Video - 18th Century Wig Wonders: Pets, Birdcages, and Pig Fat Hairdos!

Did you know that in the 18th century, women used to wear giant powdered wigs that could sometimes house small pets? That's right, some wigs were so big and elaborate they even had birdcages in them!

So, next time you complain about a bad hair day, just be glad you don’t need a birdcage on your head! What’s the craziest fashion trend you’ve heard of? Let me know in the comments!
