Have you ever been unsure about which eyelash extension glue to choose?
Eyelash extension glues have various characteristics, such as "viscosity" and "drying speed," making it essential to select the right glue based on your application needs and environment.
Here, we'll introduce some helpful tips to find the perfect glue for your needs!
1．Choose glue suitable for your working environment
First, consider the environment where you perform your applications and select a glue that matches those conditions.
＜For Eyelash Extension Salons＞
The following glues are recommended for specialized eyelash extension salons:
-
The Glue213
Smooth texture with outstanding fast drying (1 second).
-
The Glue111
Ultra-smooth and easy to use (2–3 seconds).
-
The Glue084
Moderate viscosity and quick drying (2–3 seconds).
-
The Glue061
Low-irritation type with slightly lower retention compared to other glues. Moderate viscosity (4–5 seconds).
＜For Hair Salons＞
If you are working in a hair salon environment where hair coloring or perm treatments are performed, consider these glues:
-
The Glue037
Moderate viscosity with a drying speed of about 5 seconds (drying speed may increase with ammonia concentration).
Recommended for:
Hair salons with frequent hair coloring or perm treatments.
Salons where fast-drying glue is too challenging to use.
-
The Glue093
Moderate viscosity with a drying speed of about 5 seconds (drying speed may increase with ammonia concentration).
Recommended for:
Hair salons with moderate hair coloring or perm treatments.
Salons that need slightly faster drying glue.
＜For Salons Offering Lash Lift Services＞
For salons that also perform lash lift treatments, the following glue is ideal:
-
The Glue057
Medium viscosity and beginner-friendly (4–5 seconds).
2. Select drying speed and viscosity that match your technique
Next, choose a glue that suits your application speed and skill level.
For slower application speeds
If you work at a slower pace, using fast-drying glue may cause retention issues, as the glue may dry before attaching the extension. Choose a glue with higher viscosity and a longer drying time.
For faster application speeds
Fast-drying glues are ideal for quick application. The shorter the drying time, the more efficiently you can work.
Steps to Choose the Best Glue
Start by selecting glue that matches your working environment.
Then, choose the drying speed and viscosity that fit your technique and application speed.
By following this approach, you’re sure to find a glue that’s perfect for you!
When in doubt, refer back to these points to make the right choice for your needs.
