Keira Knightley clearly had no idea what she was getting into when she dished about wearing wigs to keep her hair from getting damaged during filming.

The 31-year-old actress revealed that she started to receive products for female-pattern baldness after she told InStyle UK in August that she has been wearing wigs for the past five years because her hair was starting to fall out from coloring it too much.

And while mother-of-one simply meant that she was wearing wigs on set, some outlets reported that she relied on them in her everyday life, prompting her to receive what she told New York Magazine was a 'big box of things for female baldness'.

Huh? Keira Knightley admitted that she was confused when people started sending her products for female-pattern baldness after she revealed that she wore wigs

Clearing it up: The 31-year-old, who is pictured in her film The Duchess, explained that she only wears wigs on set after a recent interview led people to think she relied on them daily

Keira, who doesn't have any personal social media accounts, admitted she had 'no idea what that was about'.

When New York magazine writer Katie Van Syckle reminded Keira during her interview that she recently discussed wearing wigs with InStyle UK, she reiterated: 'For films. I do wear wigs for films.'

Keira went on to thank the writer for clearing up the confusion for her.

'I can’t tell you how many boxes of hair loss stuff — and there are many on the market — I have at home,' she said. 'And I was like, Wait, does someone know something that I don’t? Am I like bald? Thanks for clearing that up. I was so confused!'

Misconstrued: Keira had said that she started wearing wigs five years ago because the constant dying and styling was causing her hair to fall out. She is pictured in Anna Karenina

Perfect pair: Keira showed off her long, chestnut-colored locks while posing on the red carpet with her husband James Righton earlier this month at the Chanel's Fine Jewelry Dinner

However, Keira did credit wigs for saving her hair while filming because 'it does tend to fall out' when it is being done 'everyday' and dyed a 'million different colors'.

The Imitation Game star, who gave birth to her daughter Edie in 2015, noted that her hair is thicker than ever since her pregnancy.

'I have got ten times more of it,' she said.

Ironically, the actress thought her hair was actually going to fall out when she was carrying Edie, and she admitted that she mentally prepared herself for what she would do if that common pregnancy side effect happened to her.

Better than ever! The actress, who gave birth to her daughter Edie in 2015, insists that she has 'ten times' more hair since her pregnancy. She is pictured at the 2015 Academy Awards

Updo: Keira pulled her hair up and showed off her eye-catching dress at the Culture Chanel exhibition held at International Modern Art Gallery Ca Pesaro in Venice on Thursday

'I was sort of thinking, "Okay, I’ll keep it long and when and if it falls out, I’ll cut it off and that will be cool because then I could have a bob,"' she explained. 'I am waiting for that to happen, but fortunately it hasn’t yet.'

Keira, who wearing her chestnut-colored hair past her shoulders these days, even told the writer that she can 'give it a tug' if she wanted, while offering her stock of hair loss products to anyone who needs them.

And while she has been wearing her hair in loose waves as of late, Keir opted to pull it up and show off the bedazzled collar on her Chanel dress on Thursday.

The mom undoubtedly turned plenty of heads in the eye-catching cream gown that she wore to the Culture Chanel exhibition held at International Modern Art Gallery Ca Pesaro in Venice that day.
