Understanding Glue-In Hair Extensions: Appearance, Types & Adhesive

Glue-in hair extensions are small wefts of hair that are attached to your natural hair using a special adhesive.

Here's a breakdown of how they look:

The Wefts:

* Size: They come in various widths, usually 1-2 inches wide, and lengths.

* Material: They are typically made from human hair, synthetic hair, or a blend of both.

* Color: They come in a wide range of colors to match your natural hair.

The Adhesive:

* Appearance: The adhesive is a clear, sticky liquid that dries hard and clear. It's similar to a strong, medical-grade glue.

* Placement: The adhesive is applied to a small section of the weft and then pressed onto your natural hair near the roots.

Overall Appearance:

* When Applied: Once applied, the glue-in extensions should blend seamlessly with your natural hair. The adhesive shouldn't be visible.

* Maintenance: To keep the extensions in place, you'll need to apply a special bonding solution that strengthens the adhesive.

* Removal: Glue-in extensions are generally removed using a solvent designed for that purpose.

Important Note:

* Glue-in extensions can be damaging to your natural hair if not applied and removed correctly. It's crucial to have them professionally installed by a qualified stylist.
