Early in her political career, Noem appeared to be a fan of shorter hairstyles.
While wearing a hat can be an easy way to conceal hair extensions, social media users were unimpressed.
“Does the hair come off with the hat?”

snarked one poster onX (formerly Twitter).
Others dissed Noem for her incongruous appearance.
Mockery aside, it’s doubtful that Noem will give up on this hair hack anytime soon.

Noem’s Instagram feed reveals ubiquitous cap-wearing, from office meetings to public speaking events.
“Kristi Noem is a cosplaying weirdo.
So cringe,” wrote one person onX (formerly Twitter).
One couldn’t resist jibing that Noem could risk getting her extensions pulled out in the line of duty.
However, it’s pretty clear in these cases she’s acting and not really doing these jobs.
In that case, Noem neglected to provide a disclaimer regarding her commentary.
