Photograph caption dated April 14, 1962 reads, "Valley women are following the lead of the international swing to fashion wigs. Nowadays if you want to become a blonde, even your hairdresser doesn't have to know... just your wigmaker. Prices range from $79.50 for imported human hair coifs and they're as easy and comfortable to wear as a new spring chapeau. Here Jack Nesoff, Burbank hair stylist, demonstrates the change wrought in one of his customers... a brunette who wanted to see for herself if blondes really do have more fun!"; See image #00130698 for additional photo in this series.
