A wig is a head of hair human or synthetic worn on the
head for fashion
|
or various other aesthetic and stylistic reasons, including cultural
and religious observance.
Some people wear wigs to disguise the fact that they are bald. Actors,
on the other hand often wear costume wigs in order to better portray the
character they are playing.
Today, wigs are worn by many on a daily or occasional basis as a matter
of convenience as they can be styled ahead of time and then worn when
there is not sufficient time to style one's own hair. They are also worn
by individuals who are experiencing hair loss due to medical reasons (most
commonly cancer patients who are undergoing chemotherapy or those who are
suffering from alopecia areata). In men, the most common cause of baldness
is "male-pattern baldness" and this is probably the most common reason for
wig-wearing in this group.

The post-menopausal diffuse baldness of women, while more common than
generally realized, is usually not severe enough to warrant the
wearing of a wig. A more common use seen in modern day society is for
men who crossdress as women, wigs are used to make the men have more
feminine hair in all sorts of styles, they wear this along with other
'female' clothing.
A number of celebrities, including Dolly Parton and Raquel Welch have
popularized wigs. Cher has worn all kinds of wigs in the last 40
years- from blonde to black, and curly to straight. They may also be
worn for fun as part of fancy dress (costume wearing), when they can
be of outlandish colour or made from tinsel. They are quite common at
Halloween, when "rubber wigs" (solid bald cap-like hats, shaped like
hair), are sold at some stores. |
