Callista Gingrich’s Hair Explained [Video]

Posted: January 26, 2012

gingrich

Have you seen Callista Gingich’s hair? There’s something alien about it. Something unexplainable. The platinum blonde helmet has been a frequent topic of conversation and there has been some stellar research on the topic.

According to an article in Slate, the Callista Gingrich hair cut costs about $400. Newt’s third wife gets her hair done at the Andre Chreky salon in D.C. (the New Yorker says she gets it down at the Sugar House in Virginia) for $300. She has her hair done by Andre himself, which costs an extra $90. According to the article this happens about once every six weeks which comes out to a little over $3000 a year.

Newt Gingrich revealed yesterday that he made over $3 million in 2010, so $3000 isn’t too much to spend to make Callista Gingrich look like the alien in Mars Attacks.

So just what does Andre do to achieve the bewildering look? Well, he hasn’t given exact details. (And he may not be the real stylist.)

Gawker talked to Michael Angelo, the owner of Wonderland Beauty Parlor, to see if they could get some insight into Callista Gingrich’s hair. Angelo said:

“I’m thinking it must be set with a curling iron and combed out. There’s no way it’s done with a blow dryer and a round brush. I don’t know how you get that out of a blow dryer alone…”

Angelo said she probably uses some sort of mouse as a foundation and then uses hair spray until it almost kills her. And if someone came into his salon to get the Callista Gingrich hair cut…

 ”Someone who is not a drag queen? Like a real girl? I would have to start with the cut. It has to be short enough layers around the top where you can bulk it up high without having too much weight.”

Several politicians have tried to pull of the hair style of Mrs. Gingrich…

… but Conan O’Brien probably looks the best in his blonde wig.

What do you think of Callista Ginrich’s hair?

  1. she looks better than our "she devil"first lady.

  2. Give the lady a break.

  3. I absolutely HATE her hair. And the thought of having a woman as First Lady who carried on a six-year affair with a married man makes my skin crawl.

  4. She needs to find another hairdresser really quick.

    Looks like pop off Lego hair. She is just scarey.

  10. Look carefully there are a few hairs that are breaking free! OMG!

    As a Salon owner and Hairdresser for over 30 years…….Yuck…..Stepford wives comes to mind.

  12. come on, man, that woman is freaky looking – stepford wife all the way.

  13. WOW what a great concept South Carolina, a first lady who is was a Mistress first and a President that get his money from a Las Vegas Casino or we could elect a man who keep all his monies outside the US so that he didn't have to…what? I am not mentioning any names but You All know what people say about people who have something to hide! US is going to hell in a hand basket, "Lord have Mercy on us all"!

  14. P.S. we all know Newt knows all about the French Connection, OOOH LA LA, hahahaha.

  15. Looks like her hair would crack and shatter if it was touched.

  16. Her hair is almost as scarey as her husband is. OK I see my picture isn't much better but it is 40 years old. :o )

  17. So what! lots of women elect to have shorter hair when older, also if it is partially graying, she is going for the softer lighter color that flatters her face. Her hair isn't a fly around windblown look.

  18. looks like a windup Chatty Cathy doll.

  19. How do you know she would be the 1st First Lady to have been a Mistress first? We don't know who the other first ladies might have been with before the white house.

  20. and Newt had the nerve to tell one wife your not attractive enough to be a first lady the other he told her adios while she was in a hospital bed year President Newt just what we need.

  21. The hair does look alien like god forbid if the wind blows and one hair is out if place Mrs Gingrich would have a diva fit.

  22. I think she and Newt have the same wigman….

    Maybe Andre the salonist can tell us if he curls her landing strip, too.

  24. Just horrifying!

  25. Sure $3000 FOR A HELMET…I guess that's what a BJ is worth to a dispicabe PIG like Ginritch!

  26. I think she needs a new color, a medium blonde, platinum is out, she needs hair that moves, but perhaps she is wearing it as a safety measure, a color that is natural looking. newt is a very smart politician, but certainly has failed as a husband.

  27. She looks like barby and Mitt looks like a Ken doll. They are both pretty scarey.

  28. The EYES scare me a lot more than THE HAIR!

  29. She reminds me a bit of the Flying Nun. That was being nice. Not being nice, she looks like what she is, a chippie.

  30. What a ridiculous and rude article. It's appalling how the dumbocrats can do anything they want, but if we as Republicans do the same, we are lambasted over it! How would you appreciate it if we wrote articles like this about Michele Obama's ugly mouth and orangutan like teeth? Or maybe we should make fun of the fact that Obama is an amateur at best and his he brought the hood to the White House by having IKEA deliver their furnishings……

  31. who cares? I don't care about her hair on Newt Gingrich..

