wig

Scalp's borrowed crown

A wig is a head covering made of real or synthetic hair, worn to disguise baldness, change appearance, or for theatrical costume.

Wigs range from natural-looking hairpieces to elaborate period styles.

Judges and barristers in British courts still wear formal wigs.

To wig out is to lose composure or become agitated.
