Colonial Wig Making

Today was a hard day because it is my first. I had to go to the mountains to get hair from a poor goat that came up to me like I was food. On my way back I saw a duck, I was hungry and the duck was like my Jesus.

When I got back to the village I went to the house and started to make a wig. I spread out all these ribbons and netting called a caul which formed the inner part of the wig. The caul was on a wooden dummy head called a blockhead so I could have the right shape. I wove the goat hair to the correct before stitching it onto the caul. Once all the hair was on, I painstakingly curled the rows of hair by wrapping them around the curling rods. Then I cut the hair to the correct length with scissors. I put a coat of white powder on the wig to make it white. After people saw how good I was at making wigs, everyone wanted a wig, so I made more and more wigs my hair started to fall out. I wanted a wig but the white was kind of  boring  and I wanted a different color. I was thinking of colors and then green popped into my head, so I made a blue wig. After my blue wig everyone wanted a blue wig.

Man is wig making hard.
