What makes a good Lash Extension Liquid?

A good lash bond adhesive is crucial for achieving long-lasting and reliable eyelash extensions. Several factors contribute to making an adhesive effective and desirable. Here are some key qualities to consider:

  • 💪🏼 Strong Bonding – A high-quality lash bond adhesive should have excellent bonding strength, ensuring that the extensions adhere securely to the natural lashes.
  • 🍃 Quick Drying Time – A good adhesive should have a quick drying time, allowing the lash artist to work efficiently and reducing the waiting time for clients. A faster drying time also minimizes the chances of lashes sticking together or getting displaced during the application process.
  • ⌚ Longevity – The longevity of lash extensions greatly depends on the adhesive’s performance. A good adhesive should hold the extensions in place for an extended period, typically lasting through a full lash growth cycle, which is about 6 to 8 weeks. This ensures that the lashes remain intact and maintain their appearance for an extended period.
  • 🧘🏼 Flexibility – Lash bond adhesives should possess some degree of flexibility to accommodate the natural movement of the lashes. This flexibility prevents the extensions from becoming rigid or easily prone to breakage, ensuring comfort and a more natural look.
  • 👃🏼 Low Fumes and Irritation –  Adhesives with low fume emission are highly desirable for both lash artists and clients. Low-fume adhesives reduce the risk of eye irritation and discomfort during and after the application process, making the overall experience more pleasant.
  • ☀️🌦️ Retention in Different Climates – A good lash bond adhesive should be able to withstand various environmental conditions, even in humid or dry climates, preventing premature lash extension fallout.
  • 🥰 Safety and Hypoallergenic Formulation – A good adhesive should be formulated with hypoallergenic ingredients to minimize the risk of allergic reactions or adverse side effects.

Remember, the choice of lash bond adhesive may vary depending on individual preferences and specific requirements. It is always advisable to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and consult with professionals for the best adhesive suited to your needs.

Theres More Liquids to Consider

Primer: Primer is used to prepare the natural lashes before applying lash extensions. It helps to remove any oils, debris, or residue on the lashes, ensuring better adhesion of the extensions. Primers typically come in liquid form and are applied using a micro brush or applicator.  For this, we recommend checking out the Curematic Primer. Curematic can be used with any adhesive and help speed up the dry time of even the slowest beginner sensitivity and clear adhesives.

 

Remover: Lash extension remover is used to dissolve and remove lash extensions when desired. It is formulated to break down the adhesive bond without causing damage to the natural lashes. Removers may come in gel or liquid form and are applied with precision to the lash extension bonds.  Check out our Cream Remover here.

Primer and Sealant Combo: Some lash extension liquids combine the functions of a primer and sealant into a single product. These multipurpose liquids can be used both before and after the lash extension application to prepare the lashes and provide a protective coating.

Lash Cleanser: Lash cleansers are specially formulated liquids designed to clean and maintain lash extensions. They help to remove dirt, debris, and makeup residue without compromising the adhesive bond or causing damage to the lashes. Lash cleansers are typically applied using a brush or lint-free applicator.
