Olive Oil
Use of olive oil is one of the most effective solutions for removal of hair extension glue from the air. Take two parts of olive oil and one part of warm water. Mix them in a squirt bottle and apply on the extension glue. Leave the fluid for about 20 minutes before starting removing the glue with your fingers. -

Let Extension Softened
If you are unable to remove hair extension after leaving the olive oil with warm water in first attempt, do not push harder with a brush or fingers to remove the extensions. It is better to leave the olive oil on the hair for another 10 or 15 minutes. When you see the hair extension is softened, you can easily remove them with your fingers. In case you use force to separate the extensions there is a possibility of damaging your hair. -
