Dolly Parton’s Mic Pack Hack

During an interview with CMT, Dolly shared the innovative way she incorporates her mic pack into her stage look:

“My wig cap has a little pocket on it in the back. Because my clothes are so tight, my mic pack don’t fit nowhere,” she explained. “There’s only room for me in my clothes, and so I have it to where the mic fits in my hair because I wear wigs all the time. And so it goes right over it. We just kind of mic it around, and it works perfect.”

This genius hack keeps her mic pack secure and out of sight, ensuring no wires or bulky equipment disrupt her polished stage presence. It also prevents the common mishap of mic packs falling off during energetic performances—a problem more often seen in pop music than country.

Why Dolly Parton Wears Wigs

Dolly’s love for wigs is well-known. Since the 1960s, wigs have been a cornerstone of her look. In her book, Dolly Parton, Songteller: My Life in Lyrics, she shared why wigs became her go-to solution:

“I always wore my hair all teased up. Whenever that style started, I was the first to get my hair all poofy. Then as soon as I could buy those hairpieces and wigs, I wanted them. For one thing, they were so handy. Plus, my hair would never do exactly what I wanted it to do. So the wigs became kind of my trademark.”

Her wigs don’t just help her achieve her signature voluminous hairstyles—they’re also a practical tool for her performances.
