I have given up on my hair. I'm looking for a Wig that I will
style/have styled, keep in a hat box on a stand and put on at need.
I've never had enough real hair to do those styles and I certainly don't
have the time or talent to do the stuff in the morning. Neither did our
characters which is why the fancy types had maids!

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.
