History of Hair Replacement Systems

Kenny English26 Jun, 2023Health

The urge or need to cover heads with hair that is not our own is as old as civilization. The reasons and methods have changed ? and newer technologies are amazing. The fad of European royalty wearing outrageously big hair began with King Louis XIV of France, whose thinning hair in his late teens prompted him to do this with elaborate tall wigs. Both women and men copied him, a fad that is seen in early American colonists of high status. The term ?big wig? comes from the fact that richest and most powerful people also had the biggest hair system. Powdering of these wigs was a means to deter lice.
