“No longer a fad or high fashion fantasy for the privileged few, the wig and the hairpiece are here to stay,” wrote Dorothea Zack Hanle in the 1964 publication Hairdo Handbook. Wig salons appeared across the nation in the 1960s. Wigs and hair pieces, often made from real human hair, allowed women to create a temporary new look—instantly changing their hair color and style. Products, such as the Eva Gabor synthetic wig spray, were created to cater to this trend.
