wigs
Costume shop headwear
Wigs are artificial coverings of hair worn on the head.
People wear wigs to disguise baldness, change their appearance, or as part of a costume.
In British courts, judges and barristers still wear traditional white wigs.
To wig out is to lose control emotionally—to panic or become extremely agitated: She wigged out when she saw the bill.
