Heather's hairstyles

Heather has had ten hairstyles, more than any other character in Total Drama. The following article focuses on Heather's hairstyles.

History
Initially, Heather's hair is about waist-length which she sometimes ties into a ponytail. During the semi-finals of the first season, Heather's head is shaved by Chef, due to Lindsay's dare. She manages to acquire a wig by the next episode that is similar to the wigs worn by Lindsay and Sadie in Phobia Factor, except it is longer, has no highlights, and is a darker color of gray, similar to the color of her real hair. It seems that the wig doesn't fit her well, as it falls off in The Very Last Episode, Really!, Monster Cash, and does not even appear in Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island.

In Alien Resurr-eggtion, the wig falls through a steel grate after Heather is shot in the back with a paintball, and it is never seen again. Heather sorely accepts the fact that she no longer has her wig, and attempts to continue on throughout the season without it, being openly bald.

In the episode One Million Bucks, B.C., Heather decided to try to make herself a new wig with Courtney's hair, as she believed Courtney's hair was far prettier than any of the other remaining female contestants. However, she found it much too difficult to take her hair and instead, she receives a long, red Flintstones-styled wig to match the prehistoric theme of the challenge. She rejected Chris' offer to take it at first, but when Chris said that she would look more "ruthless" without it, she changed her mind. During the challenge, a giant loon attacks her and takes her new wig. Luckily for her, the loon later returns for its egg and she takes it as a chance to get her wig back. She keeps it for the rest of the episode, as well as the next.

When she was eliminated in Million Dollar Babies, she gave Leshawna her wig as an act of friendship and spite.

In The Aftermath: III, Heather gets herself a third wig, a big black afro. However, it is hinted that it is just a temporary wig, as Bridgette was quick to note how "nice" it was, much to Heather's visible displeasure. This is confirmed in Mutiny on the Soundstage and The Aftermath: IV, when she is not wearing it.

As of Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special, Heather's hair has grown partially back, and she now wears it in a small ponytail. She is also seen at one point wearing a fourth wig that is similar to Gwen's hair style, likely only worn to mock and embarrass Gwen. Also, when Heather is shown in her room, there are other wigs that appeared in the background.

In Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1, it is revealed that Heather now has hair extensions. Gwen jokes about it, saying her ponytail is made of pony hair.

By the start of the fourth season, Heather's hair finally grew back into its original lengths, like before, so she does not need any wigs to wear, and same in Up, Up And Away In My Pitiful Balloon.

Trivia

 * Throughout Total Drama Island, Heather has a flat head, even after she had been shaved. However, beginning in Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island, her head is round, most likely an upgrade to her design to make her head look more realistic. This new design remains throughout Total Drama Action until Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special, where it is flat again, most likely because Heather's hair grew back and thus, the round head was not needed anymore.
 * In Cartoon Network's Best. Game. Ever., if the player makes an alliance with Heather, the first reward they will get is the first wig Heather ever wore after having her head shaved.
 * It is unknown how she still has her wig, as she lost it in Alien Resurr-eggtion, and appears bald from that point on.
 * Also, in the Best. Game. Ever., it is possible to gain Heather's fourth wig if the player allies themselves with Gwen.
 * It has been revealed why Heather's hair has taken so long to grow back. The reason why she was bald in Total Drama Action, was because when the accident occurred, she was left with a few patches and Heather stated her hair was growing in patches all uneven. That could be due to the fact she got rid of the patches later, so her hair was growing unevenly.
 * Heather's first wig can be seen in the Total Drama Action opening sequence. Her hair falls into a pot while her and Leshawna were fighting and then DJ adds his Momma's Spice to it and tastes it.
 * Heather's third wig is an afro. Ironically, Heather frequently makes fun of Leshawna's hair whenever it puffs up into an afro.
 * It seems that whenever Heather has a new wig in the series, the time it's seen shortens. Heather had her first black wig for three episodes (if one doesn't count it's brief appearance in Riot On Set), she had her red cave-woman wig for two episodes, she had her afro wig for one episode, and she had her Gwen wig for only a few seconds.
 * There were several goofs with Heather having her original hair while she was supposed to be bald or wearing a wig in Total Drama Action:
 * In the Total Drama Action Promotional Picture.
 * In Monster Cash, when she stepped off the bus and bumped into Gwen, her wig had highlights in it, like her regular hair, even though it is normally seen without these.
 * Later in Monster Cash, when Chef was chasing the raccoon outside of the craft services tent.
 * Later that episode, in the brief shot when Trent threw her out of his way when he was trying to get out of the trailer.
 * Later in the episode, when everyone was sleeping in the bounce house, she had her regular hair, though it changed back to her wig when she woke up.
 * Again in Monster Cash, during the eating challenge when the screen goes from Owen to Chef Hatchet to the other cast members.
 * In Alien Resurr-eggtion, when Heather is running from Chef, her wig has highlights in it again.
 * In the alternate ending of The Aftermath: IV, when all of the contestants crowd around an unconscious Beth.
 * The only episodes in Total Drama World Tour that Heather was mentioned to be bald were Slap Slap Revolution and Planes, Trains, and Hot Air Mobiles.
