How to Choose the Best Eyelash Extensions Glue

Choosing the right eyelash extensions glue can be tricky, as it depends on factors like weather, humidity, and most importantly, your speed of application.

Glue Speed Based on Your Work Pace
The key factor in choosing the right glue is how quickly you work. If you’re a faster lash technician, you’ll need a quick-drying glue. Look for a glue that bonds in 0.5 to 1 second. However, if you work at a slower pace and need more time to position each extension, opt for a slower bonding glue, which takes around 2 or even 3 seconds to set.

Your working environment also plays a big role.

In higher humidity (above 50%), lash glue will naturally bond faster. For example, on a rainy day, a glue that usually bonds in 2 seconds could set in 1 to 1.5 seconds! The ideal working conditions for most lash adhesives are a humidity level between 45-55% and a temperature range of 20-22°C.

Also, as temperatures rise, you may need to use a little more glue to get the best results.

Don’t store glue in the fridge once it’s open. The cold temperature and high humidity inside can cause the glue to set prematurely, making it unusable.

Shake the bottle for at least 10-20 seconds before each use to ensure the ingredients are well-mixed.

After using, wipe the nozzle clean to prevent the cap from sticking and permanently sealing the bottle shut.

Refresh your glue drop every 20-30 minutes to maintain its effectiveness.

If you notice a white residue on the lash extensions after application, this is called blooming, which happens when the glue cures too quickly. Fortunately, blooming doesn’t affect the glue’s bonding strength.
