I. Divine Origin: Ancient Egyptian Sun Armor

In the scorching heat of the Nile River, the pharaohs turned jewelry into a perfect combination of practicality and faith. Archaeological discoveries show:

- Priests shaved their heads and wore linen fiber wigs to avoid parasites

- Ceremonial wigs woven with gold and lapis lazuli weighed up to 3 kilograms

- The cobalt blue cone-shaped wig of the famous Nefertiti statue symbolizes the order of the universe

II. Roman vanity: the game of hair and power

With the expansion of the Roman Empire, wigs became an arena of identity:

- Caesar used a laurel leaf wig to cover his baldness, triggering a trend of imitation in the Senate

- The blond hair of German prisoners of war was made into "barbarian wigs", each worth 100 gold coins

- Philosopher Seneca angrily denounced: "Rome is burying the truth with wigs"

III. Baroque carnival: the white hair wave of the Palace of Versailles

When Louis XIV began to go bald at the age of 35, it gave birth to the craziest wig era in Europe:

- The royal wigmaker consumed 10 pounds of horsehair every day to make a "full-bouffant" wig

- Lead powder sprinkled on judge's wig symbolizes "white frost of wisdom", but it leads to lead poisoning

- The red wig of pirates became a terrifying totem of the Age of Discovery

IV. Modern Age: The democratization revolution of wigs

The Industrial Revolution brought wigs down from the altar:

- In 1915, electric perm technology achieved mass production of wavy wigs

- Marilyn Monroe's platinum wig led the post-war Hollywood trend

- Customized wigs for chemotherapy patients promote the development of the medical beauty industry

From religious instruments to identity labels, from medical aids to art carriers, the evolution of wigs is a mirror image of the development of human civilization. When we change the virtual wig filter on TikTok, we are still continuing the eternal pursuit of the "second self" by the pharaohs five thousand years ago.
