“The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” a new reality TV series, is full of juicy storylines involving fraying friendships, divorce and dating. But for all the drama the show’s eight young stars face, nothing is sparking more fan conversation than their hair.
“Utah curls,” as they’ve been dubbed on social media, have received outsize attention after being featured front and center in the Hulu show, which premiered in September.
