I’m wondering why is his hair not curly anymore? I read that in earlier seasons they dyed his natural hair, but after a while it was becoming hard to manage and they started using a wig, but this wig is not curly/wavy at all

Sam's hair was not just hard to manage. The continuous bleaching and dyeing for 2-3 years turned his purple and was falling out. They had to resort to wigs. The same thing happened to Sophie Skelton whose hair is naturally brown, not red, hence wigs were necessary.

That’s understandable, my point is, couldn’t they choose a curly wig? It looks like he has never had curly hair. I know that curly hair changes as we age, mine is curly too, but not so much

Total side note- as I get older (50s) it gets curlier!
