hair weave
Sewn-in hair pieces
A hair weave is hair—human or synthetic—that's sewn, braided, or bonded into a person's natural hair to add length, volume, or a different texture.
The term covers various attachment methods: She got a new weave last week.
Weaves are especially popular in Black hair culture, where they offer styling versatility while protecting natural hair.
Sometimes shortened to just weave: Her weave looks so natural.
