The profession, technique, or process of weaving, braiding, or attaching additional hair to a person's natural hair to change its appearance.
Gerund form of 'hairweave,' describing the action or craft of the profession. Became standardized as a professional term in the late 20th century with the growth of the hair extension industry.
Hairweaving techniques vary dramatically by culture—cornrows, box braids, and intricate West African weaving styles represent centuries of refinement and cultural significance, making this 'beauty service' actually a preservation of cultural heritage.
