Every job has its demands, and many people make sacrifices in their personal lives to advance their careers. However, actors and actresses sometimes experience some peculiar demands on their hair's appearance, well beyond the common restrictions in other professions that may simply require neatly-trimmed hair (and for men, beards) .
There are limitations to what can be done with wigs and fake beards. When performers make real changes to their hair's appearance for a part, with shaving, cutting, straightening, curling, or dyeing, such that they look different in the mirror in the morning, that's commitment. That's Dyeing for Your Art.
This entry does not cover those actors and actresses who dye their hair all the time for professional or personal reasons e.g. Billie Piper, Gwen Stefani and the late Marilyn Monroe. They're Dye Hard. Though the two can overlap sometimes if an actor prefers the hair color they were required to change to and keeps it that way. When Dyeing For Your Art affects the appearance of another character played by the same actor, see Real Life Writes the Hairstyle.
Often overlaps with Oscar Bait nowadays. When the casting directors opt to have the actors focus on their performance instead of the character's appearance it's Ability over Appearance. If an actor gains weight for role, it's a case of Intentional Weight Gain.

To play the super fit, athletic Igor Grom, Tikhon Zhiznevsky overhauled his diet, lost 10 kilograms (22 lbs), and underwent a heavy training regimen (using both the Major Grom comics and Brad Pitt from Fight Club and Snatch. as body references). He also dyed his curly blonde hair dark brown and cut it short to remove the curls. Zhiznevsky stated that he took the role in part because of the challenge of undergoing a physical transformation.

The Bella Twins may be identical twins, but Nikki claims that she has a naturally more voluptuous body than her sister. So in order to match Brie's waifier frame, she had to do daily ab and cardio workouts. In 2013 this was abandoned as she got into bodybuilding and developed a more muscular physique.

When the Mexican Box y Lucha Libre comision decided to once again acknowledge luchadoras, one of the first women's hair vs hair matches to take place on a national stage was Medusa's against Irma �guilar at EMLL in 1987. Two years later, �guilar would go on to shave the legendary Martha Villalobos while Rossy Moreno would continue to cement her legacy by shaving Vicky Carranza.

He lost a dangerous amount of weight to play a drug-addicted soldier in Courage Under Fire and had to be on medication for years afterward because of how it affected his health. This frail look almost made him lose the part of James Ryan.

Pam & Tommy had the two main characters portrayed through extensive make-up sessions. Lily James's Pamela Anderson emerged from a prosthetic forehead with thin eyebrows, dentures, blue contact lenses, a prosthetic chest, and a blonde wig. Sebastian Stan at least could keep his hair, even if longer and dyed, for Tommy Lee, while adding in brown contacts, fake tattoos all over his body, and prosthetic pierced nipples. (not to mention a prosthetic penis in the one episode with full frontal nudity...)

Good Luck Charlie has a major dose of this. Leigh-Allyn Baker is blonde as Amy Duncan, but was a redhead on Will & Grace.
Bridgit Mendler also has blonde hair as Teddy but showed an old school photo of herself in an episode with red hair, and complained about not being able to get a suntan in another episode. That is a common complaint for redheads.

Heathers:
Shannen Doherty is naturally black-haired, and was asked to bleach it blonde so that all three Heathers would be blondes. She refused, and they compromised by having her become a redhead.
Winona Ryder was still getting cast as Emo Teen characters and resembled Lydia from Beetlejuice, nearly getting denied an audition for not being pretty enough. She went to a local Macy's department store and was given a makeover to audition, and eventually won the part of Veronica in Heathers

Family Guy Fanon does an in-universe example with Mayor Wild West. When he's determined to become overweight to win the obese side of Quahog over to his side in "Fattest in the West", he gained almost a hundred pounds to be classified as obese. Originally, he wanted to try a Fat Suit, but went this direction upon seeing how long it took from a test try with Peter, and being full-on uncomfortable.

For Apocalypse Now Marlon Brando shaved his head to play Kurtz. To Francis Ford Coppola's chagrin, that's all he did to prepare for the part. He was supposed to lose weight for the role of Kurtz, but he showed up extremely obese.
An unintentional example from the same film - when Martin Sheen punches the mirror, he actually cut himself and opted for a Throw It In! moment by spreading the blood across his face.

