Hot Glue and Hair Extensions

Question: I have been thinking about getting extensions but they are so expensive, so I wanted to know if it was safe to buy the hair and a glue gun and do the single strands myself. If so, how long would they last? Can I wash them? Are they easy to take out and will they damage my hair? I really need some advice on this. Let me know if you have done this before, and what the results were or what you think about it.

Answer: Absolutely not! Please do not put hot glue in your hair. I would recommend that you go to a hair stylist if you want extensions or any chemicals put in your hair. However, there is glue that is specially made for hair that you can get at any hair supply store, but I have heard and see this glue damage a lot of hair.

You also can put clip on hair pieces in your hair, which will not damage your hair, or you can have a hair stylist sew in your hair extensions...anything but a hot glue gun.

Sincerely,

Stacy L. Davis
