Ever wonder why people are suddenly sporting "crazy colored" hair extensions?

This trend is becoming much more than just a fashion statement. Women, children, and even some men (yes, men!) have been spotted wearing colored extensions in their hair. The reason behind their rainbow hair is a good one - they're representing their favorite charity!

Celebs love this trend, too. It's a great way to add fun and funky colors to your hair while donating and campaigning for charity.

Here's a list of some popular charities and their coordinating extensions:

RED - Project Ladybug

According to Project Ladybug's Facebook page, The Ladybug Fund is "a new initiative to provide an important resource to seriously ill
pediatric patients and their families as they face lengthy treatment regimens." Dina Manzo, a cast member of reality show The Real Housewives of New Jersey, is the charity's founder and face of the company. Caroline Manzo  and Teresa Guidice - both of Housewives fame - also wear a red extension to support the charity.

PINK - Pink Hair For Hope

Perhaps the most popular color for hair extensions is baby doll pink, largely recognized as the color of the National Breast Cancer Foundation and the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. Pink Hair For Hope has raised more than one million dollars to fight breast cancer and can be found in more than 375 salons.

PURPLE - March For Babies

Developed by the March of Dimes, the March For Babies is a three mile walk in which participants form teams, accept sponsors and donations, and walk in the name of charity. The March For Babies mission is to "improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality." Jaqueline Laurita, also from RHONJ, is a spokesperson for the campaign.

BLUE - Autism Awareness

Throughout the month of April, salons across the country sell and apply blue hair extensions in support of Autism Awareness. The donations go to support many organizations including the National Autistic Society that fund autism awareness, research, prevention, treatments, and advocacy. Actress Holly Robinson Peete supports Autism Awareness and the face behind the Light It Up Blue program.
