The questions began Wednesday, when political reporter Matt Drudge posted a series of tweets claiming Clinton’s hair is fake. But Nikkels put that rumor to bed. _People_ asked her directly if Clinton wears a wig, and she replied, “Not at all.” \[[_People_](http://www.people.com/people/mobile/article/0,,20966107,00.html "undefined")\] Hillary Clinton's Hairdresser Says Clinton's Hair is Real ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4109964/hillary-clinton-hair-wig/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4109964/hillary-clinton-hair-wig/"},"headline":"Hillary Clinton's Hairdresser Says Clinton's Hair is Real","datePublished":"2015-11-12T15:26:36.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T12:33:41.396Z","description":"\"She has the most amazing hair in the world\"","url":"https://time.com/4109964/hillary-clinton-hair-wig/","keywords":["Hillary Clinton","2016 Election topic"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt67b5fc8b41a7142a/698870b73c1639126045aaa7/gettyimages-473979902.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Tessa Berenson","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/tessa-berenson/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt67b5fc8b41a7142a/698870b73c1639126045aaa7/gettyimages-473979902.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Hillary Clinton Campigns In Iowa, Meeting With Small Business Owners","caption":"Hillary Clinton hosts a small business forum with members of the business and lending communities at Bike Tech bicycle shop in Cedar Falls, Iowa on May 19, 2015.","creditText":"Scott Olson—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4109964/hillary-clinton-hair-wig/","name":"Hillary Clinton's Hairdresser Says Clinton's Hair is Real"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Hillary Clinton's Top 10 Political Moments","description":"Watch the top 10 moments from Hillary Clinton's career in politics.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/L3I0gpwt/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-04-09T19:18:36.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/L3I0gpwt.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4109964/hillary-clinton-hair-wig/","duration":"PT1M49S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4109964/hillary-clinton-hair-wig/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
