A little history on the wig Danton - George Washington
...
The wig indicated social rank according to its complexity
(bourgeoisie and nobility).
The poor could not afford it because it
needed rice powder to hold the curls and prevent the hair from greasing too
quickly. The rice powder was mainly used to give the wig its pure
white
As it was the quintessential hallmark of Ancien Régime society, the
Revolution put an end to the wearing of the wig, which denounced the membership
of the aristocracy of its owner.
