While it doesn’t appear in the Oxford Dictionary - the term ‘ketwig’ - does appear a number of times on UrbanDictionary.com, and it seems there are two trains of thought on the meaning. In the regional archaeology collection there are a number of 18th century wig curlers, especially a group excavated at South Castle Street, some of which are on display in the History Detectives gallery. These were discovered in excavations before the Crown Court was built on Derby Square. These small ceramic objects would have been used on new wigs, or those in need of restyling, to create the even curls which were fashionable in that period. Wig hair would have been rolled in strips of damp paper around heated curlers and then tied with rags and baked in an oven. Wig curlers of different diameters are found, which probably reflects different lengths of hair being curled. The Ket Wig trend is actually pretty versatile, in winter the mop of hair acts as an additional layer of insulation, in summer its more of a challenge but some lads manage to jam a North Face cap over their wig resulting in more of a Side Show Bob kind of look. Is it better than a man bun though? We’re not convinced. The term is often bandied about when referring to young lads with long curly hair - but what does that have to do with ketamine?

The city consequently became a melting pot of several languages and dialects as sailors, traders and migrants from other parts of Britain, Ireland and northern Europe came to the city. After the news a Liverpool barber launched a mission to eradicate ketwigs we decided to find out the origin of the scraggy hairstyle. Okay well first up we don’t say the word chav, its scally up here, and while some of the ket wigs we’ve been subjected to are indeed pretty disgusting, there’s the odd one that has super model potential, like lad seriously, get on the blower to Gucci, they’ll have you walking that catwalk in designer threads in no time. So they all take drugs? Until the mid-19th century, the dominant local accent was similar to that of neighbouring areas of Lancashire. However, the influence of Irish and Welsh migrants, combined with European accents, contributed to a distinctive local Liverpool accent.

The name comes from the idea that the money saved from not getting a haircut can instead be spent, in their view wisely, on ketamine.”A 10-15 year old male with the on-trend overly-curly hair usually seen wandering down County Road with a fag in hand on a bike. Sometimes still out by 11pm.
