The reason why British people wear wigs:

If someone has been to Europe, they will find that many Europeans are bald or have extremely little hair. So wearing a wig is not very strange in Britain. As early as the twelfth century, Europeans began to wear wigs, which became more popular in the sixteenth century and reached its peak in the seventeenth century. From kings to people, men and women wear wigs.

Wigs first came from Rome. The Romans believed that baldness was bad and God's punishment for a person. No hair is equivalent to a person accused by God. Therefore, after the wig spread in Europe, it became more decorative. Because of this, Europeans at that time could not do without wigs.
