00:00:03,118 --> 00:00:06,962
At the time of the French king Louis XIV,
the wig became fashionable.

00:00:07,313 --> 00:00:11,293
The Sun King wanted to hide
his bald head with a wig.

00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,503
But under European rulers,
4
00:00:14,528 --> 00:00:18,531
long wigs quickly became a fashion symbol.
5
00:00:19,273 --> 00:00:23,722
Not only the nobility, but also
the bourgeoisie followed this trend.

00:00:23,767 --> 00:00:27,547
Positions and professions
developed their own forms.
7
00:00:27,581 --> 00:00:32,525
The lower the position,
the easier and cheaper the wigs were.

00:00:33,274 --> 00:00:39,519
For more than 100 years, they betrayed
the social status of a Frenchman.
