Sarah Palin’s hair could be the newest reality TV darling in September when TLC debuts a new programme revolving around the Tea Party figurehead’s hometown salon in Alaska.

On September 20, Big Hair Alaska will air as a 30-minute show focused on the Wasilla, Alaska salon credited with styling the immediately recognisable up-do of the state’s former governor and 2008 Republican vice Presidential candidate.

“This special goes inside a busy hair salon in Wasilla... where the personalities of the owner and her staff are as big as the hairstyles they create,” TLC, a cable television channel focused on reality and family programming, said in a statement.

TLC representatives declined to provide further details.

But the owner of Beehive Beauty Shop, Jessica Steele, announced the news on her Facebook page, saying: “TLC just announced their fall lineup, and we are on it!!!! Our show is called Big Hair Alaska!!!! Omg!!! It’s really happening!!!!)”

A new Facebook page called Big Hair Alaska has already been created.

The salon is based in Wasilla, where it counted among its clients Ms Palin, the town’s biggest celebrity.