A marginal example with series lead Jennifer Morrison. She is actually a natural blonde but had been dyeing her hair brown for House. She went back blonde to play Emma Swan. Midway through filming Season 6 she opted to cut her hair to shoulder length, and just wore hair pieces for the remaining episodes.

Chyna first came into the WWF in 1997 with huge muscles, especially in her biceps and had very masculine facial features. She was so much bigger than the other women (she was billed as weighing 201 pounds, but actually weighed around 180) that she was assigned to wrestling with the men. By late-2000, she had shed 20 pounds of muscle mass in order to achieve a more feminine look and received several cosmetic surgeries as well as wearing skimpier outfits and more makeup. Her new look succeeded in getting her a Playboy pictorial, but she now lacked the size to be a believable opponent for men and was reassigned to the women's division.

Rob McElhenny (Mac) did this twice for It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
He gained 50 lbs for the seventh season and lost most of the weight as the season progressed. He has explained that making his character get fat was part of the sitcom deconstruction that the show is aiming for but was told to lose weight at the advice of his doctor.
For the thirteenth season, he did the opposite and spent seven months in a hardcore workout regiment, getting ripped enough to take part in the elaborate dance sequence at the end of "Mac Finds his Pride."

To play the role of Dorita “Dottie� Perez in The Perez Family, Marisa Tomei had to do exercises to strengthen her arms and thighs, wear skin dye and go through a fattening regimen that added about 20 pounds, which gave her a figure more curvaceous and voluptuous that earned her enough praise in the press when the film was released.

Spider-Man: No Way Home had three Spider-Men, all having to bulk up for the role - with Tom Holland having just come out from playing an emaciated drug addict in Cherry (2021), and both Maguire and Andrew Garfield noting getting back into shape was not as easy as when they were in their 20s. Willem Dafoe's return as the Green Goblin also counts as he demanded to have No Stunt Double in spite of being in his sixties, to feel the physical connection to the role.

He shaved his head (including his eyebrows) as well as his body for the "real world" scenes in The Matrix. Those scenes were the last ones filmed and were shot altogether. The very last scene shot was the one where he first woke up in the real world, and he had lost considerable weight to give a slightly emaciated appearance. He would later shave his head again as well as shaving off his beard in the fourth instalment.

His Grinch make-up, which not only was full-bodied but hindered his breathing as the nose was covered, along with full-eyeball contact lenses and dentures, had the studio hiring a Navy SEAL who taught Carrey torture-resistance techniques (before that, his make-up artist noted he had a breakdown and was very unhelpful).

Sofia Vassilieva (of Medium) shaved off her eyebrows and long blonde hair for her role as a cancer patient in My Sister's Keeper. Her co-star, Cameron Diaz, wore a bald cap for the brief scene where she shaved her head. Vassilieva reportedly got the role after Dakota Fanning stepped down, refusing to shave her head for the film.

When Big Show debuted in WCW as "The Giant", he permed his hair, presumably to look more like André the Giant, since he was supposed to be André's Kayfabe son. He stopped doing so around late 1996 once he joined the New World Order.

One of the director/producers of Airplane! tells the story of being pretty much a punk kid at the time the movie was made, and hesitantly approaching Robert Stack and asking if just possibly the actor would be willing to dye his hair for the movie. Stack laughed and made a comment to the effect of "Don't worry about it, kid, when you bought me, you bought the package."

The Boys (2019) has Antony Starr dyeing his hair blonde to play Homelander, and Dominique McElligott becoming auburn-colored for Queen Maeve. Both, along with Erin Moriarty's Starlight, also said their costumes fit the trope: Starlight's "squeezed my torso until I couldn't feel my organs" (Moriarty added being skintight gets even worse as she's padded both in the front for the cleavage, and the back to enhance the Heroic Build), Maeve's corset prevented McElligott from properly bending, and the muscle padding in Homelander's suit made things very hot during the Toronto summer (Starr carried around a bag with iced water hosed onto his suit to keep himself cooled, joking he should've put in a pole to pretend it was an IV drip).

