An imported wool fiber used in hair extensions with a matte finish is known as?

  1. Rayon

  2. Cotton

  3. Lin

  4. Silk

The correct answer is: Lin

Wool and silk are both natural fibers that have a glossy or shiny finish. Cotton is a plant-based fiber and rayon is a synthetic fiber, neither of which are typically used in hair extensions. Lin is also a natural fiber, but is known for it's matte finish, making it the correct answer for this question. It is often used in hair extensions to mimic the texture and appearance of natural hair.
