Curious on how to make your client's eyelash extensions last longer?
Step 1: Primer
Step 2: Lash Adhesive
Lash adhesive can be so tricky because there is so much you honestly NEED to know so you are using the glue the best you can before it gets old. Here are the most important gems you need to know starting with Drying times.
- Drying time is determined by speed. If you are a beginner lash artist and move at a slower pace an adhesive that dries at a slower speed is suitable for you. (Ex: 1-2 seconds, 2-3 seconds even 4 seconds). Drying time is determined from the moment the adhesive touches the natural lash and stays in place. NOT from the time the adhesive leaves the bottle.
Following your adhesive Temperature and Humidity range will help you know if your glue can survive in your lash space and if it can't manipulating the air quality of that particular area is going to help with the performance.
- All lash adhesive are created with an ingredient named Cyanoacrylate. Cyanoacrylate (rapidly polymerizes in the presence of water to form long strong bonds.) So if there is tons of moisture in the air it speeds the adhesive curing process and if there isn't enough moisture in the air it slows down the adhesive curing capability which can slow down your lash speed.
Step 3: Bonder
Bonder helps your lash adhesive cure. Working without bonder prevents your customers eyes from burning and turning red. Customers hate eye irritation and the more comfortable they are when getting their lashes done the more likely they will continue to come back.
Using bonder also helps the lashes stay on 4+ weeks!
Step 4: Sealant
Sealant is just as important as bonder but what makes this product so special is that when you apply it to your customers lashes line it protects the lash adhesive bond and makes the lashes waterproof and helps them stay in place and indestructible.
This product is so powerful because clients can also use this once a week on themselves in between appointments. This improves the lash retention to 6-8 weeks and improves the adhesive bond.
