Modern synthetic wigs

A wig is a head covering made from human hair, animal hair, or synthetic fiber. Wigs have long history. In Egyptian society men and women commonly had clean shaven or close cropped hair and often wore wigs. The ancient Egyptians created the wig to shield shaved, hairless heads from the sun. They also wore the wigs on top of their hair using beeswax and resin to keep the wigs in place. Wealthy Egyptian would wear elaborate wigs and scented cones of animal fat on top of their wigs. Other ancient cultures, including the Assyrians, Phoenicians, Jews in ancient Israel,[4]Greeks and Romans, also used wigs as an everyday fashion.
