The History of Hair Extensions

How that became fashionable I don't really know! Then strangely in the early 20th century Edwardian women wore false hair additions to create the pompadour hairstyle which looked like a woman was wearing a teapot on her head. Come the mid Victorian era and hair pieces were used a lot more extensively. In 1800 fake hair was frowned upon and women left their hair to be natural until the Romantic era was in full swing when women wore elaborate Apollo knots.

Since then hair pieces have been in and out of fashion ever since. Hair extensions might seem like a new invention but in reality hair additions have been around as far back as the Egyptian times when both men and women work wigs.
