A new photo of Melania Trump has stirred up quite the conversation. Many people are curious if her famous long hair might be getting a little boost from some hair extensions.
It all started when J.D. Vance, the Vice President-elect, shared a photo on Twitter on December 12. The picture showed Donald Trump and Melania watching the New York Stock Exchange on TV. However, it wasn’t the stock market that grabbed attention. What people noticed was the back of Melania’s head, sparking rumors about possible tape-in hair extensions.
In his Twitter post, Vance expressed excitement by saying, “Ready to ring the bell on the New York Stock Exchange.” He confidently added, “President Trump will lead a great American comeback!”
Melania’s elegantly styled brunette hair has always been a defining part of her look. However, recent pictures have raised questions about whether she’s using extensions to add volume and length.
To dig deeper into this topic, DailyMail.com reached out to top hairstylists for their insight. Julia North, the founder of the luxury wig brand Wigonia, shared her thoughts. “Based on the photo, it looks like she might be using tape-in or beaded-row extensions,” North commented, pointing out the delicate transition between her natural hair and the added pieces.
“She probably uses high-quality European human hair extensions, about 18 to 20 inches long,” North suggested. She added that Melania might be combining tape-ins for volume and individual beaded rows for added length.
Another expert, Saraphine Nurse, an extension specialist from UNice, agreed with these observations. “The fullness and texture at the ends suggest some added volume or length,” Nurse explained, noting that public figures often favor clip-ins or tape-ins for their flexibility and natural appearance.
Despite what looks like extension tape being visible in the photo, Melania’s overall look is perfectly refined. “The color matching is superb,” North added. “Her extensions are seamlessly blended with her natural hair.”
Celebrity stylist Mia Santiago also weighed in, saying, “Extensions tend to hold curls more than finer natural hair, which you can see here.” With a hint of humor, Santiago remarked, “If I had to guess, I’d say she’s definitely using extensions.”
Melania’s hair length has varied in her public appearances, indicating she might switch between different extension styles depending on the event. Experts say this is common among high-profile individuals, as it helps protect their natural hair while keeping a consistent signature look.
Known for her attention to grooming, Melania has even frequented New York’s exclusive John Frieda Salon during challenging times for the Trump family in 2022. Whether or not extensions are part of her beauty routine, her commitment to presenting a polished appearance is evident.
