The First Wig in Human History — 4,000 Years of Egyptian Fashion 👑💫 Long before Paris, Milan, or New York set the rules of style, ancient Egypt was already defining what it meant to be fashionable. This remarkable 4,000-year-old wig, discovered in a tomb at Saqqara, is one of the oldest and best-preserved examples of hair artistry in human history. Every strand, every curl, every braid you see was crafted by the hands of ancient Egyptian stylists — masters of beauty, elegance, and innovation.
