Im trying to find this out as I have a list of 30 costume words from the middle ages to do for school, however they are in spanish, and i am really stuck with the phrase "tocado de trufas", which tocado means hairdo / hat, and trufas is either meaning lies or truffles?!!

I'm not sure what you're asking. the Religious wore different hats, according to their ranking, cardinal, bishop, etc, down to everyday clerics. Underneath the hats? I have no clue. But I've never heard any mention of wigs.
As for the answer "in Elizabethan times everyone wore wigs," that is false. Elizabeth wore various fantastic hairpieces as she aged and her hair thinned. Mary Queen of Scots famously had her hair cut short and wore a wig- when the executioner lifted her severed head to proclaim "God save the Queen," her head fell to the ground and he was left holding the wig. But other women and men did not wear any kind of wig. The periwig only became popular after Charles II was restored to the throne in 1660.

in medievil times, no.very few peoplewore wigs, and never priests. in Elizabethan times all the rich people wore wigs all the time. that is probably the time you are meaning.
