You are here: Home > To Glue Or Not To Glue


Extension adhesives are described in many ways just to avoid the word "GLUE". “Fusion”, “bonding”, and “strand-by-strand” are just a few. (And KERATIN. . .you may be thinking "cool". . but I'm thinkin' BALONEY. . ."Like, exactly where do they get that protein?")


If someone is melting a substance to bind the extension hair to yours, they’re using a type of glue. If it's not a form of adhesive, how could it possibly hold these hairs together?

Example: It used to be taboo in the industry to call bleach "bleach". Salon etiquette stated that the term "lightener" should be used, as it sounded softer, therefore more appealing to the client. (Actually, it’s not even a real word…) Come on! We all know its bleach! If bleach is needed to get the look you want, then "Hey, use bleach!"

Your alternatives to gluing methods usually require some degree of tension. (This includes synthetic hair attachment as well.) Not always, but often, these methods can be severely uncomfortable for someone not used to wearing their hair tightly braided, woven, knotted, or bound in tiny little subsections. Imagine this plus the additional weight of your new hair.

If neither of these sound appealing, there's always clip-on additions, wiglets, falls, etc. which can be very fun and versatile.

All methods of hair extensions take an initial adjustment time. For some, tension methods work great. Other people can only tolerate the non-tension application of a glue method.

Here's the point: don't be fooled by words. It's time to get your glue on!
