Turner’s blonde and barbed wigs were an exaggeration of a decade already defined by overthe-top hair, the better to pair with the era’s heavy, sculpted makeup and oversized suiting. “Tina’s hair took the idea and turned it up to 11,” says Gibson. “The fact it’s so removed from traditional ideas of femininity gave it edge and marked Tina out as a true individual who isn’t afraid to challenge stereotypes.” Gibson and Turner also note the movement that the wigs brought to the stage, an amplification of Turner’s own energy and kineticism.
