When did people start wearing head gear?

Historians have found wigs and headgear as old as 5,000 years old. Egyptians tombs have been found wigs and various items to be worn on the head. The Ancient Greeks had wigs, crowns of laurel leaves for winning games, and hats. Romans used wigs of various sorts and different types of headwear. In Victorian England laws were made to regulate the hats of people. The woolen mills needed to sell wool so caps were made from wool, but the caps could only be worn by workmen. A top hat could only be worn by the well to do.
