Why were powdered wigs worn?
In the old days, people did not bathe regularly. This is not a joke, by the way. Indoor plumbing was rare, and some people even believed bathing was harmful. In Shakespeare's day, people covered themselves with perfume to hide the fact that they did not bathe often. Upper-class men wore wigs partly to represent status and authority, but they also wore them for a practical reason-- they hid lice. And they were powdered to hide dirty hair. Interestingly, the custom of wearing a wig-hat persisted even into the era when people DID begin to bathe regularly, and today, in British courts, male attorneys and judges still wear the wig-hat. Americans began to wear it in the early republic, but they rejected it, as they rejected other customs that reminded them of being a British colony.
