How to remove dried glue from hair?
Hair glue can mean what keeps hair units in place and looks natural and realistic. However, they can also irritate you because they can be difficult to remove.
I also had a stressful time because I was in this situation. Fortunately, I have found myself a few helpful ways, such as using shampoo and conditioner or using rubbing alcohol.

Does WD 40 Get Super Glue Off Hair?
WD-40 can loosen the hold of strong adhesives such as super glue. In addition to the conventional methods (oils, acetone, and soap and water), WD40 worked better than all the other things.
You only need to massage the WD 40 into the hair, and it dissolved the glue on your hair and your fingers as well.
Conclusion
You do not need to cut your hair just because the glue is stubborn. With the methods mentioned earlier, I believe you will come out of a standstill to figure out how to glue off the hair.
Nevertheless, one thing you need to bear in mind that using too much hair glue would damage the scalp and hair (causing split ends).
Sometimes, you should use some other alternatives like using a hair weave cap and weaving the hair extensions.
