A must-read for any level of experience artist!

Lash extension adhesive is a crucial component in achieving a high-quality set of lashes. Proper care of your lash adhesive can greatly contribute to the longevity and retention of the lashes. Here, we will outline the essential tips for caring for your lash extension adhesive.


01 SHAKE THE BOTTLE OF THE ADHESIVE BEFORE USE:


Just like shaking a bottle of liquid foundation before use, it is important to shake your lash extension adhesive before starting a new set. Lash adhesive contains cyanoacrylate, along with other complex compounds such as stabilizers, thickness, curing agents, and pigments, which can separate over time due to differences in density.

To ensure optimum performance and preservation of the adhesive, shake the bottle for at least two minutes before starting the application. Shake the bottle horizontally instead of up-and-down to prevent glue from forming in the nozzle and potentially sealing the lid shut.


02 PROPER USE DURING THE FILL:


To prevent cross-contamination, do not make direct contact with the surface to which you are dispensing the glue drop. After dispensing the glue drop, it is important to "burp" the glue to remove air bubbles, which can shorten the life of the adhesive. Gently squeeze the glue bottle after dispensing a drop to get rid of the air bubbles and prolong the shelf life of the adhesive.

Wipe the nozzle with a lint-free nozzle wipe immediately after use. Do not use lint or cotton products to wipe the nozzle, as it may cause a chemical reaction. To maintain the longevity of the adhesive, always close the lid tightly instead of just covering the nozzle with a lid. Avoid contact with moisture when the adhesive is not in use.


03 PROPER STORAGE:


Typically, an opened adhesive has a shelf life of four weeks. To maintain the adhesive in its optimum condition, store it in a cool, dark place immediately after use. Keep the glue in a sun-blocked container with a silica gel when not in use.

The humidity and temperature in the room can greatly affect the performance of the lash adhesive. To maintain optimal temperature and humidity levels, we have included a helpful tip in the article below.


SPECIFICS OF WORKING WITH LASH EXTENSION ADHESIVE


What should be taken into consideration? How does humidity affect lash extension adhesive?

Lash extension adhesive contains cyanoacrylate, which is the main ingredient responsible for the quick drying and long-lasting hold of the lashes. However, cyanoacrylate only starts to cure in the presence of moisture. In simple terms, humidity acts as an "activator" for lash extension adhesive.

How does humidity affect the drying speed of the lash adhesive? Manufacturers regulate the drying speed of lash adhesive by fine-tuning the amount of cyanoacrylate and hardeners in the adhesive formula. Understanding the impact of humidity on your lash adhesive can help you achieve the desired drying speed and achieve a high-quality set of lashes.
