In August, Knightley [admitted](http://www.instyle.co.uk/beauty/news/keira-knightley-beauty-secrets#j5CierO4Tc3SUhMs.99) that she [wore wigs ](http://motto.time.com/4459024/keira-knightley-wigs-hair-loss/)because “I have dyed my hair virtually every color imaginable for different films. It got so bad that my hair literally began to fall out of my head!” Knightley fans around assumed she was losing her hair permanently and began mourning her luscious locks. In an [interview](http://nymag.com/thecut/2016/09/keira-knightley-is-surprised-about-internet-balding-rumors.html) with The Cut_,_ Knightley clarified exactly what happened to her hair and how, no, she isn’t actually bald. Knightley was confused when she received “a big box of things for female baldness” and had no idea why. The Cut asked her about wearing [wigs](http://time.com/4257494/hair-wigs-history/), to which Knightley responded, “For films. I do wear wigs for films.” Knightley has recently been experiencing the exact opposite of hair loss. “Since being [pregnant](http://motto.time.com/4477402/ryan-reynolds-blake-lively-extraordinarily-pregnant/), I have got ten times more of it,” she said.
