And why purchased hairpieces were widely used and sold at all times
when "big hair" was popular, including in the 1880s And a hairpiece
is cheaper and easier to attach than a wig, IMO.
BTW, my book Fashions of the Gilded Age, volume 2, includes pictures
of late 1870s and early 1880s hairstyles.

I have your book and it was one of the things that convinced me that
false hair was the way for me to go. At the moment I am achieving my
Teen Dream of being a platinum blonde. Unfortunately I have a great
deal less hair than I had as a teenager. Possibly because I attempted to
become a blonde, and no I didn't have more fun.
Over the years I've tried the hairpieces available and had no luck in
concealing the join. I probably need some expert hands on instruction
in making it all work.
Do you have any sources for these hairpieces, or even a wig that could
be in-expensive enough to fool with?
