There is some debate about the period correctness of the term “hedgehog” for this hairstyle of the 1780s and 1790s, some argue “Coiffure à L’Enfant” is a better term but regardless, there is no debate on how popular the style was!

This Topper is a hair piece, not a full wig, that covers from the front hairline to the back of the crown and is intended to be worn with a long ponytail or ringlets (of your natural hair or another hair piece) hanging down in back. It includes an internal wool stuffed cushion/rat to preserve the shape under hats or headdresses.

Fast and simple to use, this hairpiece is perfect for the costumer with hair too long to curl into the hedgehog shape, hair that is challenging to keep curled, needs more volume or as a shortcut to a finished style.

Want to complete the look? Add a set of Buckles or XL Buckles and a Straight Fall or Ringlet Fall