Spider-Man Trilogy:
Spider-Man:
Kirsten Dunst used a combination of her real hair (dyed) and a partial wig for the first movie, with the join between the real and fake hair being painfully obvious at times.◊ She used her own hair (again dyed) for the second and third one.
Tobey Maguire had to gain some muscle to play Spider-Man. His worst experience was for the second movie because he had become very thin to play a jockey in Seabiscuit.
Spider-Man 3 had scored a hat trick of hair dyes when you factor in Elizabeth Banks as Betty Brant (blonde to brunette) and Bryce Dallas Howard as Gwen Stacy (the opposite of Dunst: a redhead becoming blonde).
Topher Grace gained 24 pounds of muscle and bleached his hair to play Eddie Brock in Spider-Man 3.
Thomas Haden Church put on 28 pounds of muscle and dropped 10 pounds of fat for Sandman. In articles at the time, it was stated that they wanted him to gain more muscle weight but gave up on it due to Church pretty much hitting a plateau.

Krissy Vaine claims that she had about five tryout matches with WWE and was told they couldn't hire her because she looked too similar to Torrie Wilson (their exact words: "we already have one of those"). She darkened her hair slightly and was hired immediately. Then after a few months, she opted to go back to her original color and was told she was going on the road. And would debut in a segment with Torrie Wilson.

In Jurassic World, Bryce Dallas Howard plays a character who spends the entire movie on high heels. This includes trekking through a jungle and running from bloodthirsty dinosaurs. Howard "trained to run in heels like it was for the Olympics", with all the ankle-bursting difficulties this implies. The sequel avoided this, to the point its director "texted me '#noheels2018'. And I was like 'Ya boy!'"

When Davey Boy Smith first came to the WWF in 1985 as 1/2 of the British Bulldogs tag team, he was a muscular but not-too-big 245 pounds. After they left and Davey returned on his own in the early 1990s, he had begun using steroids and had gained 30 pounds of muscle.

Most of the cast of Major Grom: Plague Doctor drastically altered their looks for the film:
To play the super fit, athletic Igor Grom, Tikhon Zhiznevsky overhauled his diet, lost 10 kilograms (22 lbs), and underwent a heavy training regimen (using both the Major Grom comics and Brad Pitt from Fight Club and Snatch. as body references). He also dyed his curly blonde hair dark brown and cut it short to remove the curls. Zhiznevsky stated that he took the role in part because of the challenge of undergoing a physical transformation.
For the role of Sergei Razumovsky, Sergei Goroshko lost roughly 33 lbs (also by overhauling his diet) and had his light-brown hair straightened and dyed the character's signature coppery red. Reportedly, the dye was so strong that his hair remained that color for months afterward. He also wore contact lenses to turn his eyes blue and, later, golden yellow.
To play the odious Nouveau Riche socialite Kirill Grechkin, Yuri Nasonov bleached his dark brown hair whitish-blonde, had fake tattoos applied, and wore gold veneers. The hair caused some issues: Nasanov was acting in a stage play at the time, and neglected to tell the director he'd changed his hair until after the fact. (Fortunately, he was able to wear a wig for the rest of the play's run.)
Aleksey Maklakov wore a fake mustache and dyed his hair light grey to give himself an older, more "fatherly" look as Fyodor Prokopenko.
Mikhail Evlanov was fitted with a full dental prosthetic that had rows of teeth, similar to a shark's mouth, in order to give him Strelkov's unsettling smile.
Lyubov Aksyonova dyed her light-brown hair apple red to play Yulia Pchyolkina.

He also starved himself for two weeks to play Steven Jay Russell, a con artist purportedly dying of AIDS in I Love You Phillip Morris. The real Stephen Jay Russel didn't have AIDS either, he merely starved himself and falsified his medical records as part of an elaborate escape plan. Carrey also shaved off his widow's peak to expose more of his forehead and look smarter.

Eva Marie was signed to WWE with dark brown hair. Management wanted her to change her color to avoid being mistaken for the Bella Twins. She first got a few red streaks in, and the next day was told to become platinum blonde. Eva balked at that idea and became fire engine red instead. Luckily for her, management liked it and 'All Red Everything' became her catchphrase.

Becky Lynch was blonde when she was signed to WWE. Shortly before she debuted on live events, she dyed her hair red to fit the Oireland character they wanted for her.

300: the actors look like they're capable of incredible feats of strength and endurance. They were trained by a mountaineer named Mark Twight not just to look like that, but to be like that. They weren't just playing humans honed to Batman-like levels of physical might; they actually were humans honed to Batman-like levels of physical might. However, this came at a major price. Gerard Butler has since revealed that he developed a major painkiller addiction in order to tolerate the sheer amount of strain this put on his body.

