Colonial Wig Maker

November 13 1804

Today I had to go get a broom to sweep the ground,I also had to make a blonde slick back curly wig.We ran out of human hair so I had to horse hair instead.Now i can put it on a cap and give it to them.Some more people came in and I had to make a black poofy wig,I first shaved them then I measured there head five ways.I also made the black poofy wig hair out of cow tails.Then i put it in oil,and I combed it and boiled it then its ready to give it to them.I usually get nothing but very rarely i get a yearly fee to care for wigs and i love it!
