[the DSC result shows] that there is no melting in th[e] temperature range [up to 200 °C]. That means that the fusion process when the composite is formed, is based on something else than melting. It can be the water which is present, it acts as a plasticiser during melting, and allows fusion of hair. 

[T]he water in combination

with pressure then causes to "glue" it kind of together more than it is melting itself ?

[...] Yes the water/moisture might act as somekind of plasticizer which fuses the material.
