A similar circumstance appears to be happening for Melania Trump after the vice-president elect shared a photo on X (former Twitter). Since the photo was shared on December 13, the upcoming First Lady’s hair has been the focus for many.
JD Vance’s photo of Melania and Donald Trump
As mentioned above, JD Vance shared a photo on X. He showed the behind-the-scenes snapshot of the Trumps at the New York Stock Exchange, with the caption:
Ready to ring the bell on the New York Stock Exchange.
President Trump will lead a great American comeback!
The photo features the back of Melania and Donald’s heads while looking at a television. However, as per OK!, social media users questioned Melania’s hair, with one person commenting ‘Shocking’.
What's so shocking? Well it seems as though Melania's hair extensions can be seen in the photo. A tiny detail that is now being extensively covered in the media.

Hairstylist on Melania Trump’s hair extensions
Hair extensions are nothing new in the world of celebrities, as pointed out Julia North, hairstylist and founder of luxury wig brand Wigonia. She told Daily Mail that Melania likely used extensions for ‘added volume or length’.
She explained that extensions are often used by ‘public figures’ to allow for ‘versatile styling’ but still keeping ‘natural movement’.
This is actually a very common choice for public figures because it allows for versatile styling while maintaining natural movement.
Adding:
This is a smart approach that many high-profile clients use to protect their natural hair while maintaining their signature look.
She also explained to the tabloid that by looking at the photo, the mum-of-one is likely wearing ‘tape-in or beaded-row extensions’, adding that she’s probably wearing ‘premium quality, European human hair extensions’.
Looking at that specific photo, yes, those appear to be tape-in or beaded-row extensions. I'd say she's likely wearing premium-quality, European human hair extensions, probably 18 to 20 inches in length.
It isn’t unusual for public figures to be scrutinised for anything, from appearance to the way they speak. Moreover, before marrying Donald Trump, Melania was a model, therefor the media focused highly on her appearance.
This scrutiny comes amid rumours that Melania will not reside in the White House alongside her husband. However, the president-elect has recently denied these rumours.
