How to Buy Real Glue Hair Extensions

Hair extensions can be glued or sewn into your natural hair. You have the option of purchasing real hair or synthetic hair extensions from a beauty store. Real glue-in hair extensions are easier to work with because synthetic extensions tend to be slippery. Synthetic hair extensions can also melt when exposed to heat, which is a problem because you will need to use a hair dryer in order to set the hair extensions.

Instructions

1. Visit your local beauty supply store. Stores such as Sally Beauty Supply, for example, are most dependable for real glue-in hair extensions.

2. Look for wefted hair extensions. Wefted extensions are extensions that are connected at the top. In order to glue the hair extensions, you will need them to come in wefts.

3. Choose hair extensions that match your current hair color. Buying the appropriate hair color will help you conceal that you have added hair extensions.

4. Decide on what length of glue-in hair extensions you would like to use. Extensions come in many different lengths and you will need to know ahead of time approximately what length will work best for you. If you are unsure, purchase your extensions 2 to 3 inches longer than your estimate. You can cut the extensions later.

5. Buy hair extension glue that that works with the color of the extensions. Glue generally comes in yellow/white or black. You should choose the lighter colored glue for lighter colored hair and the black glue for darker tones.
