Choosing the best lash extensions glue is not easy

How the glue works depend on weather conditions and humidity.

The most important part is the speed of your work. If you work quite quickly, you would prefer a faster-working glue. A faster glue would be one that bonds in 0.5 to 1 second.

If you work slower and you need more time to attach and position a lash extension in the correct direction, you may want to look for a slower bonding glue. Ideal glue for someone who does not work as fast will bond in 2 to 3 seconds.

We should take temperature and humidity under consideration too.

If you work in a place with higher humidity, anything above 50%, your glue will work faster anyway. Higher the humidity, the faster your glue will work. So on a rainy day, your 2-second glue will bond in 1.5 seconds to 1 second 🙂

You can expect your glue to work best in humidity between 45-55% and temperature between 20-22’C.

You may also notice that you will need to pick up a little bit more glue when the temperature gets higher.

A few more things you need to remember when using your lash glue

Do not store an open bottle of glue in a fridge. Low temperature and high humidity will cause it to set in the bottle, and making the glue useless.

Before each use shake the glue vigorously for at least 10-20 seconds.
After each time you use the glue, wipe off the nozzle of the glue bottle properly, to avoid the screw top getting permanently glued to the nozzle.

Use a new drop of the glue every 20-30 minutes.
If the lash glue cured very fast, it will leave a white residue on the surface. This is called blooming and does not affect the bonding effectiveness of the glue.
