When the summer sun is causing the mercury in our thermostats to soar upward, many of us turn to short hair styles as a way to beat the heat.
However, that’s slowly beginning to change, as the hair extensions industry has become more popular than ever. In the last two years alone, there has been an astonishing 28.5% growth in the number of hair salons offering hair extension services across the country.
Additionally, today’s women are switching up their hair styles more often than ever. The average woman will sport 104 different hair styles throughout her life; 44% of women do so simply because they’re bored, and 61% say they just wanted a change. As a result, hair extensions are now the hottest hair trend to try this summer — just look at what the stars are doing with their hair!
Which celebrities are turning to hair extensions this summer as a way to add body to hair and length to their locks? Here are just three of the starlets who have made headlines over recent weeks with their lengthy locks:
