"Hi, my name is Lauren and I'm here to discuss how to bond hair with glue. First off, there are two types of extensions. There's synthetic, which is probably your least expensive route to go. The hair is made and it is not good for a heating style. You can not use a thermal straightener on it and any sort of very hot thermal tool. You can blow dry your hair, whenever you have to use more or lukewarm or cool heat in order to not burn the hair. Synthetic hair can not withstand heat the way that your natural hair can. Natural hair extensions are natural hair and are formed with the same carotene proteins, and the same bonds as your natural hair is. Bonding with glue and/or wax, you would grab one little piece of hair and you want to do small sections. You would then, grab your piece, wet that your going to put in. You would attach it at the root using that wax or that glue and using heat in order to melt the bond, and in order to encapsulate your hair shaft. You can add either length or volume hair using hair extensions. As your hair grows in your going to have to replace the expounded extensions that you have in your hair by going to your local stylist. They will then break that bound off and replace them. That way your hair, as it does grow and get longer, your natural hair will get nappy by the root and kind of start to really twirl around itself and get really knotty. Bonding hair to your hair is not the greatest of thing for your hair, for your actual, natural hair. It does because they get the intense heat they need for the glue. Also, because it almost causes a strangulation of your actual hair. It is a good thing to play with. i don't recommend keeping them forever but you can! In fact, use them and wear them healthy for quite some time, and that is have two bonds of hair."
