Donning a wig involves placing a hairpiece made from natural or synthetic fibers over one’s head to cover the scalp and create the illusion of a different hairstyle or hair texture. Wigs can be used for various purposes, including fashion, entertainment, medical reasons, and religious practices.
Throughout history, wigs have held cultural and social significance. In ancient Egypt, wigs were worn by both men and women as a symbol of status and wealth. In the 17th and 18th centuries, elaborate wigs were popular among European royalty and aristocracy. Today, wigs are widely used in the entertainment industry, particularly in theater, film, and television, to transform an actor’s appearance quickly and effectively.
