If you are a beginner or intermediate lash artist, switching to a slower drying adhesive such as Smart Adhesive would be a good idea.
There should be no oil build-up or makeup residue on your client’s natural lashes. If necessary, give them a thorough lash bath.
Ensure your glue is fresh (i.e. opened within the last 4 weeks) and always store it in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. If the glue goes bad it will take on a stringy appearance and will not adhere well to your client’s lashes.
Increase or decrease the temperature and humidity in order to control the drying time. If the glue is drying too slowly, raise the temperature to speed up the curing process. If it’s drying too fast, lower the temperature.
Dispense a fresh drop of adhesive every 15 – 20 minutes during the application.
Be sure to get the proper base attachment, at least 2mm, without any gaps between natural lash and extension.
Ensure you use the right amount of glue. Too little will result in poor retention, too much can cause the lashes to stick to each other. Use a small bead of adhesive for classic lashes. When using Premade fans, dip only the bottom 2mm of the fan in the adhesive.
