Strange Things Everyone Ignores About Dolly Parton
Known for her over-the-top hair, Dolly Parton has no problem admitting it's mostly not hers. The star once famously quipped, "People always ask me how long it takes to do my hair. I don't know; I'm never there." While wearing wigs is not uncommon, Parton takes it to another level, boasting a collection of hundreds of wigs, each seemingly identical.
In a 2016 interview with Vogue Magazine, she disclosed that she has a dedicated storage space for her wigs, even on her tour bus, though she admitted uncertainty about the exact quantity. When pressed for a number, she quipped, "I have no idea. I can't really count them all," adding with a playful tone, "I always make a joke and say, 'I wear one almost every day, so I must have at least 365!'"
Parton's distinctive image has been a hallmark of her entertainment career, and as she explained in a 2017 conversation with Vogue, it was inspired by a woman from her hometown. "She had those piles of bleached hair, red lipstick, nails, cheeks, and high-heeled shoes." However, Parton quickly realized her natural hair wouldn't survive long with all the bleaching and styling, so she started wearing wigs. "That way, I never had a bad hair day," she noted.
