I'm watching for the first time and always crack up at Sil's hair. Is it realistic for the setting of the show or did they play it up for comic relief?

realistic or play it up

I always wondered about that too. I didn't like his hair because it wasn't realistically played up so it seemed like a out of tune note in a guitar solo. Eventually I read this...

Steven Van Zandt

As a teenager, he was involved in a car accident that caused him to smash his head through the windshield, leaving several scars on his head. To cover this up, he began wearing hats, and later, large bandanas, which has become his characteristic look.

Van Zandt never appears bareheaded in public. Maybe his wig was designed like a helmet so it would feel natural to him and it wouldn't distract his acting.

Obviously it's easy for me to say, it's not my head, but damn what an opportunity that could have been to just not cover it up, get yoked and look like a Warhammer character.