  32. The hair can change, but what do you do about that NOSE?

  33. To the author Dan Evon: You will always work for third rate rag mags like this because you have no talent, no vision and certainly no future in journalism. Idiots like you should be permanently banned from having freedom of speech and more importantly from publishing such rubbish!

    How about some spell check on the article… hair gets 'done'…not 'down'. And – its 'mousse' – not mouse.

  36. At least she doesn't look more like a man than her husband does!

    Its the lady in Mars Attacks! That's where I knew her from! OMG —! This article is funny~!

  38. Her hair is plastic – seems the rest of her is too…

  39. She has beautiful hair and she's a pretty lady. Obama's lack of facial hair makes him look very unmasculine IMHO.

  40. Robin Scott
    Jan 27, 2012

    Is this the best you can do?

  41. I think it's funny that they compare her to the alien from Mars Attacks! There is something…just not human…about the way she looks.

  42. Doesn't she look like that woman Michaele Salahi who crashed the White House party. She reminds me of a party crasher, but a First Lady Crasher, has that been done?
    Calista – really that hair is something.

    Leave her alone. She is a classy lady, very distinguished with a polite smile. She is also accomplished and involved in the arts. No, I am not a Relephant, but I know classy when I see it. Also quit casting stones at her, unless you are free of sin. Repunosos. Concentrate always on not showing your envy and your world will be a better place. Is virginity required to be a first lady, since there is no virgins any more, no more First Ladies – either? Mocosos.

    Michelle Obama could not pull off a stylish hairdo. I have seen hers resembling something in National Geographic.

  45. What does her hair have to do with polotics?

  46. Sorry, should be politics!

  47. its the hair spray an it is some good stuff $400 worth? how greedy that money could feed the hungry and cloth people how sad the situation is that Our God bless the unbelievers as well as believers but these who have the wealth never has a clue.

  48. Sometimes it looks like pee yellow! Too bad she thinks it's so great. Don't run you fingers thru her hair, Newt.

  49. I'm trying to be nice. I have a lot to say but I don't want to get crude which would put me on the same level as these lefties.

    Its hard to believe that this women in 45 years old. I thought she was in her 60s.

  51. Why is this even a topic of discussion? I guess we are all just having fun…that is all this is about…being able to "post" our opinion on something that doesn't even matter! Would we have made fun of Eleanor Roosevelt's looks? We respected the office too much. Should we expect more from our leaders that we are willing to give?

    her hair reminds me of Hermie the Elf from Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer……

  53. That is a really ugly woman.

  54. I agree with you

  55. I have a Barbie doll with the same hair cut. I think this doll was a.
    Barbie stewardess designed over 20 years ago. So now, Calista reminds me.
    of a middle aged Barbie doll.

  56. Maybe he is a great politician and fix the economy. His love life is up to him. And his wife looks beautiful I like her style.
    He seems very inteligent and his speeches are good.
    Like if somebody is going to donate $5.000.000 dollars to him is he were not up to it.
    Make fun of his wife and you may be surprised by other good qualities that she has. People only wants to critizice.
    instead of finding good qualities in other individuals.

    She looks like she's about to snap at any moment. Those are some craaaaazy eyes.

  58. After all I had a friend who wrote an article in the paper looking for a husband, and she received 100 letters, all of them saying, take mine, please. His ex wifes should be thankful. Life goes on. Good wishes to all.

    Helmet Head.

  60. Does not look real to me, looks very fake…..

  61. third lady going for First lady….wow…soften the style and color a bit to be more pleasing to the current trends. Some low-lights, honey blonde…ditch the platnum unless you are Jayne Mansfield or Marilyn Monroe.

  62. If she just affected a sterner look, Ms Gingrich would look just like an American Bald Eagle.

  63. I couldn't comprehend how it never moved. I thought that maybe it was a plastic wig, but no, it must just have two or three cans of hair spray on it. You know, old ladies are particularly fond of Helmet Hair so maybe she is older than she looks. (Don't yell at me for the old ladies comment as I am 67 and can get away with insulting old ladies.)

  64. Its a WIG.

    The hair is awful.

  66. Why do we care?

  67. Jan Blevins

    I think it's a classy look. She would be a great improvement as FLOTUS instead of what we have in there now. At least this one would dress with style and would be proud of her country.

