There is no doubt that the 78-year-old singer, known for her decades-long career in the music industry with hits such as ‘Islands in the Stream’ and ‘Jolene,’ is one of the most important artists of our generation.
In addition to her music career, Parton manages the Dollywood theme park and Splash Country Waterpark.
Along with her iconic sequins, sparkles, and bold makeup, the singer of ‘Coats of Many Colors’ is also well known for her iconic sequins.
‘Here You Come Again’ artist reveals in her book ‘Behind the Seams: My Life in Rhinestones’ that she’s always worn makeup to sleep.
She added, “I started sleeping with my makeup on when I moved to LA in the 1980s, partly because of the earthquakes.” Parton said that when getting ready in the morning, she always washes her face. “I do all my beauty work and clean my face in the morning because I wear makeup at night,” she told WSJ Magazine. I have to go out in the middle of the night because I never know if there will be an earthquake, tornado, or storm. Parton is also well-known for her wig and her large, bouncy blond hair.
In the past few years, Dolly Parton has been extremely open about why she wears wigs – having previously joked: “People always ask me how long it takes me to do my hair. There’s no way for me to know since I’m never there.”
Ahead of the publication of her book ‘Behind the Seams: The country music icon discussed her fashion guidelines with Christian Allaire, senior fashion and style editor for Vogue, in her article “My Life in Rhinestones.”
Parton added that she soon understood that bleaching and teasing her hair every day would destroy it and make her look horrible, so she chose to wear wigs. Having a variety of hairstyles to pick from and never having a poor hair day was convenient. She described her transition from natural hair to wigs in her book “Dolly Parton, Songteller: My Life in Lyrics.” She added, “I always wore my hair all teased up” (Cheat Sheet).
When that style started, I was the first to get my hair all poofy. I wanted those hairpieces and wigs as soon as I could afford them.
The first thing I liked about them was that they were so handy. In addition, I couldn’t get my hair to do exactly what I wanted As a result, I became known for my wigs.”
Even though Dolly Parton’s wig is such an iconic part of her look, many fans have been left speechless after seeing the star’s natural hair in an Instagram post she posted earlier this week.
A resurfaced black and white picture of the singer in a recording booth shows her in a classic white sweater, but her hair is the primary focus.
It’s much tamer than usual, and fans love it, with one writing: “Love it, her natural hair is really pretty.”.
Another says: “Wow, Dolly!” Your hair is gorgeous! You’re beautiful!”
“What a beauty, inside and out,” enthuses a third.
