Which of the following are sewn to elastic strips in a circular pattern to fit the head shape?

Clip-ins
Ponytails
Wefts
Wigs

The correct answer is: Wefts

The correct choice is based on the construction and design of hair extensions known as wefts. Wefts are strips of hair that can be sewn onto a base, typically made of either fabric or elastic, which allows them to be attached securely around the head in a way that follows the contours and shape of the scalp. This technique is commonly used to create styles that appear natural and seamlessly blend with a person's own hair. When wefts are sewn to elastic strips in a circular pattern, they provide a solid foundation for a fuller hairstyle, enabling better coverage and volume. This method is widely used in various hair application techniques, such as sewing extensions for braids or making wigs that can be secured to the head easily. Other options, such as clip-ins and ponytails, may involve attachment methods that are not specifically designed to fit the head's shape in a seamless, circular manner. Clip-ins are typically used for temporary styles and do not require sewing, while ponytails are styles created using the hair itself rather than upon a base. Wigs, while they can be designed to fit the head, are generally not made in the same manner as wefts attached directly to elastic strips.
