Hairpiece Stories That Will Blow Your Mind

A head full of healthy, lustrous hair means a great hair day—a reality for some, a hair fantasy for others. Every day, The Virgin Hair Fantasy makes this dream come true for its thousands of patrons with its top-of-the-line of hairpieces including the Peruca line. The Virgin Hair Fantasy shares the dreams and aspirations that power the hairpiece worldview—here are some stories that will blow your mind.

King Louis XIII made hairpieces fashionable

Long after history had forgotten about hairpieces, King Louis XIII of France began wearing hairpieces, when mocked by the King of England, to show his virility. Considered a fashion statement, the unconventional style caught on, and many of the king’s men began wearing elaborate hairpieces, adorned with bows, plaits and ribbons, whether bald or not. Perukes or periwigs as they were known became fashionable among aristocrats, giving rise to the term ‘bigwig,’ and spawned a whole industry of hairpiece makers. Today, hairpieces are not only accessible to aristocrats, barristers, celebrities, composers, judges, kings, politicians and presidents, but to anyone who has a medical condition or simply wants to have fun. The Virgin Hair Fantasy is a proud member of the hairpiece culture. Its product Peruca, which means wig in Portuguese, overcame the verbal stigma associated with ‘wig’ to become a success.

Insurance covers hairpieces

Medical hairpieces are about comfort and self-image. Doctors prescribe hairpieces as an extra-cranial prosthesis, which is considered prosthetic device and is covered by insurance. Each year, millions of caring people donate hair to charities and non-profit organizations that make hairpieces using the contributions.  For us, it takes two to three months to make a quality, natural Peruca, which can be styled for individual preferences. Perucas are custom made—each client sends her desired looks along with her head measurements; we create the hairpiece and send images for approval before producing and shipping the order. Our services also include custom-made hairpieces from own hair or hair donated by family and friends. With over a dozen hair types, a Peruca could cost from a few hundreds to thousands of dollars.

Hairpiece arc is about character development

So strong is the hair fantasy culture that hairpieces are elaborately crafted for media personalities, movies, and television episodes. Whether it is for television such as Game of Thrones, Hollywood blockbusters such as Star Wars, or red carpet appearances of celebrities like Katy Perry, hairpiece experts are as much in demand as the A-listers. It is not difficult to imagine a character such as Anika Calhoun or Rhonda Lyon from the widely acclaimed television series Empire in a Peruca.

Future of hairpieces

Technology is contributing significantly to innovation in the hairpiece industry. Hybrid hairpieces with such great denier and texture are emerging that it's hard to tell the difference, making hairpieces more and more fashionable. For creatives who enjoy colorful hair and off-beat styling, hybrid hairpieces are extremely popular. So popular you can buy hairpieces from vending machines. We, like other experts, believe in the future hairpieces will be ‘intelligent’ with memory for curl, wave and volume, eliminating the possibility of a ‘bad hair day!’
