I'm watching the second season right now. Peggy's hair is already shorter but not layered. Judging from season 5 (on MeTV on Sunday's) it does look a bit damaged. Also darker, as though they weren't highlighting it as much. Maybe the producers decided to change her look. It's also possible that, being 5 years older and perhaps not eating well, took a toll on her hair. But I agree it was beautiful in season 1.

It's called the God-awful SHAG. :)-

I'm just watching an episode in season 3 where Peggy has a shag. And it looks AWFUL. Luckily, they let her grow her hair back because the episodes from Season 5 that I've seen show her with her long hair. But it never was as long and glossy as in Season 1.

That wasn't a true shag! For an example of what a REAL shag looked like, find an old photo of David Cassidy from The Partridge Family days...THAT was what a shag should have looked like.

I agree. The cut was god-awful and looked RIDICULOUS! I'm sure the original trimming was simply to cut off split ends/damage, but the shag was an attempt to keep up with the modern look, and a failed one. A shag should NOT have been layered at the cap, with waist-length long bits, and no layers in between.

In fact, part-way through the season (and they seemed to have shot/aired things in different orders, because the shag shows up, goes away, then comes back, they let her (or she chose to) grow it out, and it becomes less obvious.
