I have a question about keratin. I once had to remove great lenghths which is Keratin and acetone did not work well at all !I was told to use A high prof alcohol. So would that not be a way to test for keratin?

It was "sold" as "hair extension keratin adhesive." I remember the product description said to remove from hair using acetone, so i figured i'd give them a try. It came out easy.   I don't know if it's actually keratin or not, but it seems to perform as keratin does

I just bought a melting pot at Joanns fabric store .It came with a little bag of glue pelets that look like those. I once tryed the craft glue sticks but they didn't stick to the hair.

"making"? lol. Nah, I bought online ?somewhere? years ago. They were
sold in 1 lb container for around $10.  I'd been tossing a handful
iin the  melting pot to melt, til i got my wand today and realized
I could just pop a pellet in the wand.  I'm sure they are easy to
find. Here's  pix.




Koffee-

What kind of glue is that, do you know? How do you get it out of your hair? They look kind of chunky. Is it too much glue for single strand applications?
