Bonding: Bonding is a temporary and less expensive method for sticking extension. Tracks of hair are glued to roots of natural strands with a special adhesive. To prevent damage for natural hair, tracks shouldn't be left for longer time for a week or two. The biggest problem of this method is removal. Oil and heat are used to dissolve the glue which takes a long time for removal. If glue is not removed properly, it damages the natural beauty.
