Wig Facts
It's no surprise that wigs are still the way to go for men's hair. We here at Enlightened Elegance predict them to stay around for the rest of the century and wanted to make sure that all our readers had the latest on what's in their hair.
What wigs are made of:
~ horsehair and fine wire
~ those made with human hair is very expensive, especially when the full curled type.
Types of wigs (the current trend seems to be that new professions and trades result in a new type of wig!):
~ the bag wig (origin from the French servants, who thrust their hair into a leather bag)
~ the pigtail wig (worn by soldiers, either hanging down or doubled back and tied )
~ the bob wig (the simple wig of the poor, usually known as an undress hairstyle)
~ other types of wigs for men include the rhinoceros, cauliflower (a coachman's wig), comet, Grecian fly, scratch, dalmahoy, snailback, spinach see, and the pigeon's wig (Chalmers 214). (March 20, 1750)
