When there is a decapitation, does the hair department style the severed head?

Yes! ''You get so engrossed in it, looking at this head, and you're looking at a person you know,'' says show's hair designer Kevin Alexander, who often styles the prop head with the wig worn by the actor's double. ''How involved we get with it depends on how close the camera is going to get and what they're going to do with it. 'Is it going to roll across the floor?' It's good fun.''
