Lash glue is the heart of every lash set — but not every glue fits every lash artist. Choosing the right adhesive makes your work faster, cleaner, and helps every lash set last beautifully.
🌸 1. Choose Glue Based on Your Experience
- Beginners: Use a slow-drying glue (2–3 seconds). It gives you time to adjust the lash placement and reduces clumping.
- Intermediate lash artists (1–2 years of experience): A medium-drying glue (1–2 seconds) offers strong retention and smoother application.
- Professional lash techs: Choose a fast-drying glue (0.5–1 second) — perfect for quick, precise work and advanced techniques like volume or mega volume.
2. Factors That Affect Lash Glue Performance
- Humidity: The ideal range is 40–60%.
- If the air is too dry, glue dries slowly and bonding weakens.
-
If it’s too humid, glue cures too fast before proper attachment.
- Room temperature: Keep it between 20–24°C (68–75°F) for best performance.
- Storage: Store glue in a cool, dark, and dry place — ideally in a zip bag with silica gel. Once opened, use within 4–6 weeks.
- Application speed: Even with good glue, if your speed doesn’t match its drying time, retention will suffer.
3. Tips for Cold Climates (Like Iceland)
Cold and dry weather can slow down glue curing and affect bonding.
To balance this, choose a glue that’s 0.5 seconds faster than the recommended drying time.
You can also use a humidifier or nano mister to create the ideal environment for your lash glue.
✨ 4. Final Thoughts
Understanding your skill level, environment, and glue behavior is the key to creating beautiful, long-lasting lash sets.
Don’t just follow trends — choose the adhesive that truly fits you.
