By now, we’ve probably all seen at least one of the SNL skits riffing on Sarah Palin’s interviews and debate skills. But would you guess wig makers are getting requests for hair that looks like hers? Well, at least one wig maker in NYC.
The ‘Sarah Palin Wig,’ is the latest head covering to go on sale at Sheitel.com, a Brooklyn wig shop and Web site for Orthodox Jewish women must wear wigs, or other head coverings as they maintain modesty by concealing their natural hair. If you don’t need the hair-cutting basics like a salon, scissors, left-handed shears and a good colorist, I guess this could be one alternative!
“One of our stylists thought it would make a good style, so we produced it,” said Boruch Shlanger, one of Sheitel.com’s owners. “It is very easy to maintain, and is a very classic look, yet fashion forward!” (just a thought: aren’t all wigs easy to maintain, theoretically?)
The Sarah wig is composed of 100% human hair, and is selling for $795. The wig is the first of its kind inspired by the Republican ticket – but it is not the only one influenced by a potential American president. ‘There had been requests for Hillary Clinton wigs in the past,’ wrote Shlanger, who temporarily did then produce the wigs.
Sounds funny to us, but I guess it’s the wig equivalent of going to the salon with a picture of your favorite celeb!
