The word “toupee” comes from the French word for “top.” Toupees have a long history because of the general bias against balding in most civilizations, which had its foundations as early as 3,100 B.C. The earliest examples of toupees were found in the pyramids of ancient Egypt. Julius Caesar is known to have worn toupees. The toupee became popular in the United States beginning in the 1800s. Sears Roebuck sold toupees in its mail-order catalog in 1900. In the 1950s, great advancements were made in making toupees that looked natural. Max Factor, a leading cosmetic manufacturer, made toupees using hair woven into almost invisible, flesh-colored lace. Manufacturers started advertising their special toupee brands in the 1950s.” – eHow.
