I have to admit, I’ve never given much thought as to how long hair extensions have been around for. From my experience, they didn’t really gain mass appeal until the 2000’s, before then extensions seemed to be reserved for the uber rich. The main reason they have become available to the mainstream public is that the newer methods are so much easier to apply. This has resulted in many more salons offering an extension service, and also many online sellers offering do-it-yourself type products like clip on extensions. Also, newer methods of application are now much safer and so women aren’t as afraid to add extensions.
