How Wigs Saved Her Traitors Look
Maura Higgins didn’t hold back when explaining why wigs became essential during filming. “I brought wigs to Traitors because my hair is so curly and it gets so frizzy,” she told Interview Magazine. The Love Island UK star knew the Scottish highlands would be brutal on her natural texture.
Harsh weather conditions on set would’ve destroyed traditional styling. Instead of risking frizz and breakage during daily missions, she strategically used pre-styled wigs for camera time. The solution was genius, allowing quick transformations between physically demanding tasks.

The Mission Strategy That Won Her Over
The real MVP moment came during water-based missions. Maura explained her game plan: “On those missions when we were in water and the weather wasn’t the best, it was raining and cold. I would just stick a little beanie cap on, do the mission, then when I’d come back I’d stick my wig back on, and it was already styled.”
This tactical beauty move meant she never had to sacrifice glamour for gameplay. With only 10 minutes to get dressed between activities, having pre-styled wigs ready was game-changing. Her makeup stayed flawless, her outfit looked fresh, and she stayed in her Faithful player lane without distraction.
Her Complete Beauty Arsenal
| Beauty Product | Details |
| Setting Spray | L’Oreal red bottle, makeup did not move all day |
| Mascara | L’Oreal gold mascara, waterproof strength |
| Root Spray | L’Oreal, covers gray hair since age 17 |
| Lip Combo | MAC Spice liner plus MAC Honey lipstick |

Beyond wigs, Maura’s full beauty setup was built for durability. Her L’Oreal setting spray was the MVP, surviving rain, water tasks, and 10-minute makeovers. She’s obsessed with Patrick Ta blushes, uses RéVive skincare, and swears by face masks from Biodance for hydration between missions.
“I’m not the best at styling my hair. I just don’t have patience. I have more fun doing my makeup than my hair. I brought wigs to Traitors because my hair is so curly and it gets so frizzy, so that was the best thing I did in Traitors.”

Building Her Own Hair-Drobe at Home
The wig success didn’t end with filming. Maura is now investing in a permanent hair-drobe collection. “I’m currently getting my house done up and in my dressing room I’m having a hair-drobe with all my wigs on heads,” she revealed. Each wig will be pre-styled and ready, creating her own personal beauty supply store.
This next-level glam move means she’ll never be caught without the perfect hair. The Love Island alumni has become a wig powerhouse, proving that protective styling isn’t just practical—it’s a lifestyle. She’s ditching the hours spent on hair styling frustration in favor of instant glamour.
Why Maura’s Wig Strategy Became Legend Status
What makes Maura’s approach brilliant is her honesty. She didn’t pretend her flawless finale hair was natural—she celebrated the wig investment as her best decision. Fans across The Traitors fandom now understand that glam under pressure requires preparation.
Her practical beauty philosophy has inspired viewers to embrace wigs, protection, and strategic styling. Unlike traditional reality TV beauty standards, Maura proved you can look stunning and polished while being real about the work behind it. That’s the real traitor secret, and it’s changing how audiences think about beauty authenticity.
