Don’t know how Dolly does it but I suppose she’s had decades to get used to it and must have the best quality wigs imaginable. I too have always thought the fall-back position could be having fun with a wig – Sadly I seem to now get an itchy head whenever I wear my hat so can only imagine what a wig would be like. We’re still dealing with a global pandemic but we’re both more concerned with our gossamer fine hair! I attempted to go for a short bob thinking it would make it look thicker – Big mistake! It’s now just a short thin bob as opposed to an average length thin bob. One girl was a lawyer by day but by night she totally transformed and looked fantastic. Those of us with fine hair really struggled back then – The student boyfriend had some good friends who were in punk bands and if we ever met up with them and their girlfriends, I felt follically embarrassed as they all had spectacular hair. Siouxsie, of course – She did have amazing hair back then. I also thought she must have some really good undergarments as her trousers hung just beautifully with not a VPL in sight! Crikey, was Glastonbury 2014 – I remember it well and was blown away by her.

She would also never, ever be seen without full Dolly hair and make-up – She has an emergency wig and make-up kit in the event of a fire or earthquake apparently. I don’t know if it’s because she was born into a large ‘dirt poor’ family or what, but I’ve never seen Dolly being anything other than a little ray of sunshine – It’s as if she feels she owes it to her fans to always be grateful, upbeat and positive. A Dolly one might be a bit OTT (a bit?!) but I wouldn’t mind a short thick shiny bob. I think I’ll just have to try and draw the focus to other things – clothes, make-up, smile, boots! But have often thought it would be so much fun to wear a wig, just think of all the options and different persona one could try – all the colours too – I wonder if it changes how you feel inside too, like having an alter-ego. And who can forget her fantastic Glastonbury set from 2014?!īig-hair-wise I would of course like to add Siouxsie Sioux circa 1981 with her long, black, back-combed spikes…Īnd, as you know, I share the hair concerns – as if mine wasn’t already fine enough to start with it seems to have turned to gossamer almost overnight! Nobody told us that would happen… and indeed it knocks the confidence. As well as her crystal pure voice she comes across so well in everything I’ve seen or read about her. Lovely post, Alyson and you’re right about Dolly – she definitely brings a smile. Sadly, for mere mortals like us, the big, blousy, blonde wig is a non-starter – There would be ‘looks’ in the supermarket, it would blow off when out on a hill walk and I imagine your cranium would get very hot indeed. Back then, country music and big hair seemed to go hand in hand, and as the genre grew in popularity, we were treated to many other highly coiffed ladies of the country persuasion peppering our charts. Her song Jolene did really well on our Singles Chart reaching the No. The picture above was from that era in the early 1970s when we first got to know about her over here in the UK. At times I just want to shave it all off and go down the Dolly route, and have a big blousy wig cantilevered onto the top of my head – It didn’t take long to find a fair few pictures of her many looks from over the years.

I seem to have fallen into the latter camp and it’s driving me mad. Unbeknownst to me until recently, a woman’s hair changes texture as they age – It can go grey and coarse, or become fine and baby soft. Mr WIAA now has very little hair left on the top of his head at all, but a short crop is perfectly normal for a man of his age and I think it suits him. When your hair is proving troublesome and you can’t do a thing with it, your confidence takes a bit of a hit, and you feel a bit blah. I don’t think this is something my male readership will understand, but my female readership definitely will. Dolly Parton with her signature ‘big hair’ in the 1970s
