Lash Adhesives & Removers

The eyelash extension adhesive and remover should be from the same brand and safe for use together.   

Many are manufactures may not comply to UK regulations so be sure to check that the brand you are using complies with UK regulation and EU regulations and is labelled correctly for sale in the UK.

When a brand is following the correct regulations this means that the methods of manufacture and the ingredients do not change from one production batch to the next and the adhesives are bottled and packaged in a certified environment.  

Top Tip –   It is super important to know that the products are safe for your clients. 

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LASH GLUE
The active ingredient in all eyelash extension adhesives is cyanoacrylates.  When this comes into contact with moisture in the air it forms a chemical reaction and polymerases forming a chain reaction and solidifies.  This is called ‘curing’.

Most adhesives with fumes are –
Ethyl – They have a fast curing rate and are a strong strength sometimes with strong fumes.

If your relative humidity is too high (moisture in the air) the eyelash adhesive will not cure correctly and shock polymerization takes places.  This results in a weaker bond with the natural lash and the adhesive will not remain flexible when cured and it could be brittle.  The adhesive could have cured on the lash even before you place the extension onto the natural lash resulting in the adhesive not bonding.
If the relative humidity is too low then the curing time will be slower as there is not enough moisture to ‘cure’ the eyelash adhesive and again your client will have poor retention.
