Grey hair in episode three


All of the adults had grey wigs or grey coloring in their hair at the event in episode three. What was that all about?

Simply the fashion of the time: various shades of white or grey were favored in the fashionable wigs of the mid-XVIIIth century. All the more so since wigs and natural hair alike were powdered. If you look at portraits of the time you'll find many examples, regardless of th age of the girls or women.
