Vor allem waren Perücken eher nicht, wie man es heute oft sieht, aus weißem Haar gefertigt * * * :

Eine richtig gute Perücke war aus Menschenhaar, und wieviele weißhaarige ( nicht gelb- oder grauhhaarige! ) Omis mit langem Haar waren wohl bereit, das ihre zu verkaufen?

Eher noch fanden sich junge Frauen, die aus Not ihr Haar verkauften, das dann alle möglichen Farben hatte.

Most importantly, wigs were not made of white hair as it is often seen nowadays :

A good wig was made of real, human hair, but how many white-haired ( not yellowish or grey ) grannies with long hair were prepared to sell theirs?

It was more probable that youngish women had to sell their long hair for financial reasons, i.e. it came in all colours, so the good wigs must have been made of natural-coloured hair.
