Israeli actor Amit Rahav, who stars as Yanky Shapiro in the Netflix mini-series \u201cUnorthodox,\u201d posted on Instagram on Thursday a video that showed him getting clip-on sidelocks, also known as payot, to help him transform into his ultra-Orthodox Satmar character.<\/span><\/p>\n

The sped-up clip shows the 24-year-old sitting in a chair as his makeup and hair artist Jens Bartram gives him the sidelocks, sported by many ultra-Orthodox Jews, by attaching the ringlets to the sides of his short hair.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bartram clips the payot to each side of Rahav\u2019s head before blending them in with the rest of the actor\u2019s hair.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rahav praised the artist\u2019s work in the video\u2019s caption, explaining that Bartram soaked the payot in oil overnight \u201cso I\u2019ll have the shiniest curlers on screen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Netflix mini-series, Yanky Shapiro is the spouse of the lead character Esty (played by Israeli actress Shira Haas), who feels like she is suffocating in the ultra-Orthodox community she was raised in and ultimately decides to flee to Berlin.<\/span><\/p>\n
