Morphology

hairweaving = hair + weave (transparent) = hair + weave + ing

Formed from the compound 'hair' + 'weave' with the deverbal nominal/gerund suffix '-ing'; the meaning 'the process of weaving hair' is directly derivable.

Etymology

Hairweaving is made of hair and weaving, and a helpful way to remember it is to think of cloth weaving, where threads are crossed to make fabric ('to cross threads to make cloth'). So, hairweaving means weaving a hairpiece into a person's own hair so it looks natural.
