Hair Extensions Are NOT Just for Black Women

There are those who really believe that weave is just for African American women.  Obviously, these people have never heard of Britney Spears or Jessica Simpson. And this hasn’t been a new development. 

White women have been wearing hair extensions to add fullness and up the glamour factor to their look since a far back as Egyptian times. Hair extensions were also in demand during the Victorian area when huge pompadour hairstyles were in fashion. In fact, nearly every time that big hair has been the thing to do, so have hair extensions. Come on. Do you really think that Dolly Parton was making all that happen on top of her head with her natural hair?

Call it what you want: weave, sew-ins or hairpieces. The truth is that hair extensions cross all racial and ethnic barriers. It’s just that their more out in the open now.

Although black women are still more likely to wear hair extensions, you will find that many Asian, Latina and White women wear weave too. Just ask Lucy Liu or Victoria Beckham. And their reasoning is the same as anybody else’s. Maybe they are looking for to try a new look without  having to wait to grow out their hair for over a year. Or perhaps they have particularly thin hair but crave a fuller, sexier hairstyle. Maybe there’s a special occasion that they’re glamming up for. And don’t forget those with alopecia or other problems growing hair naturally.

Whether it’s Remy Brazilian hair extensions or tangle free 100% reusable Indian extensions, hair weave is for anyone who wants to change up the game and make a splash. It’s 2009 and it’s not just a black thing anymore.
