historical records show that ancient
0:01
Egyptians wore wigs as a symbol of
0:03
status and beauty and from what I saw
0:05
that was men and women these early wigs
0:08
were often made from human hair sheep's
0:10
wool or Palm fibers and were
0:12
meticulously crafted to Showcase wealth
0:14
and social standing that's so
0:16
fascinating to me because when I think
0:17
of wigs I often associate it with black
0:19
women wanting to fit in with these
0:21
straight hair wigs but it never dawned
0:24
on me that wigs are ancient and begin
0:26
really with us elaborate hairstyles and
0:30
were common practices amongst many
0:32
African tribes hair was often styled to
0:34
denote social status age marital status
0:37
and tribal affiliation