  68. Are you guys serious? What a stupid article. Actual adults making rude remarks about someone's hair? Is this the adult version of schoolyard bullying? It is not your hair and you're not paying for her stylist. Maybe you should get a life and act like adults.

  69. The style is not bad it covers the scars from face lifts and I am sure the wind wouldn't bother it. Who cares how a bimbo wears her hair.

  70. I've been wondering and writing about this on FB. Not one single hair on her strange head has moved in the 8 weeks I've been watching her; from sun up to to sun down, whether experiencing snowstorms in the north or gale force winds in the south, that gal's hair doesn't move, blink, slink, twitch, grow, growl, or shake. It's as solidly constructed as the Brooklyn Bridge. Hell, I've been in Chicago skyscrapers with more sway. And have you noticed she is never seen touching her hair? You'll never see her run a manicured hand through her hair (she'd probably break her hand or scratch her diamonds). My husband has a theory: her head comes off at night and sits on the dresser. He figures she has 7 of them. Therefore, today he would refer to her as Mrs. Friday, yesterday she was Mrs. Thursday. I'll say this: she has one freaky head of frightening hair.

  71. Of all the things to be reported, superficial BS like this is what you guys are focusing on? Pathetic.

    Its a toss up between Newts walk and Callistas hair.. I don't know which one is scarier. Now between Callista and Michelle, Michelle wins the scarier contest. Has anyone seen Mrs R. Paul? She might win in the overall scary Washington missus catagory.

  78. I don't care about the hair. I worry about the nose. she could hurt with it if she had a head on collision with an innocent bystander.

  79. Callista could have her head shaved and she would still make a much more acceptable first lady then…Moochelle!

  80. Anyone can repent and I think Newt has, why can't we all forgive him and not judge.

    It's no one's business how Gingrich's wife wears her hair. Mrs. Clinton and Mrs. Obama. They all look just great! I personally think Mrs. Gringrich's hair is a great cut! — I get the shampoo and blow dry, and it's that way utnil I walk out the door and the wind picks it up and does a tornado to it. Nothing looks good. Everything is straight and hangs down your shoulders. It has no style and everyone looks alike. Gross! Shop salons have it made with the styles today! Nothing to it!

  84. The reporter needs to learn to spell. One gets ones hair "done" not "down".

  85. They don't need to learn how to spell, "Down" was spelled correctly….:) The word was replaced though as the wrong one was used. Thanks for the spot :)

  86. have they nothing else to comment on. What does the reporters hair look like?:

  87. Aside from the helmet hair, has anyone heard Calista speak?

  88. JEEZ, you guys! Nobody has said a word about that HOOK NOSE on that sucker… The helmet is to help hide her nose…$3,000 on "hair care? She should spend it on a nose job! Can't have that nose in the White House!

  89. I know.

  90. anyone by chance has seen Joan Rivers and Calista Gingrich in the same place at the same time?

  91. She looks like that alien from Mars Attacks. LOL

  92. I just want to mess her hair up to see if I could make it look natural.

  93. Looks like George Jetsons wife,,,,, I mean mistress! Heard she does Family Values commercials!

    Actually, she is a consultant for DuPont, and they are testing new applications of Kevlar.

    I would love to mess it up, but it might break her face.

  98. I have thought all along that the hair is a wig. How could it look every hair in place? It makes her look MUCH older.

  105. OMG more crap about the way a woman looks. Leave her hair alone its her business and get on with reporting real news. Give it up!

  106. To quote the kids "true that"

  107. Callista's hair is no more offending than that of Michelle's weave. At least Callista can call her hair her own. Can Michelle? It takes a of weaves to make her hair even look good.

    Sandy Jewell Bysinger · Works at Life is a job.

    I really am sad to hear such cruelty.Why in the world can this country not be interested what is important? Whether you all like it or not….Newt is the smartest one running and has a plan that makes sense. We've listened to him speak at my husband's business conferences in closer quarters and my husband talked to him one on one….regarding healthcare and he knows is stuff. Are you looking for someone who can run this country or worried about their social life and personal life? Half the people in this country have been married several times and it he is focused on what's important and he is the only one who doesn't worry about what people care about his appearance or personal problems. So…he wanted someone who wears pearls and hair to match. How would you do your hair if you were seen so often and so criticised? Look how Every attractive woman who comes along threatens everyone. In the last election people said Romney was too handsome to be president! What kind of sense did that make? Good grief. God help this mess! Please! Listen to how our people are talking and attacking…..should be ashamed!
