Have you ever wondered how your favorite celebrities' hair can be so full and lustrous? Or have short blonde hair one day and long black hair the next.

Well, the secret to that is hair extensions. Hair extensions allow a switch-up at any time. Whether it's saving the look due to hair loss or for perfect paparazzi photos.

Spotting the difference between natural hair and hair extension might be clear at some point, especially with them achieving two different hairstyles in two days. But, at times, it might not be so obvious.

Since the cat is out of the bag, let's get to know celebrities who wear hair extensions and see occasions where they wore them. Some have outrightly declared using them, and some have not. In this list, you should find famous actors and singers.

Hair extensions provide a convenient way to change your hairstyle frequently. That means you can slay without restrictions, and these 14 celebrities are proof.

8. Gabrielle Union

American actress Gabrielle Union’s naturally healthy hair has caused the feeling of admiration among her fans. However, the 51-year-old celebrity was not always confident in her hair while growing up.

She’s worn many hair extensions and weaves since she entered the industry but embraced her natural hair as she built her self-esteem. While we couldn’t be more proud, she’s looked stunning in some hair extensions. And we love them.

A few of those times are

When it comes to versatile looks, Niki Minaj remains an icon. The American rapper and songwriter wears diverse hair extensions and wigs confidently. Be it wigs or hair extensions, Niki is bold with her choices.

She's creative with her hairstyles and inspires others to do the same. From short hairs to bangs, ponytails, and long hairs, Niki never struggles to slay them. The singer has worn hair extensions from Hair Virginity and many other brands.

10. Rihanna

Rihanna does not play with her hairstyle game. One day she's wearing red hair, the next day she's wearing something else. We love how she ditches a hairstyle for the next and can't get enough of them.

The American singer goes all out with her hair extensions and they do suit her. Recently, she switched her long extensions for a sleek bob look. While it might be different from what people had expected, everyone would agree that they look good on her as stated by Cosmopolitan.

Let’s see Rihanna with some hair extensions.

11. Camila Cabello

The singer and songwriter Camila Cabello confirmed to have tried ponytail hair extensions in a tweet where she tagged Ariana Grande. While she was uncomfortable wearing the ponytail, she's used hair extensions over time.

At the 2023 Grammys, Camila Cabello wore a Great Length Tape In Extensions styled by Dimitris Giannetis. She looked glamorous in it and it might have been hard to tell that they were extensions.

Let's see the extensions.

12. Ariana Grande

The 30-year-old singer, songwriter, and actress is known for her signature ponytail look. While her natural hair is shoulder length, the look is achieved with the help of some hair extensions.

After admitting to hair damage caused by dyeing for the TV show Sam & Cat, the singer chose to add long hair extensions for a ponytail.

Over time, she's switched between colors and styles including going for straight platinum blonde, a ponytail, and a curly brown ponytail. The looks gorgeously suit her and people try to copy her hairstyles.

13. Kim Kardashian

Kim’s iconic hairstyles can’t be talked about without hair extensions. The popular TV personality and businesswoman often changes her looks. Draping herself with gorgeously made outfits and hairstyles that stand out. She slayed hair colors and lengths at different times.

While she wears this to keep up with her personality on the internet, she always looks good in them. Some of our favorites are the long black tresses look, her black wavy hairstyle, and the blonde, long, and sleek hair. It can be so hard to point them out since there are a lot (what do you expect) but here are a few below.

14. Millie Bobby Brown

At least since her role as Eleven in Stranger Things which required her to shave her head, the British actress Millie Bobby Brown has been spotted numerous times wearing hair extensions.

While she wore her short pixie cut hair for some time, the 20-year-old actress usually wears extensions for a change of look. She’s added long curly tresses to medium-length ones. Her long ponytail look remains iconic and memorable. And can agree with the fact that she looks amazing in them. One of our favorites was her long and sleek tresses at the 2020 SAG Awards. It was simple but beautiful.
