Monique Coleman, 40, came up with the idea for her character Taylor McKessie to wear a variety of headbands in the 2006 movie because the crew didn't know how to work with Black hair.
"But the truth is, is that they had done my hair, and they had done it very poorly in the front,"
Crew members were short on time to fix her hair before filming began, so she suggested that they "incorporate headbands into her character" and "just make that a part of who she is."
