And in the early 18th century, the wigs that officers wore were shorter with pigtails in powdered style. Then came to the late 18th century, at that time people worn elaborate and oversized wigs in court style. However, this style was not suitable for soldiers who needed to fight. Therefore, soldiers worn simpler human hair wigs. Later, soldiers tied their hair back with strings. But they needed to grease their hair with tallow or other fat, which gave people a false impression that they had shortened their hair. Human hair wigs were removed until the end of the 18th century.
