Yeah, people with a more natural haircut are more ridiculous than dudes with powered wigs and whatever dumb fashion GW and the guys in the 1770s had.

Benjamin Franklin had a skullet/mullet and creampied menopausal women.

It is what gave them their white colour. Powderless wigs were quite the improvement.
