Which description best defines a wig?

• A. A simple headband of hair
• B. A hair extension that clips in
• C. A cap made of fabric
• D. An artificial covering for the head consisting of interwoven hair that covers the client's hair

Answer: (D)

A wig is an artificial head covering made of hair that is attached to a base and designed to sit over the client's natural hair, providing full or partial scalp coverage with interwoven strands that look like real hair. This distinguishes it from clip-in hair extensions, which add hair to existing strands without covering the whole head, and from a fabric cap, which is just a cap used to hold hair in place and does not itself consist of hair. So the description that fits best is an artificial head covering for the head consisting of interwoven hair that covers the client's hair.
