“I first started wearing wigs when I worked on a TV show with stylist who couldn’t style black hair,” says Shepherd, shown here in a half-up, half-down, wavy style. “My hair is very fine and naturally curly, and every day the stylist would spray product on my hair and curl it…so it started breaking off. I didn’t want to end up bald-headed, so I started wearing wigs!”
We love these rippling waves on Sherri, but she says her favorite wig is her ‘Pocahantas’ look. “I have several ‘Pocahantas’ wigs,” she says. “I like the one I’ve named the ‘Diva,’ too. She rocks my world; she just hasn’t been able to help me get a man. I see a man coming around the corner right now…let me see if the Diva will stop him in his tracks.”
This full, coily wig is the perfect look for a casual weekend lunch with the girls. But according to the comedienne/actress, she likes to flaunt her real hair on off duty days. “When I went to see ‘The Book of Eli’ last weekend, I whipped my wig off at the movies. My friends started laughing, and the people there didn’t believe it was really me without my wig!”
