Defined as artificial or natural hair extensions that are attached to the crown or back of the head to create extra volume, "bumpit hair" is a styling technique that has become increasingly popular. An example of bumpit hair is observed in celebrities such as Paris Hilton who often wears it to enhance their overall appearance.
Bumpit hair has gained relevance due to its ability to provide instant volume and lift to fine or flat hair. It is a versatile technique that can be used for various hairstyles and occasions. Historically, the bumpit was invented in 2007 by celebrity hairstylist Sarah Potempa as a way to add volume to her clients' hair without teasing or using harsh chemicals.
