Is Melania Trump using hair extensions? That’s the question the internet is obsessed with after a photo posted by Vice President-elect J.D. Vance on X (formerly Twitter) lit up social media.
The photo, taken as Donald and Melania Trump watched the New York Stock Exchange broadcast, didn’t grab attention for the stock ticker — it was Melania’s hair. A tiny detail at the back of her head appeared to show tape-in extensions, causing a flurry of online speculation.
Top stylists were quick to weigh in. Julia North, founder of Wigonia, said: “It does appear she’s wearing tape-in or beaded-row extensions… likely premium European human hair.” Another stylist, Saraphine Nurse, added: “The fullness at the ends is a giveaway. These are likely clip-ins or tape-ins — popular for their flexibility.”
Despite the debate, no one’s questioning Melania’s polish. Experts agree her color and texture work is seamless. As stylist Mia Santiago put it: “If I were a betting woman, I’d say she’s definitely wearing them.”
Melania has long been known for her impeccable grooming. Whether or not she’s using extensions, one thing’s clear — her image is carefully curated down to the last strand.
