If you’re a fan, you know.Dolly Parton has a wigfor every day of the year.
Or, at least, it’s easy to feel that way.
In 2016, the country goddess toldThe Hallmark Channelwhy.
“I thought, ‘Why not just wear wigs?’
That way I never have a bad hair day.
I have a big hair day, but not a bad hair day,” Parton recounted.
Both in her memoir and on Instagram, Parton’s published photos of one such session.
When she did, she left her followers speechless.
“I keep my hair the same color [as my wigs],” Parton toldThe Hallmark Channel.
“I keep my roots up for my husband.
I don’t want to look good for everybody else and then go home and look terrible.
“Todaypins the photo in question to “around 1965.”
“My hair would never do exactly what I wanted it to do.
So the wigs became kind of my trademark,” Parton wrote.
That may be true.
Her natural hair isn’t poofy or particularly curly, like her signature wigs.
In fact, it’s not big at all.
Instead, Parton’s natural hair gives off a soft, elegant vibe.
“Looks 10 yrs younger without the wig,” wrote one admirer on Instagram.
“Your hair is stunning and you should wear it more,” seconded another.
“Dolly is beautiful just the way she is,” concluded a third.
How Dolly Parton styles her real hair
Every part of Parton’s larger-than-life look is carefully crafted.
“That way I can just pull it up with a little scrunchie,” she shared.
“I started buying peroxide as soon as I could afford it!”
Here, her full hair is pulled up into a simple updo, complete with a pink headband.
