Outlander's Caitriona Balfe revealed producers turned down 'mullet' request

Outlander actress Caitriona Balfe revealed producers turned down her request for a mullet after being told her character was going to have her haircut.

In the latest episode of the time travelling saga starring Sam Heughan as Jamie Fraser, Caitriona's character Claire Fraser becomes mysteriously ill.

She is told by Roger that Mrs. Bug and Malva say the way to heal someone with a bad fever is to cut their hair off.

Claire (Caitriona Balfe) has her hair cut off during the latest episode of Outlander (Starz)

Although there could be an ulterior motive from Malva at play, Claire’s gorgeous curls are snipped off.

It leaves Claire with at totally different look - and one that is perhaps a little modern for the 1770s.

Even Jamie is shocked and cries when he sees her.

Now actress Caitriona has shared a behind the scenes picture on her social media and admitted she had asked for a different do.

She told her fans: "When we almost went with the mullet ….. weirdly @TallShipProds

⁩ wouldn’t let us !!!!! ⁦
@Outlander_STARZ

Luckily the hair in Outlander is a wig so the real life Caitriona won't have to suffer the consequences.
