Primer / PH Balance
After cleansing the lashes you can apply a small amount of primer to a microfibre brush and apply this across the lashes at the base where the glue will sit.
Usually a cleanse and rinse is all that’s needed to prep the lashes before the lash application.
Top Tip – Use primer sparingly if required on clients who are having retention issues.
Lash Extensions bonding
The common bonding types are traditional, corrective, and wrap around.
Approach each lash from the angle it makes most sense and gives you best access. For example if you have an extremely curly natural lash you don’t want to try and bond the extension to the top of it as you’ll be fighting with the curl. Instead approaching from underneath gives you better control of direction. Ensure the base of the extension is secure with the base of the natural lash for the best attachment.
Once the extension is dipped bring it to the natural lash at the exact angle you want to attach it.
Place the lash on to the natural lash focusing on the strongest bond between the base of the extension to the base of the natural lash.
Hold for 1-2 second, and release.
You will need to adjust your technique when using different glues for example if using a thin glue you may need to adjust and use a little more, be sure to not overuse the glue as a seamless finish is required.
Top Tip – Rotating your wrist while your lash is in the tweezers just before you attach the lash extension to the natural lash will help you find the best angle for the attachment.
Retention Products
Retention products are applied to the glue line when the full set is complete to make the glue fully dry. This will ensure the glue is fully cured straightaway making your clients lashes water and oil proof. You will only require a small amount of a retention product on your microfibre brush. Too much can cause the glue to go white & shock cure.
