According to the people at Madame Tussauds, their iconic wax figures get their hair washed and styled on the regular.
“Artists inspect and primp each figure daily before the attraction opens,” the museum boasts in a press fact sheet.
You should also know that it may have taken longer to create Waxy Harry then it did to put together the original heartthrob’s image.
“From the first private sitting with a celebrity to completion, it takes approximately four months to create a figure.”
More than 250 “precise measurements” go into creating a Tussauds waxwork. But not every measurement reflected in a statue is actually, well, precise: “Because wax shrinks, wax figures are made two percent larger than the real life subjects they portray.”
Fun fact, though: Wax Harry also writes better songs.
