Strips of material or thread to which hair is sewn for a hairpiece are known as?

  1. Extensions

  2. Tracks

  3. Wefts

  4. Bonds

The correct answer is: Wefts

Strips of material or thread to which hair is sewn for a hairpiece are known as wefts. Wefts are typically used for creating wigs, hair extensions, and hairpieces. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately describe this specific type of hair installation process. While extensions are used to add length or volume to natural hair, they are not always attached to strips of material or thread. Similarly, the term tracks refers to the braided section of hair onto which the hair extensions are sewn or glued, but it does not specifically refer to the strips of material or thread used for hairpieces. Lastly, bonds usually refer to the small glue or keratin bonds used to attach individual hair extensions to natural hair, and not to the strips of material or thread used for hairpieces. Therefore, option C is the best description for the term being asked in this question.
