Yes or donated hair. There was no means to make synthetic hair at that time:)

@ravenwind43 they used to pay for it too yeah? If you were really poor a girl could sell her hair. I know this through a movie so.....could be wrong

@SW-User Yes sounds about right. Hair receivers were popular then so a woman could safely store her hair. She would keep it to make a hairpiece for herself or sell it:)
