During the hiatus before filming 'The Time of the Doctor', Matt Smith starred in Lost River, which required a buzz cut, and him to shave off his iconic quiff.
As it had not grown back in time for his return to the show, he had to wear a wig for his final episode, identical to his normal hairstyle. Steven Moffat had joked that Matt was "under strict instructions to sit down, ball up his fists, and grow a quiff. But he let me down."
Ironically, Karen Gillan, who has a cameo at the end, also had to wear a wig, as she had to shave her own head for Guardians of the Galaxy.
She has often joked of her regret that the two couldn't "swap wigs" during the scene.
