Wigs: Wigs were considered as an ornament they decorated their heads with, and one that also protected them from the sun, heat and lice.
Extensions: Believe it or not, women used to wear extensions back then to make their hair look fuller and healthier. They used to braid it and weave it into their real hair by using bee wax and resin.
