "We've grown a lot in this industry and we've grown a lot in representation and we've grown a lot in terms of understanding the needs of an African-American actress. But the truth is, is that they had done my hair, and they had done it very poorly in the front," she said. Gregg Deguire / Getty Images Monique explained that crew members on set didn't always have time to fix her hair, ultimately prompting her to suggest that her
