Is Howard wearing a wig in The Big Bang Theory?


In The Big Bang Theory, we have seen the character of Howard Wolowitz having a rigid, helmet-like hairdo, which was always suspected to be a wig and not his hairstyle. However, during a Twitter Q&A session by actor Simon Helberg (who plays Howard in the series), it was revealed that the hair was never a wig and that it was his own hair that was styled in that way. In the tweet, the actor wrote “I don't wear a wig," claiming that he never got a chance to wear a wig yet, as his hair was flat ironed which was suitable for the role.
