In March 2016, Racked published an essay on "television hair." Instead of braids, the article examined the loose waves that every woman on television seems to obtain sans effort. A stylist interviewed for the piece claimed this hairstyle was simply "easier" for camera work.

And when Mickey Dobbs dashes out to escape a rabid ex, she still manages to tie a neat topknot over her head.
