Video - The Wig Craze: How Louis XIV Started a Fashion Revolution

Did you know that in the 16th century, a French king named Louis XIV was obsessed with wigs? He started losing his hair at a young age, so he wore elaborate wigs to cover it up. These wigs became so popular that even commoners started wearing them. Louis XIV even had a special team of wig makers called "perruquiers" who created his unique and extravagant wigs. This trend became so widespread that people would spend hours getting their wigs styled, leading to the phrase "big wig" to describe someone important or influential. So next time you see a fancy wig, remember that it all started with a king's baldness!
