She’s always wearing a flamboyant, large wig and never her natural hair. If you’ve been wondering what color it is, Dolly Parton’s real hair is sandy blonde. You probably imagined her in such hair color because of her high blonde wigs. She’d have wanted it brighter and yellow; hence, she tried hair bleaching when she was younger.
Her love for wigs is on another level. It’s one hair accessory associated with this icon’s image throughout her music career. Dolly Parton prefers wigs because they offer more creativity than her natural hair. Therefore, she has enough wigs to wear a new one daily. On top of that, she admits that she either wear a wig or do an upsweep of her hair. You can read the rest of the interview with Andy and Maura.

However, that picture was black and white, so we can’t tell her hair color. In it, her hair is mid-length, swept to the side and back, letting us see her beautiful face. It’s the same picture in her book, Dolly Parton, Songteller: My Life in Lyrics.
She’s not the only celebrity who’s served us countless hair colors and styles that we are curious about her natural tresses. Jennifer Aniston’s natural hair color is almost a mystery.
Conclusion
Did Dolly Parton always have blonde hair?
Yes, she’s a natural blonde. However, her hair is sandy blonde. According to her, it’s not radiant blonde. Plus, she wanted a high, large hairstyle, and wigs give her that look. This short video is an excerpt from her 1987 variety show, Dolly. The show would start with Dolly in a bathtub talking to the audience.
