There's nothing new under the sun .... even, it seems, when it comes to hair "weaves."

Researchers recently found the remains of a woman who died 3,300 years ago in Egypt -- with intact hair extensions.

The primitive weave was, surprisingly, well-preserved after 3,300 years. The body was wrapped in a mat and not mummified, as traditions called for centuries ago. Perhaps because of the condition of her body, researchers from the Armana Project were able to piece together 70 extensions fastened in different layers and parts of her head - the first weave! -- according to an article in the Journal of Egyptian Archaeology.
