So, you thought all the cowboy grit in Landman came down to spurs and oil rigs? Let’s get real for a second — none of those West Texas icons would look half as authentic without the razor-sharp snips and snazzy curls from Tim Muir. Slide your hat back and get ready, because we’re taking the scenic route through the most crucial department in Taylor Sheridan’s Landman arsenal: the hair squad. Namely, the department head, Tim Muir, who’s painted entire stories just with a swoosh of mousse and a streak of Texas blond.
Meet Tim Muir: The Sheridan-Verse’s Mane Man
Now, if the name Tim Muir rings a faint, dusty bell in your Yellowstone-lovin’ mind, you’re not wrong. Muir’s already wrangled locks in Sheridan shows like Yellowstone, creating a signature look that’s part prairie wind, part high-stakes drama. Taylor Sheridan loves his authenticity, and for Season 2 of Landman, he didn’t just want hair — he wanted each strand to tell a story about the Lone Star State and the folks making it tick. According to Muir, every style, every streak, every out-of-place curl comes with intent. Not convinced? Hang tight.
Designing from the Roots Up: Hair as Character DNA
Muir doesn’t just look at headshots and say, “Give me Texas.” Nope. He goes deeper. He pokes around in the script and chats it up with costuming and makeup because every department needs to sing harmony. For Landman Season 2, the goal sat crystal-clear: show off where each character comes from and where they want to go, using only their hair as a compass.
And Tim gets his hands dirty. He pulls inspiration not just from scripts but also from personal memory. He grew up in Texas, so he knows that a cheerleader’s hair in the Permian Basin doesn’t flop the same as a Houston debutante’s, nor does a pump jack roustabout have time for gel or volume. Every choice counts, right down to the sweat stains and sun-bleached tips.
Roughneck Realness: Sweat, Sun, and Shears
Let’s cut right to the blue-collar action on the rigs. For the working guys — those who wrangle pipe instead of cattle — the goal remains simple: make it believable. Tim keeps haircuts as no-nonsense as the men getting them. There’s sweat, and there’s dirt, and there’s nothing fluffy or fussy. Muir and his small army of stylists sometimes spend half the day mussing things up — literally working oil and texturizer into the hair so audiences can almost smell the diesel.
And because Sheridan wants you to taste the grit (not just see it), Tim keeps it rough around the edges. Short, jagged cuts, practical and sun-beaten. These dudes don’t line up at Austin salons. They get their trims on back porches or, frankly, not at all.
Angela and Ainsley Norris: Big Hair, Big Ambitions
Swing over to the Norris women, though, and you enter completely new territory. Muir dialed up those hairdryers. Michelle Randolph’s Ainsley Norris rocks that classic Texas cheerleader vibe — long, blonde, not a strand out of place unless the plot calls for trouble. Ali Larter’s Angela, meanwhile, is all about high drama, big personality, and even bigger hair. With every episode, Angela’s hair practically announces her in the room ten seconds before she walks in.
Tim’s crew does regular root touch-ups and keeps a sharp eye on continuity. After all, filming a show over months that’s supposed to take place over a few weeks? Yup — they need to keep things as fresh as a West Texas lemon slice in iced tea.
Demi Moore’s Cami Miller: Polished but Punchy
All eyes land on Demi Moore when she steps in as Cami Miller. Let’s not lie — Moore’s always had hair moments. But under Tim Muir’s hands, she slips into one of the show’s sleekest wigs, a sharp lob that radiates money, power, and just a splash of socialite ice. Fun fact: Moore kept her own hair, and instead, Tim brought in a custom wig, knowing the character needed to look perfectly put together, even if the drama gets messy.
Character aside, those clean lines and almost mirror-like shine on Cami’s hair send a message. In the Sheridan-verse, hair is armor as much as attitude. Cami doesn’t just want to look good. She must look untouchable, thanks to Muir.
Jon Hamm’s Oilman Vibe
Of course, Jon Hamm slides into the cast this year as a big-money oil type, and Muir doesn’t miss a beat. Hamm’s not exactly the Don Draper here. Instead, Muir softens Hamm’s look just enough — slick but not precious. Sometimes his hair reacts to the humidity and the stress of the plot, reminding you even bigwigs sweat under that brim.
How Texas Shaped These Styles
You can’t talk Landman hair without talking Texas. Tim grew up there, so he’s got stories (and style tips) baked in. Texas is a place where hair can mean rebellion, pride, tradition — or just a busy Monday on a wind-blasted oil lease. And Tim knows that. So he brings back the subtle ombre, the sun-weathered ends, and even the styles you see at a high school rodeo final on a Saturday night.
But there’s always detail work behind the scenes. Those blondes? Regular refreshes, since filming stretches over months. Even little things, like the way a hat sits on Jon Hamm’s head or how Angela’s hair gets a little frizz after a late-night scene — Tim fine-tunes it all.
Collaboration Station: How the Crew Makes It All Happen
No mastermind goes it alone. Tim’s not shy about singing the praises of his crew. This is a team project, after all. Stylists, wig wranglers, continuity bigwigs — all jump in to tie the look to the moment, even if that moment means racing to hide a stray flyaway before a tight close-up.
And they don’t just serve the script. They serve the actors. Moore, Hamm, Randolph — all bring ideas from their own playbooks. Some show up knowing what hair worked (or didn’t) in past projects. Demi Moore especially has an eye for hair that works with camera angles, and Jon Hamm? He’s got personal style opinions. Tim takes that feedback, dishes out his own inspired take, and together, they create magic.
Hair, Story, and West Texas Swagger
So, what do you get when you mix Tim Muir’s hands, a Texas sunset, and a top-shelf cast? You don’t just see characters — you see human stories, told right down to the ends of their hair. There’s Cami’s icy bob, just begging you to second-guess her motives. There’s Angela’s hurricane of blonde, bouncing through the Miller mansion like a warning shot. The roughnecks and rig bosses keep it scrappy and real, because they just clocked out after a twelve-hour shift.
But you also see risks. Demi Moore traded her Hollywood glam for a character ready to get her shoes muddy (hair still flawless, don’t worry). Angela’s style is a thunderclap, not a whimper. Even Jon Hamm, usually the handsome leading man, gets roughed up for Texas and looks better for it.
Here’s the deal: Hair matters. It might be the most subtle, but also the most honest, storyteller in the entire Landman saga. Every bit of dye and every can of product tells its own little tale.
Rounding Up the Locks: Final Thoughts from the Hair Trailer
As Landman season two heats up, keep an eye glued to the hair. If you blink, you’ll miss the little touches — the practical cuts, the untamed roots, the polished lobs, and the wind-whipped manes. Tim Muir and his nimble-fingered team keeps it all humming, rain or shine, drama or downtime.
So, when you watch Cami Miller lay down the law, or Angela Norris stomp into a room looking like a tornado with great highlights? Thank Tim Muir and Texas weather for getting it just right. Because out in West Texas, the hair’s as big, bold, and rowdy as the legend itself — and you wouldn’t want it any other way.
