Tributes pour in for Dolly Parton
Grief over the country music legend's death has momentarily united a divided America
Dolly Parton's iconic look, complete with her signature wig and makeup, has been a defining feature of her public persona for decades. As the country singer passed away at the age of 80, fans and followers were left wondering if she had ever been photographed without these elements. Despite her love for wigs, Parton had always been candid about her decision to wear them after her hair was bleached and began to break off.
In a 2016 interview, she stated that wearing wigs allowed her to avoid bad hair days. However, her natural, sandy blonde hair was evident in many photographs from her younger years. Parton was notably sensitive about her wig and makeup, once joking that she wouldn't leave her house without them unless her husband was facing a medical emergency.
At home, she admitted to not wearing the wig and often sporting her bleached hair in a simpler style.
