The secret behind Sarah Palin's fancy debate hair

Now we know where we saw Sarah Palin's debate hair-do before: The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills!

The Ups and Downs of Sarah Palin's Hair

(click thumbnails to view gallery)

  • Palin Full Tossled
  • Palin's Half Hive
  • Palin Letting Her Beehive Down
  • Another Version of the Palin Half Hive
  • Palin Up All The Way High





W Magazine revealed that Angela from The Hair Grove, in chi chi West Lake Village, outside of LA, is the hair genius responsible for arranging Sarah's artfullly-casual-yet-sprayed-within-an-inch-of-its-life elaborate JBF french braid.

It's such an interesting style choice: big wedding hair for an important presentation at the office. Add a couple of sprigs of baby's breath and she can wear this to Bristol's wedding!

Crisp featured Cindy McCain is also a fan of The Hair Grove. The Yelp! reviews say the salon does good color, is a bit pricey, and the girls have a heavy hand with the hairspray, which is totally what we would have guessed.

Following up on the tip from W, we called The Hair Grove (such a folksy name! Sarah musta felt right at home!) to ask a couple of "Get The Look" questions.

Sadly, we can't get into Angela's chair until November, because she's traveling with Sarah. However, there are other stylists at The Hair Grove, who can fit us in sooner.

A basic up do starts at $80, and can take an hour, to an hour and a half. Copying Sarah's cinnamon highlights will start at $95, depending on how many foils the stylist sticks in your hair. That's not so expensive! Even with travel expenses, we think Sarah's beauty regime sound cheaper than John McCain's make up habit!

When we asked if the receptionist at The Hair Grove if they're voting for Sarah, she just laughed and said "Yeah, we have some stylists working with them."

We're not sure who else is on the road with Sarah, but the salon also does waxing, so pehaps Sarah brought someone along to take care of nether-scaping. That Todd Palin always looks pretty happy!

Ty for posting this rolo. This is the REAL McCain. It's all there right out of McCain's mouth - No one can say it's a lie. Anyone interested in the truth about McCain needs to see this.

Sorry, I dont take political advice or direction from someone who immatureely takes up half of the comments page with the same line typed 50 times. Looks more like one of the vietnam veterans that dropped a tad bit too much acid but blames his incoherent mind on PTS caused in combat.

All during the VP debates, Sarah's long bangs kept getting in her eyes and in the way of her "cutsie" winks! Perhaps she needed more hairspray!

You know -- there's medication to help with that s-s-s-s-s-s-s-stuttering p-p-p-p-problem. I don't know what kind of Viet Nam Vet YOU are, but the ones I know (REAL ones!) are FOR McCain and can't even understand what Obama is doing running for an office he doesn't even remotely understand. This is too serious an issue to PLAY "I am not a racist" games over --PROVE that you've truly evolved the race and gender issue and VOTE for the candidate who can lead America -- not just because he -or she- is the "politically correct color or sex." Obama is just a Cardboard Candidate. America can't afford the mistake of electing Obama. USE YOUR BRAIN - VOTE FOR McCAIN!

You hypocrites are so biased and so wrong. You print all this filthy smut about a decent human being because your candidate, Hussein Obama, the criminal terrorist, is so unqualified. Its sad that your candidate is so weak and inexperienced that you are forced to lie about the opposition.
You never mention Obama's criminal, terrorist friends, William Ayers, Louis Farrakhan, Rezko and the potentate of racists, Jeremiah Wright.
I would like one question answered. Obama wants sex education,masturbation, and homosexuality taught to five year old children. How will this be taught? The most effective method of teaching five year olds, is show and tell. Will two teachers have sex with each other to demonstrate how it is done or will they have two five year old children have sex with each other? Who will teach them how to masturbate; some democratic pedophiles from San Francisco or maybe Barney Franks would be a excellent choice to teach them both homosexuality and masturbation? Then we need someone to instruct them regarding sodomy. Can't think of a better choice than Barney or some other homo's from good old San Francisco.
Five year old children should be playing with toys, not with each others genitals.

I can't believe a woman gushing over another womans clothing for God's sake! This is about a serious subject like people's lives! This is a life and death decision each of us has. You like her clothing. You are a dip! She wears fox fur too. You want that. Go out and kill one and wrap it around you. I thought she got her hairstyle from Amy Whinehouse. This is the exact type of woman..women I can't stand! Watching the RNC and looking at the clothing. Hell, I shop at Nordstroms, Saks, Bloomingdales yet I fricking can't remember what she wore. It matters what they will do for this COUNTRY! Please!

Gee, I don't know, why DOESN'T she wear a wedding ring? What a thought-provoking question.

Next month is my 30th wedding anniversary and neither my husband nor I wear rings. Does that make us NOT married? Or are we secure enough in each other to NOT have to be a slave to societial rituals?

Sarah Palin should step down and focus more on her baby then this country he needs his mother very close to him. Being VP takes up a lot of family time
