Bob Ross's Hair: A Perm That Became Iconic
Update: 2025-12-27
Description
Bob Rosss iconic curly hair, a signature of his PBS show The Joy of Painting, was actually a result of a budget-friendly perm. Initially, he had short, straight hair, but after joining the Air Force, he let it grow and permed it. This style became his trademark, even appearing in his companys logo. Despite his military career, which included a desk job due to flat feet, Bob found his passion for painting and taught wet-on-wet techniques on his show for 31 seasons. He passed away in 1995, but his legacy and joyful spirit continue to inspire artists worldwide.