For Rambo: First Blood Part II, he trained for eight months prior to the film's start date in late 1984, but he maintained a strict regimen during shooting as well. He would begin with a two- to three-hour morning workout, then he'd move on to the 10- to 12-hour shooting day on the movie. After that, instead of going home like the rest of the cast and crew, he'd cap off the day with another two- to three-hour workout. After six hours of sleep or so he'd be up and ready to do it all again.

Aksana was blonde when she first arrived in WWE. Management abruptly decided to change her character from a Dumb Blonde Funny Foreigner to a Femme Fatale. She had to dye her hair black for this. The character was actually the idea of fellow Diva Maxine, who also had to do this to distinguish her from Aksana's new look - she dyed her black hair blonde. She later went red and then eventually back to black.

For the X-Men Film Series, Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber, and Ryan Reynolds worked out to get ripped bodies, and Famke Janssen dyed her hair red.
Many characters forced their portrayers to endure long and complicated make-up sessions, such as Mystique (Rebecca Romijn even had yellow lenses in X-Men, and Jennifer Lawrence had to reduce her make-up to just the head as she injured her body removing the prosthetics in X-Men: First Class), Nightcrawler (enough for Alan Cumming to pass on returning; Kodi Smit-McPhee even had to wear a tail), Beast (both Kelsey Grammer - who still liked the character enough to return in X-Men: Days of Future Past - and Nicholas Hoult), Azazel (a third prosthetics-heavy role for Jason Flemyng) and Juggernaut (Vinnie Jones in a muscle suit). To play the title villain of X-Men: Apocalypse, Oscar Isaac had to wear a lot of make-up and a heavy costume, which the humid Montreal weather made even more unbearable.
In X-Men: The Last Stand, Cameron Bright had to shave his hair daily, and pass makeup on the scalp, as Leech had to look more like a chemotherapy survivor than a shaven kid.
For The Wolverine, Hugh Jackman regained a ton of muscle after losing weight for Les Miserables.
Jackman has declared this when he was warned about another X-Men during the shoot of The Wolverine:

Serena Deeb had her head shaved bald on her Smackdown debut when she joined CM Punk and his Straight Edge Society. Reportedly, producers had gone around asking all the developmental Divas and Serena was the only one willing to have her head shaved. Punk himself later followed through on this and had his head shaved as a result of losing a match. Adding to the effect was the fact that the shaving had to happen while he had staples in his head from a cut during the match.

Iron Man:
Robert Downey Jr. did some pretty hefty physical training to bulk up for playing Tony Stark in the first one. In an interview, he said his logic was something along the lines of "I'm not going to be able to do this for too much longer, so I might as well while I can".
Scarlett Johansson dyed her hair red as Black Widow (which also saw the return of another blonde dyeing her hair, Gwyneth Paltrow) for the sequel. In The Avengers she not only kept the red but also cut her hair short, but then wore a wig from Captain America: The Winter Soldier on. The only other time Natasha had Scarlett's actual hair since was Avengers: Infinity War.

Jennifer Ehle cut her hair short for the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice, to help it fit under the wig better.

Pauley Perrette got a number of her NCIS character Abby Sciuto's tattoos done for real (but not all of them).
She already had a lot of tattoos. The spiderweb is not real, although she hates it with a passion because of how sticky it gets.
Her hair has also been dyed from her natural blonde to the more well-known black - for the past seven years. In 2014 she developed an allergy to the dye that was so severe that doctors told her if she kept dying her hair it would kill her.

The Wizard of Oz had Dorothy's three companions and the Wicked Witch of the West going through long and cumbersome make-up, which in the latter's case also caused severe burns in the scene where the Witch does a Smoke Out. The costumes were also problematic - the Tin Man couldn't sit, only lean; the Cowardly Lion sweated profusely under the heavy studio lighting; and Dorothy had to tie up her breasts to still look like a pre-teen and only wore the ruby slippers when they were on-screen given the shoes wound up very uncomfortable.

Averted in Once Upon a Time in the West. Henry Fonda, Playing Against Type as Frank, initially wanted to drastically change his usual appearance by growing a beard and wearing brown contacts. Sergio Leone told him not to do it, as the shock of seeing Fonda as such a character was exactly why he hired him, and it would work best if he looked like he usually did.

