A wig is a head of hair made from horse-hair, human
hair, wool, feathers, buffalo hair, or synthetic,
worn on the head for fashion or various other aesthetic
and stylistic reasons, including cultural and religious
observance. The word wig is short for periwig and
first appeared in the English language around 1675.
Today, wigs are worn by many on a daily or occasional
basis as a matter of convenience as they can be
styled ahead of time and then worn when there is
not sufficient time to style one's own hair. They
are also worn by individuals who are experiencing
hair loss due to medical reasons (most commonly
cancer patients who are undergoing chemotherapy
or those who are suffering from alopecia areata).
In men, the most common cause of baldness is "male-pattern
baldness" and this is probably the most common
reason for wig-wearing in this group. The post-menopausal
diffuse baldness of women, while more common than
generally realized, is usually not severe enough
to warrant the wearing of a wig... |
