The mother, who documented her postpartum journey online, has left many amazed by her stunning hair, leading some to accuse her of wearing a wig and pretending it’s her own.
The naturally red-headed influencer often shares hair tutorials, "get ready with me" videos, and lifestyle content.
In one video, she demonstrated her hair's authenticity by turning to each side and pulling her beautiful locks to showcase their realness.
She possesses rows of dreamy strawberry blonde waves that appear as if they belong in a Pantene commercial.
However, after receiving backlash, she responded to claims that she wears a wig.
In response to one comment asking, “How is this not a wig?”, Tonya replied, “Could a wig do this? I don’t know, maybe it could haha.”
“It is a wig,” insisted one commenter on the video, which has received over five million views.
“I didn’t think it was a wig until this video,” stated another skeptical viewer. “It’s just a really full hairline,” commented someone else.
“I know it’s a wig, but I just can’t prove it,” said another disbeliever.
However, a few days later, Tonya released a follow-up video, which has garnered over six million views, attempting to further demonstrate that her hair is real.
“Day 10 of me trying to prove to the internet my hair isn’t a wig,” Tonya stated.
She positioned the roots of her hair towards the camera and peeled back each section to highlight its quality.
“Guys, I didn’t anticipate spending my life proving I don’t wear a wig, but here we are,” she added.
One impressed viewer remarked, “You just have the most perfect hairline ever! Also wish I had this problem.”
“It doesn’t look like a wig to me; just lovely thick hair and a full hairline,” another commenter noted.
Someone who could relate mentioned, “Thick hair girls’ problems. I’ve had to have mine thinned out so much because it hurts. It’s so heavy, but when I don’t, people think it’s a wig.”
Tonya now humorously refers to her thick hair as ‘her wig’ following the comments.
She has even gone so far as to share childhood photos of her hair to prove its authenticity.
Common Mistakes That Are Damaging Your Healthy Hair
Haircare experts at Tangle Teezer shared their insights.
Incorrect Brushing
Regularly brushing your hair is one of the simplest yet most effective ways to maintain its health and appearance. However, mechanical damage from your hairbrush and improper brushing techniques may be causing more harm than good.
To prevent excessive pulling and breakage, it’s best to start brushing from the ends and work your way up to the roots. Additionally, choose a brush that is gentle on hair but effective at detangling.
Using the Wrong Hairbrush for Your Hair Type
