Farmer notes that working on the princesses’ hair was particularly enjoyable. “They were of a different generation than Eddie’s and Shari Headley’s [who plays Lisa] characters,” she says, who are more influenced by European styles. “I was able to play off the culture of today, where the kids and the youth are unapologetically supportive of their hair textures and their heritage, so it was really fun to portray that through their hair.”
Morris found a favorite in Wesley Snipes’s Nextdorian look. At first glance the actor’s General Izzi might seem to be sporting cornrows, but, as Morris explains, “I actually created these mountains that each has its own carved-out valleys on top of his head.” She secured everything in place with a mixture of hairspray and gels like Got2b’s Ultra Glued Gel and Kemet Gold Gel Activator. “I was inspired by the edginess of his character, and knew I could play around and do something different,” she says, adding that she took inspiration from the Rwandan tribe Amasunzu.

“I just thought it was so cool how this tribe adorned their hair, and I came up with my own kind of style influenced by it and implemented it into his character,” she says. The same inspirations applied to Taylor’s looks throughout the film. “Even though the Nextdorians don’t have as much money as the Zumandans, we knew we still had to have them be swagged out. We wanted to be true to the culture. Because we know that in real life, these are often the people who are creating the culture, pushing it forward, being creative, and setting the style trends,” says Farmer.