DC Extended Universe:
As soon as they joined, Ezra Miller bulked up considerably, as well as cut their signature long black hair short to play Barry Allen.
Suicide Squad (2016) had plenty of it. Besides the above mentioned Jared Leto, Will Smith shaved his hair and trained with firearms; Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje went through a five hour make-up process; and the most complicated, Margot Robbie had to practice gymnastics and shooting firearms (and acknowledged she "didn't have the physical strength to allow myself to do those things, even the gun training."), endured a three hour make-up process that made her skin white and covered in tattoos, and an impractical Stripperiffic outfit with stiletto gym shoes.

Kinski shaved his head to play Dracula in Nosferatu. When he reprised the role (sort of) in Vampire in Venice he refused to shave his head again. In Woyzeck Kinski has the buzzcut one would expect a soldier to have, appearing to be this trope, but in actuality, the movie was filmed only five days after Nosferatu wrapped and that was all the hair he could grow in the five days.

Star Trek: The Original Series: Walter Koenig had to grow his hair out to play Chekov, as the creators wanted the character to have a Monkee-like hairstyle due to the band's popularity at the time. (Notably, his first episode, "Catspaw", was shot before his hair had reached the desired length, so he had to wear an extremely obvious wig.)

Les Misérables (2012):
Anne Hathaway lost a significant amount of weight to play Fantine. She also did Fantine's Traumatic Haircut for real, on camera (as a result she has short hair in Interstellar which she filmed after). She refuses to say precisely what she did to lose weight because she knows it wasn't safe and she didn't want to risk fans emulating her methods.
Hugh Jackman also lost weight, grew a beard, and went 36 hours without water for the opening scenes, after Valjean left prison. He then gained weight for the later scenes... and after filming wrapped had to bulk up to a return to his trademark role.

Kyoko dyed her hair back to black when she figured out how she wanted to portray Mio in Dark Moon, instead of using a wig.
Several actresses dye their hair black when audition for roles in the historical drama The Lotus in the Mire. It's specifically mentioned that the producer of the drama puts a lot of emphasis on historical accuracy, which means black hair on Japanese women. Kyoko actually wonders if she should have dyed her hair black prior to the audition.

Game of Thrones:
While most of the actresses wore wigs when their natural hair didn't match the character's, natural blonde Sophie Turner dyed her hair red to play Sansa Stark. There came a time in the show when Sansa had to disguise herself by dyeing her hair black, meaning Turner was a blonde playing a redhead pretending to be a brunette. She also wasn't allowed to wash her hair during this period, to add a touch of realism to her character being on the lam. Eventually she grew tired of keeping with the dye and wore a wig like the others.
Although Emilia Clarke wore a wig for the first seven seasons to play Daenerys, she dyed her hair platinum blonde for the final season.
Conleth Hill shaved his head every year to play Varys, and was pleased that fans didn't recognise him with his hair, allowing him some anonymity.
Peter Dinklage and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau are natural brunets but initially bleached their hair blond to play Tyrion and Jaime Lannister. Both however stopped dyeing because of the hassle. The latter also grew his hair and beard for Seasons 2 and 3, and then cut it short for Season 4.
Kit Harington was also contractually obligated to keep his hair long for the role of Jon Snow, not cutting it short until the final season had wrapped.
Maisie Williams learned to swordfight with her left hand, despite being right-handed herself, in order to properly portray Arya Stark. She also cut her hair short for the second season.

AJ Cook dyed her hair brown before playing Kimberly Corman in Final Destination 2, so that the audience would not confuse her with Ali Larter, who played Clear Rivers in both the original film and this sequel. Ironically, while this made it easy for audiences to distinguish Cook and Larter's characters, some of Cook's own fans had difficulty recognizing her as a brunette because they were so used to seeing her as a blond. And hilariously enough Ali Larter had sported brown hair as Clear in the first film.

And more hilariously, Welles himself lost weight to play Falstaff in Chimes at Midnight. That's right. Orson Welles was SO OVERWEIGHT that he had to slim down to play freakin' Falstaff! if only for the simple practical reasons of having a consistent shape and fat-suit to allow for camera angles. Welles was in fact fiercely disciplined in terms of controlling his weight when needed.

