Most of us have elaborate plans as to what we’d do if we ever came into a million dollars. Probably for most people, those plans wouldn’t involve buying $1 million worth of wigs. But Beyonce isn’t “most people.” Sure, she’s far from the only celeb to have been known to wear a wig or two - Paris Hilton, Britney Spears, Michael Jackson and even John Travolta all have them.

But there’s little doubt that Beyonce takes the prize for having the most, and likely the most expensive ones. When you’re reticent to let thinning shears slice and dice your hair, wigs CAN be a good option – especially when you have as many costume changes as the singer.

A source close to the star told In Touch Weekly, “Beyonce’s wigs are worth a fortune. The majority of them are custom-made from real hair and she’s probably got $1 million worth of stunning wigs.”

Whatever the reason she would give for owning that many wigs, it’s still kind of creepy to think about – and apparently, she houses the wigs in a climate-controlled closet with several hairpieces cashing out at $10,000.

The good news is, Beyonce donates many of her castoffs to a charity which supplies wigs to women going through chemotherapy.

Thinning shears, chunking shears, razors, left-handed scissors they’ll all be at work – well, the stylists who wield them will all be working, unpaid for a day to help the organization Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

The staff of a salon in Wales is taking an unpaid day to contribute to the organization and calling for locals to pitch in and help, like many other salons and stylists who have stepped up to help causes of their own.

Patrons will be able to choose from a standard cut and blow dry through to coloring, reflexology, full body massage or Indian head massage, and there will also be quizzes and a raffle. Prices of the services will be donated to the organization.

 A local restaurant owner will even be making a special dish of pink pasta and sauce, in keeping with the pink theme.
