Styling doll's hair with glue

Searching on the web for doll's dresses tutorial I found this post on a blog: http://1-6thsensedolls.blogspot.com/2010/05/flow-it-show-it-long-as-god-can-grow-it.html#more. The author says that he use thinned white glue to keep on place doll's hair. I have some Barbie dolls customization project that will surely benefit from a strong fix (my cosplay dolls are intended just for showing, not for playing, this is my Obitsus task), but I can't understand what is "white glue". The only white glue I use here in Italy is "Vinavil", a vynilic adhesive for wood, paper and cardboard. It become transparent drying, so I think it can be this infamous "white glue", but I'm not sure. So I'm asking for advices here. Someone has ever used vinylic glue or other kind of glue for styling? Or any other substance? There are contraindication? As already said, I intend to use such a drastic method only on my custom works intended only for showing.
