Susan Olsen’s Hair Falls Out From Frequent Dyeing On Brady Bunch

Susan Olsen, who played Cindy Brady on The Brady Bunch, revealed that she had to dye her hair blonde every three weeks to maintain the character's signature look, which caused her hair to start falling out due to the harsh chemicals used. Her naturally straight hair required her to sleep in rollers to achieve Cindy's iconic curls, a task her mother helped with. Co-star Mike Lookinland also shared that maintaining his character's darker hair involved using strong chemical dyes common in the 1970s. Olsen and her co-stars reflected on the genuine bond they shared during filming, crediting the show's lead actors for fostering a positive environment. The extensive hair treatments and styling were a significant part of Olsen's experience as a child actress on the show. Despite the physical challenges, Olsen and the cast members remember their time on The Brady Bunch fondly.