An even more suffering invisible man was in Hollow Man, which Kevin Bacon considered his hardest work given all the uncomfortable suits and make-up (which at times extended to lenses and dentures!) he wore so the effects team could erase him.

Good Omens (2019): Michael Sheen bleached his hair white-blonde to play Aziraphale while David Tennant dyed his red to play Crowley. The different hairstyles Crowley has during flashbacks are wigs but all present-day scenes are Tennant's own dyed hair. For the second season Sheen also had to shave off the beard he'd grown during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The producers of Speed demanded he have a more respectable haircut (he had long hair), but balked when he showed up with a buzzcut, trying to insist he wear a wig for the film. The director vetoed.

It took 36 hours for Nikki Reed (a natural brunette) to bleach her hair blonde to play Rosalie in Twilight. As a result, she wore wigs for the remaining films. Ashley Greene wore wigs for the first two films to play Alice but cut her hair short (firstly in New Moon to help it fit under the wig better) for the remaining films.

For Hellboy (2019), David Harbour, who'd never worked out before, did extensive training to get into shape to play Hellboy. He also created his own makeshift costume out of sports equipment so he'd be ready to better handle the extensive make-up and prosthetics he'd have to wear.

Suicide Squad (2016) had plenty of it. Besides the above mentioned Jared Leto, Will Smith shaved his hair and trained with firearms; Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje went through a five hour make-up process; and the most complicated, Margot Robbie had to practice gymnastics and shooting firearms (and acknowledged she "didn't have the physical strength to allow myself to do those things, even the gun training."), endured a three hour make-up process that made her skin white and covered in tattoos, and an impractical Stripperiffic outfit with stiletto gym shoes.

Doctor Who:
Nicholas Courtney's Brigadier moustache was fake at first, but after his first couple of seasons, he decided to just grow it for real.
The Fourth Doctor's sideburns. They started out as the normal sideburns everyone had in the 1970s, but when the costume designers decided the character should take on a Byronic appearance, they were grown out into long Victorian muttonchops which very few people had in the 1970s.
Louise Jameson wore brown contacts during her first season of playing Leela. At the end of "Horror of Fang Rock", the first story of her second season, an in-show reason was given to have her eyes change from brown to blue (her natural colour).
Tom Baker's Doctor went a bit blond in the 1980s, though this was to disguise his grey hairs. He went from dark brown to golden brown.
Peter Davison had his hair highlighted to play the title role. This is particularly noticeable as it is considerably darker during his brief appearance at the end of "Logopolis" than it is in "Castrovalva", despite the fact that the latter is supposed to follow on immediately after the former.
Mark Strickson, when playing Vislor Turlough, was required to dye his blond hair red. This was to avoid him being confused with the blond Peter Davison in long shots. This was a particular worry of the producer's, who also feared the audience would confuse Tegan (a twenty-something woman who normally wore a lilac air hostess uniform) and Adric (a teenage boy usually to be seen in a yellow and red pyjama-like costume). Well, they do both have brown hair.
They must have loved this trope in The '80s: naturally auburn Colin Baker was blonded up, too. He actually gets slowly blonder and blonder during his run, with big jumps in colour between stories which happen immediately after each other, which again makes it very noticeable. At least it would fit the vain personality of the Sixth Doctor to bleach his hair — in the game The Eternity Clock, River Song suggests that he does.
Honorable mention: When he auditioned, Paul McGann had a similar hairstyle to the one he has as the Eighth Doctor, but then he decided to shave his head. They made him wear a wig (which he absolutely hated) to get back the long curls, which had to be glued to his head, and his scalp had a reaction to the glue so his skin started flaking off. It's not an intentional example, but still, the poor guy's skin started coming off. It counts.note Amusingly, for nearly three weeks, Eric Roberts didn't recognize him when he took his wig off.
And a Doctor from blond to dark — Christopher Eccleston's hair colour is naturally a blondish light brown, but he dyed it black to play the Doctor.
John Simm grew a Beard of Evil for the return of his Master in "World Enough and Time"/"The Doctor Falls". Notably, he wasn't asked to; he just turned up for rehearsals with it, and Steven Moffat agreed it worked.
Jodie Whittaker is naturally brunette but goes blonde as the Thirteenth Doctor. Unfortunately, she still has visible dark roots, resulting in an Improbable Hairstyle.

