Tips for Choosing and Using the Right Adhesive for Summer Eyelash Extensions
With the hot weather just around the corner, we wanted to give you some top tips on choosing and using the best adhesive for creating your lash sets during the warm and humid time of year. Proper adhesive selection is crucial for maintaining the longevity and integrity of your client's lashes.
LEVEL UP WITH QUALITY ADHESIVES
As lash techs, we only settle for the best, right? Opt for adhesives that are specifically formulated for lash extensions and have a solid reputation. Look for ones that can withstand the summer heat and humidity, ensuring your clients' lashes stay flawless.
CONSIDER THE DRYING TIME
When the temperature rises, drying time becomes crucial. We recommend choosing an adhesive with a slightly slower drying time to minimise the risk of the glue becoming sticky or runny.
INGREDIENTS MATTER
Before choosing any adhesive, review the ingredients to ensure they're formaldehyde-free and low on fumes. This helps minimise the risk of irritation and discomfort for the client. If you have clients with sensitive eyes or known allergies, consider using sensitive or hypoallergenic adhesives for that extra peace of mind.
KEEP IT FRESH
Heat can take a toll on adhesives, so store them in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight. Avoid unnecessary exposure to high temperatures, as it can compromise the adhesive's effectiveness. And don't forget to replace your adhesive regularly, approximately every 4-6 weeks, to maintain optimal quality.
EDUCATE YOUR CLIENTS
Share your knowledge! Inform your clients about the impact of summer weather on their lash extensions. Advise them to avoid excessive exposure to water, steam, saunas, and prolonged sunlight, as these factors can affect retention. Empower them with proper aftercare instructions, so they can enjoy their luscious lashes all summer long.
Remember, the well-being and satisfaction of your clients should always be your top priority. By using the right adhesive and following these tips, you can ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for your clients during the summer season.
