Wendy tied up her natural hair

"People think it's a vanity thing," she told Entertainment Weekly. "But I have a thyroid disease and there are a few by-products of having a thyroid disease that a lot of people aren’t aware of."

Wendy pointed out that one of these is thinning hair and added: "I'm not bald, but my hair will never thicken up. So wigs are fun and wigs are cute. I would never rock my real hair now other than at my house."

Wendy loves changing up her look

Wendy has a huge collection of wigs and even launched her own line called Wendy Williams Hair World. 

She said of the range: "Beauty is about diversity. No matter what their style, attitude or skin tone, all women are beautiful, and my goal with this line is to help them look and feel their best."
