A Brief History

It all started in ancient Greece where wigs were a status symbol of the elite. Only the upper echelons of society could afford such extravagant hairpieces. Fast forward to the 17th and 18th centuries, wigs became a staple in European fashion, particularly among the aristocracy and upper classes. It wasn't until the 20th century that wigs became more accessible to the general population, and thus, National Wig Out Day was born!
