Wigs have been known and used for many centuries. Many noblemen have tried this great medallion. Even in the ancient Egyptian civilization, wigs were already into good use. Most ancient Egyptians had wigs to protect their shaved head from the heat of the sun. Other old civilizations who wore wigs are Phoenicians, Assyrians, Greeks and Romans. This medallion trace back its roots to ancient western civilizations.

The royal and other important people who wore wigs

When the Roman Empire declined, the use of wigs were also forgotten, and it was not until the 16th century that people began to revive them. During this era, wigs were already worn as a way to improve one's appearance and also to cover baldness. The conditions during this period was also very unhygienic so people shaved their heads and began using wigs. It was much easier to remove lice from artificial hair than to get rid of them on the natural way.

The numerous royal used wigs made great contribution to their revival. The famous red wig of Queen Elizabeth I of England was styled in Roman curls. France's King Louis XIII and King Louis XIV was the first two men to wear wigs in the 16th century. King Louis XIV (also known as the Sun King) was a dictator, who told the men of his time how they should dress and what their taste should be. He was an extremely fashion conscious king who admired extravagance and elaborate styles.

It was during Charles II's time, periwigs was introduced to English-speaking civilizations. The wigs, which were then in use were long (from shoulder length long styles). 1600s was a century where men sported long hair, not because they grew their hair, but because they had shaved their heads and they soon began to go periwigs. Anyone who had a significant social rank back in the 1600s had a wig.

It was in the 18th century that men and women wigs started to powdered. Wig powder consisting of starch, lavender and orris root. The powder was perfumed with orange flower. Sometimes, colorful wigs were also worn as the violet them, the bright red, blue and yellow versions.

During the 18th and 19 century, wigs were worn mainly to hide baldness among older women. This is why not too many people seen wearing a wig as a fashionable during these centuries.
