Tips on How to Care For Your Adhesive

Taking care of your adhesive is important for maintaining its maximum effectiveness. After all, we spend lots of money on it every couple weeks! Here are some tips for caring for your adhesive:

  1. Make sure your adhesive matches the temperature and humidity of your environment and your speed.
  2. Store your adhesive in a cool, dry place and to keep the cap tightly sealed. We recommend keeping it in a secure, airtight container.
  3. When applying your lash extensions, use a fresh drop of glue every 15-20 minutes! Once the glue becomes stringy and the consistency changes, then it’s time to change it. Failing to do so can cause retention issues.
  4. At the start of your day, shake your bottle for at least 2 minutes. Shake the bottle of glue for at least 30 seconds to 1 minute before every use to ensure a consistent, even application. You want to make sure all the ingredients are mixed properly. If you don’t want to shake it by hand, we offer a glue shaker that does the work for you!
  5. After dispensing your glue drop, make sure to burp the bottle of glue to release any excess air bubbles in the nozzle. Wipe the excess glue off with only lint free wipes to avoid getting any lint on the nozzle.
  6. Replace your glue every 4 weeks after opening it. Always write down the day you opened it so you know when to throw it out.

Now, you’ll know what to look for when searching for the right adhesive. At the end of the day, only you can decide what factors are important to you. It’s all trial and error and you may have to test out a few to find the right one. Once you find the perfect glue for you, the feeling is like no other!
