Wigs date as far back as ancient Egypt.
In ancient Egypt the custom of shaving one's head and wearing a wig was very common.
During the middle ages, the Catholic Church discouraged wearing wigs, so those who wore wigs in the Middle Ages generally wore more natural looking styles.
But as rules were relaxed in the 16th century, wigs became more acceptable accessories.
Queen Elizabeth I of England owned over 80 red wigs.
The legal profession today is dressing up the same way as they did several hundred years ago.
There are three types of legal wigs: the barristers wig, the judges wig and the ceremonial full bottom wig.
Prince William is now bald.
Baldness is very common among Englishmen, so wigs are in great demand.

1624年，23岁的法国国王路易十三世面临危机，他开始秃顶。
他的决定引发了一场持续150年的时尚热潮。
他戴一顶特别完整的假发。
假发的历史可以追溯到古埃及。
古埃及，剃头和戴假发的习俗非常普遍。
在中世纪，天主教会不鼓励戴假发，所以那些戴假发的中世纪西欧人通常戴更自然的假发发型。
但在16世纪，随着规则的放松，假发成为更容易被接受的配饰。
英国女王伊丽莎白一世拥有80多顶红色假发。
法律界今天也是同样的穿着打扮和几百年前一样。
法律界假发有三种类型：大律师假发、法官假发和仪式用全底假发。
如今威廉王子是秃头。
英国男人秃头很常见，所以假发的需求量很大。

You already wrote "the Middle Ages" at the start of the sentence, so no need to repeat it. This will help the sentence flow better.
