Eyelash extensions are a popular beauty trend that can enhance the length, curliness, fullness, and thickness of natural eyelashes. The glue used to attach these extensions is a crucial component of the process. This blog post will delve into the world of individual eyelash extension glue, providing you with all the information you need to know.
Eyelash extension glue, also known as lash adhesive, is a strong bonding agent used to attach the extensions to the natural lashes. The main ingredient in any lash glue is cyanoacrylate, which is also the main ingredient in all super glues. However, the type and percentage of cyanoacrylate used in lash adhesive and super glues are different.
There are many different types of adhesives available in the market. They are targeted at different lash artist levels, glue cure times, and viscosities of glue. Most glue cure times will range from 1-4 seconds, depending on the speed you lash at and your lashing environment.
A general rule to follow is:
Lash adhesives generally have a short shelf life once opened. Once the glue bottle is opened, it is exposed to moisture from the air which will start to cure the glue. So, it is important to store your glue correctly, in an air-tight container, in a cool, dark environment and away from direct sunlight.
