Hair extensions are artificial hair strands attached to natural hair to increase length, volume, or texture. For instance, a 16-inch hair extension would be used to add 16 inches of length to the user's hair.
Hair extensions have become increasingly popular for their ability to transform one's appearance without the commitment of a permanent hairstyle. They can be customized to match the user's natural hair colour and texture, and can be styled in countless ways. The history of hair extensions dates back to ancient Egypt, where women wore wigs made from human hair, wool, or plant fibres.
