Curly Wigs
Despite the prevalence of prophylactic periwigs, ultimately their use led to fashion by way of vanity. Wigs found cosmetic use in 1624 when the French king, Louis the XIII - known as "Louis the Bald" ("Flip Your Wig") - began wearing one to cover up his onset baldness. In the mid 1600s Louis the XIV decided the practice was an amusing one, and from there the popularity of wig-wearing by the rich and powerful took off. The fashion arrived in England in 1663 and was adopted by the court of Charles II (McLaren 242-243).When the dermal papilla reconnects with the hair follicle, if the old hair has not been released, it will be pushed out with the new growth.It is normal to lose up to about 100 hairs per day but when you are losing more hair than usual, you need to pay attention.There are several forms hair loss can take.Alopecia areata is a condition that both men and women can experience and it manifests itself as a small balding spot.
