Video - The Royal Wig Craze of Louis XIV

Did you know that King Louis XIV of France had a very unusual fashion trend in the 17th century? He was so obsessed with wigs that he started losing his natural hair due to constant wig-wearing. To hide his baldness, he decided to wear a wig made of real human hair! This wig trend became so popular among the French nobility that people would actually sell their hair to wigmakers. Imagine having someone else's hair on your head just to look fashionable! What a bizarre fashion statement, right? So next time you wear a wig, remember you're not the only one with someone else's hair on your head!
