The Wilds: Shelby's Teeth and Hair Explained by Mia Healey

[Editor's note: The following contains spoilers for The Wilds, Season 1, Episode 8, “Day Sixteen.”]

There’s a lot to love about every single character in the new Amazon Prime series, The Wilds, but Mia Healey’s Shelby Goodkind might be one of the most complex of the bunch. Not only does Episode 8, “Day Sixteen,” reveal Shelby’s drastically different post-island look, but it also takes us back to her home life, highlighting an especially pivotal and devastating experience that no doubt continues to weigh heavy on Shelby’s head and heart. While we are given answers throughout, by the end of Season 1, there’s question upon question about how Shelby’s managing that grief, how she plans to move forward from here and if she’s got some sort of plan brewing to break out of the facility. But, it seems as though two of the most popular burning questions out there pertain to behind-the-scenes details; did Healey really shave her head for the role and does she use a flipper?

Healey herself answers both questions and details the behind-the-scene requirements for Shelby's hair and teeth in this clip from Collider Ladies Night!