Kurt Angle, after losing a Hair-vs-Hair match, wore a (bad) toupee for a while. In true heel fashion, he would freak out when someone pointed out it was a toupee. Once the toupee comedy ran its course, he debuted his bald look by whipping the toupee off and smiling until the fans quit heckling him. Like Jon Cryer above, Angle went through with the idea because he was losing his hair anyway.

Tricia Helfer dyed her dirty blond-brown hair platinum to play Six on the reimagined Battlestar Galactica, but she switched to a wig a few episodes into the first season because the bleach was causing hair issues (namely, falling out in chunks), which explains how she was able to be both natural haired Gina and platinum Six.
In the same series, Edward James Olmos wore blue contact lenses and Jamie Bamber dyed his dark blond hair brown so that they would look more like father and son. For the first post-miniseries episode "33", Olmos consulted with a sleep deprivation expert and reduced his sleeping hours so he could report the effects to the rest of the cast.
Jamie Bamber dyes his hair brown for many of his roles.
Katee Sackhoff grew her hair out between the second and third seasons. She did Starbuck's Important Haircut for real and on camera.
Several of the male cast grew beards during the same gap between seasons to reflect the conditions on New Caprica and the Cylon Occupation.

Choi Min-Sik, as the protagonist Oh Dae-Su in Oldboy (2003), gained and lost considerable amounts of weight (repeatedly) to simulate a man being held in captivity for 15 years. Oh Dae-Su also kept track of how many years he had been confined by literally tattooing tally marks onto his arm. Unable to pull off the special effects required to depict this, Choi actually applied some of the tattoos for real on camera... using a piece of hot wire.

Once Upon a Time:
A marginal example with series lead Jennifer Morrison. She is actually a natural blonde but had been dyeing her hair brown for House. She went back blonde to play Emma Swan. Midway through filming Season 6 she opted to cut her hair to shoulder length, and just wore hair pieces for the remaining episodes.
Emilie de Ravin initially just wore a wig to play Belle in Season 1. When she was bumped up to series regular in Season 2, she dyed her hair brown. Notably, in the season premiere, which picks up directly from the finale, her hair is a couple of shades darker. When she became pregnant in Season 5, she reverted to her natural blonde and just wore wigs again.

He also describes the process of getting ready for Magic Mike as a lot of working out and "not eating anything good for three months straight". He and the rest of the actors playing strippers would have to lift weights between takes to maintain their physiques.

Nicholas Brendon put on a noticeable amount of weight in the later seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer because the producers apparently asked him to stop working out, having been too fit to play a nerd in the first few seasons. James Marsters also let himself go a little in the last season because he was tired of doing so many nude scenes when he was much leaner.

Kevin Tighe, naturally auburn-haired, bleached his hair for earlier Emergency! seasons, to a lighter blonde with more red. It returned to its natural darker color later on. Randolph Mantooth and Tim Donnely had to cut their hair to meet fire dept. standards. Randy always favored longer hair back then and kept pushing things during the series. Gage being told to get a haircut was put into an inspection scene. Donnelly favored his bushy, curly hair and Porn Stache and had them back by series end.

For X-Men: Apocalypse, he shaved his head, unlike previous installments, to portray the trademark bald of Professor Charles Xavier. He had actually shaved his head for First Class, expecting that Charles would be bald. He was then informed that they wanted Charles to have hair to convey his youth — and he had to wear extensions.

Divergent:
For Divergent, Shailene Woodley had her dark brown hair lightened to blonde. She later went blonde again for Adrift (2018).
In a rare case of another film affecting this one, Woodley had to cut her hair short for The Fault in Our Stars and didn't have time to grow it again for The Divergent Series: Insurgent. As Tris gets an Important Haircut in Insurgent, she opted to cut her hair into a pixie rather than wear a wig to match the book (where the haircut is only to chin-length). By The Divergent Series: Allegiant, the hair matches the books.

The reason Richard Moll (who played Bull Shanon on Night Court) usually shaves his head dates back to early in his career when he played roles in low-budget horror movies. In one such film, where he played a bald, one-eyed mutant, he decided to shave his head rather than pressure the props department for a bald wig; he later thought he looked better bald and has seldom let it grow back. (Though he commented that one reason he took a guest role on Highlander shortly after the end of Night Court was because it let him sport a full head of hair and a beard.}
