Hats Made of Hair: Wigs

Have you seen pictures of the Pharaohs with their thick, smooth black hair styled in tiny, perfect braids? The truth is, most of them shaved their heads completely bald! Yes, they did this to beat the intense heat and stay super clean. But when they went out to parties or welcomed guests, they wore wigs made with incredible skill. They decorated these wigs with gold threads and gemstone hairpins so they acted like stylish hats that protected them from the sun and made them look fantastic!
