So, About The Wigs

If there’s one thing anyone knows about Dolly Parton, it’s her obsession with wigs. Even if you’re not a country fan, you know this to be true. Parton loves having her super blonde and super teased. It’s her trademark. But it’s not all for show, nope. The truth is, Dolly Parton just can’t style her real, natural hair. She told People magazine, “I used to try to keep my own hair teased as big as I like it, and having the bleach and all of that, it just broke off.” Her solution? Fake hair. Go on, Queen.

The Hubby

For 51 years, Dolly Parton has called Carl Thomas Dean her husband. Yes, go ahead and cue the AWWs! 51 years is pretty darn extraordinary and some of us can only be so lucky to share in her good fortune in our own love lives. When Parton and Dean celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, they chose to renew their vows. Parton said of the decision, “We’re really proud of our marriage. It’s the first for both of us. And the last.” Granted, for years there has been so much speculation about this duo having an open marriage and questions about Parton’s fidelity has come up numerous times, but it seems as though these crazy kids are leaving the rumors in the past.
