There’s no way you can escape the hype of this years’ #1 Hollywood blockbuster movie ‘Dreamgirls’. Shouts go out to Crunk & Disorderly for the pics. For the writers of the Wig Owners > Wig Brushers features here on this site the movie is like a coup for overall wig recognition. The wigs in Dreamgirls were so plentiful that even EDDIE MURPHY and JAMIE FOXX had to have some brushers on staff.
There was a rumored factoid that the stylists from the movie used more than 600 wigs in the course of filming the movie. There was a whole lot of brushing going on in Hollywood, but it’s not like La La land hasn’t brushed some wigs in it’s history. As a matter of fact, there have been way more talented wigs on the silver screen than the yakky lace fronts worn by BeYONCE, JENNIFER ‘Young Jesus’ HUDSON and that other little Black girl.
Before this ‘Dreamgirls’ movie and it’s countless premiere screenings there was a group of women who built the foundation that all of the half-baked, made-for-video, pop music prostitutes starlets stand atop. The Supremes were a trailblazing singing group that changed wigs with every costume.

THE SUPREMES Before TLC, X-SCAPE, SWV, SALT-N-PEPA, DESTINY’s CHILD and all those other pop music threesomes were these young wig wearers. DIANA ROSS would eventually start owning her wigs and making the rest of the Supremes as irrelevant as Nappy Diatribe, Bomani Jones and The Assimilated Negro. |
DIANA ROSS a/k/a ‘The Boss’
BeYONCE doesn’t have the singing talent or acting ability that Mrs. ROSS holds, but BeYONCE is a thirty-two year old woman desperate for superstardom and eternal fame. You can’t put a price on that.

DIANA ROSS This is the epitome for Hollywood Wig Owners. Her wigs were made from the hair of tortured Vietnamese girls. What do you think the Vietnam War was about? American woman in the suburbs and the cities wanted Viet Cong lace fronts NOW! |
 |
CHER Another triple threat talent that brought technological advances into the wig wearing arena. Too bad her longtime Wig Brusher SONNY BONO had to be killed by that tree. |
CHER
CHER went through more wigs in a thirty minute television variety show than most Wig Brushers get to style in a lifetime. KELLY ROWLAND, can you hear us?!?! Get your wig brushing weight up!

TINA TURNER IKE TURNER got tired of brushing Auntie Entity’s wigs and the only question you need to ask is, “Where the eff is he now?” |
 |
DOLLY PARTON Respect this golden blonde Wig Owner and her O.G. triple D’s. She took the best little whorehouse in Texas and made it her 9-2-5. What a way to make a living. |
 |
LORETTA LYNN L.L. brushed DOLLY’s wigs for so many years that she just received a Grammy award for it. And here it was I thought that received the Grammy because she was a grandma. Time for a new G.I.L.F. list, eh? |

WIGNEY HOUSTON The preacher’s wife doesn’t need a bodyguard to get her Wig Owning game back on track, she just needs someone to hide all of her crackpipes. |
So could this movie be called, Wig Owning: The Blueprint?
my girl camille did the hair for this flick, betcha she get’s an oscar her wigs are unbeweavable…literally!
lace fronts rock. i’m a little put out that hudson’s wig didn’t seem to get the same treatment as beyonce’s in that first pic, but meh. she can still outsing and out act beyonce’s old ass. (grins) i just amused myself. HOORAY!
You forgot to add the Wig dressers..perfect assistants for the brushers, imo.
Great poast.
32 get real…..beyonce is not 32…Star search was my show and I remember when she was on there….and she wasn’t 16 or 17, she was about 11. I know how old I was when she was on that show and if you subtract my age now from then. She is 25.
As far as the voices go…..Dianna Ross voice was always weak. Flo had the strong voice and was the leader of the group (just like effie). Then the sleeping with Mr. Gordy came into play (you guys are too young to remember this). Ms. Beyonce has a strong voice, her acting could use some work, but I see how she does in dream girls. being that she used an acting coach.
I love your wp theme, where do you download it from?
