Remove Glue from Hair Extensions Wefts
Taking off your glued-in hair extensions may not be too tricky, but removing the sticky mess left on the weft can be quite a challenge! Unfortunately, lingering glue on the wefts can prevent you from re-using the extensions. To get plenty of wear out of your extensions, remove all traces of glue from the tracks after each use. You can apply heat using a hair straightener, or use acetone to remove stubborn glue.
Using Heat Grab a thin piece of cloth.
An old t-shirt is perfect for this, but you can use a thin towel or whatever you have access to. Use a cloth that you dont mind ruining. Stick to fabrics like cotton and terry cloth.

A flat iron hair straightener is the best way to approach this, but you could use a regular iron in a pinch. The heat is whats important! Give your flat iron or other heating element a few minutes to heat up. Place the piece of cloth over the glued part of the hair weft.
Work in small sections that are a few inches 7 to 10 cm in length. Put the thin cloth right over the section of glue. Make sure it covers the back of the weft, too. Youre essentially sandwiching the glued part in between the cloth. Enclose the wrapped weft in the hair straightener.
