      the hairstyle is actually called "pouf aux sentiment", and popularized by Marie Antoinette & Rose Bertin, was basically the 18th century OOTD but with feelings/meanings as denoted by the accessories one can include in the wig
      for instance, on one occasion Marie Antoinette wore a pouf symbolizing celebrating as well as promoting vaccination in honor of her children being inoculated against smallpox

    I absolutely love that they made her wigs look like afro textured hair styled like that instead of a non textured hair.

    Anyone with African roots can have a kinky or curly hair texture. So the correct term to use is “Afro textured hair”, not black hair. Just like how we have Afro Latino people. They may not be directly black, but they have those black roots. They can also have kinky or curly hair. Would we say that they have a “black hair”? No, it’s Afro textured hair. In the future, you may want to use the proper verbiage ☺️ Other than that, I enjoyed the video!

    Its astounding that so much time and effort was put into Queen Charlotte's hair, yet young King George walked around without a wig. That was unheard of for nobility. It's just so off-putting. As for the wig with moving parts, there were artisans in the 18th century who made automatons. So, it could be explained that the swans are moving thanks to a wound-up automaton device.
