Definition:
Wigs are heads of hair worn over the scalp or existing hair. They can be made either of a natural material (either human or animal hair) or from synthetic fibers. Wigs can be worn by someone who wants to cover up a bald spot, actors playing a role or even in response to medical situations, such as cancer treatment. Hair extensions are attached to existing hair to make it appear longer than it actually is.
