Women spent hours on their hair every day to make sure it looked perfect. In the 1700s, both men and women spent a lot of money having wigs made so their hair could be fashionable.
Your hair is an extension of your personality. If you were to go to a job interview dressed nicely in a suit, but your hair was a mess, it wouldn't matter how nice your suit was.

Be good to your hair; it is more important than it seems.
