The post is very very long and a little boring, but it is very useful, so please be patient.
001 The role of eyelash extension glue
Eyelash extension glue (also called eyelash adhesive, glue) is used to bond native lashes and eyelash extensions to make the eyes looks more beautiful, bigger or charm.
002 Are all eyelash extension glues the same?
Eyelash extension glue is mainly divided into two categories.
“low-stimulation type” that reduces stimulation and “quick-dry type” that emphasizes hardening speed.
(The Lankiz extra-strong glue is the quick-dry type)
low-stimulation type
Different type of glue can be used in different ways.
Because the lower the viscosity, the slower the hardening speed, and less odor and irritation, so for the sensitive customers, should use the “low-stimulation” glue.
The harden speed may be slower, so the technician should be patient, especially for sensitive clients.
Quick-dry type
“Quick-dry” glue requires faster-grafting speed.
If the speed is too slow, it will cause the grafted eyelashes to fall off easily.
The artist should consider the customer’s physique(not sensitive) and choose a glue that is consistent with their own technology.
What is the glue make of? Why can it glue the eyelashes together?
003 What is eyelash extension glue made of?
The main component of the eyelash extension glue is cyanoacrylate. The component is below:
- Adhesive component—- Cyanoacrylate (usually 80%)
- Reinforced viscosity component—– PMMA, etc. (micro configuration to adjust viscosity and air drying speed)
- Coloring component—– Carbon black (micro configuration for coloring, highlighting effect)
Note: When the main component is not cyanoacrylate, be sure to find out what the main ingredients are.
You have known that the main component is cyanoacrylate, so what is cyanoacrylate and how many types of cyanocrylate? Please go ahead.
004 What is cyanoacrylate?
Cyanoacrylates are often used as the main component of instant eyelash adhesives.
The types of cyanoacrylates are also used in different applications, used in “industrial, medical, and general households” and have various uses.
Type of cyanoacrylate
The types of cyanoacrylates in the special glue for eyelashes are as follows:
Name
|
Characteristic
|
| Ethyl cyanoacrylate/ cyanoacrylate ethyl | Is commonly used in eyelash extension glue. The hardening speed is fast, the adhesion is strong, and the smell and irritation are also strong. Widely used in industry, medical care, and general households. |
| Butyl cyanoacrylate / cyanoacrylate butyl | Low irritation, less odor. It is slower than the ethyl group chemical composition and has a weak adhesion. |
| Ethoxyethyl cyanoacrylate/cyanoacrylate ethoxyethyl | Is the least irritating and odorless. Used to improve problems caused by ethyl cyanoacrylate and butyl cyanoacrylate and irritant and odor. It is slower than the ethyl group chemical composition and has a weak adhesion. |
Tip: Eyelash extension glue is used to bond natural eyelashes and faux mink eyelash extensions without touching the skin.
Most of the problems caused by the eyelashes are “sticking to the pores, mucous membranes” or lack of correct knowledge when grafting.
In addition, the tweezers with glue remaining are not easy to handle, and it is also possible to adhere the glue to the skin.
But once the glue touch the skin may cause the customers allergic. So be careful when gluing.
Checkpoint
Different usage methods for different types of glue, the artist generally use 2-3 kinds of glue.
When using glue, it often causes symptoms such as itching, redness, and swelling or eye damage due to “glue sticking to pores”, “too much glue”, “not completely air-dried”, and “use of metamorphic glue”.
According to the instructions, you must not “mix a variety of glue”, “replace the glue bottle”, “put it into a non-dedicated glue pad”, “dissolve the solidified glue after use” or “use expired glue”.
The store method will directly affects the life of glue, so how to store?
005 How to store eyelash extension glue?
The two main factors affect the life time is temperature and humidity.
Temperature
It is ideal when the room temperature is maintained at 25-28℃.
Stay eyelash adhesive at room temperature for 1 hour before use if stored in a refrigerator.
Humidity
The indoor humidity is about 55%.
It is also ok in 40%-70% within the allowable range.
When the humidity is above 70%, the hardening of the glue is faster, once the adhesive is hardened, the durability and strength are deteriorated.
In addition, excessive humidity is prone to condensation, which breeds mold and mites. In terms of hygiene, excessive humidity should also be avoided.
On the other hand, if the humidity is too low, the water required for the hardening of the glue is insufficient, resulting in a slow hardening rate.
Tips:
Avoid problems.
When the temperature and humidity are high in summer or low in winter, pay special attention to maintain the room temperature and humidity.
Special personnel is required to manage the glue and use special preservation methods.
Mark the date of purchase, the date of opening, and the name of the manager on the glue so you can check the expired time at any time to avoid the glue become aging old.
Adhesive aging may cause problems such as easy removal of the eyelashes and slowing the hardening rate.
When the frequency of use is often, it is best to change the new one for about 30 days.
.From above points we know that the main storing factors are temperature and humidity, so move ahead what is the storing method?
006 The use of eyelash extension glue and preservation methods
Firstly, it is the using period.
Period of use:
Instant adhesives on the market, if stored properly, some can be used even for one year, but the special glue for the eyelashes is different.
Because the use method and storage method are different, the aging speed is different, so determined the period of use.
The general principle is “unopened for about 3 months” and “within 60 days after opening”.
After opening, the glue will become viscous after a period of time, the silk will be dragged when the eyelash extension is stuck, and the hardening speed will be slow.
When the glue has begun to age, the rest should be stopped.
I often hear that “the glue is hard and can’t be used” “The glue will not stick after one week after opening.”
In fact, this is mainly because “the cap is not tightened” and “the glue on the cap and nozzle is not cleaned up”.
So if you want to keep the glue in good condition until it is used up, please store it as this post’s guides.
I can guarantee that this post is the only one you can find in the market about the glue.
preservation method:
The eyelash extension glue is typically placed in an aluminum pouch with a desiccant for sale.
In order to prevent the aging of the glue caused by moisture, it is necessary to wipe the glue and dirt attached to the nozzle and the cap, tighten the cap, seal the aluminum bag, and store it in a cool place (the dark place of 18-23℃).
When the unopened state is saved for more than 1 month:
The glue will gradually age, so to maintain good use of the glue, it is best to change it once a month.
If it is used as a backup glue, it should be stored in an unopened state for more than one month, and stored in a cosmetic refrigerator about 12℃.
However, cosmetic refrigerators do not have a humidity management function, so pay special attention to humidity management.
It can not be stored in a refrigerator or freezer for home use.
If the temperature of the refrigerator is too low, it will cause “condensation inside the glue container” and “low temperature”, which may cause the glue to age faster and may also destroy the original performance.
If there is no cosmetic refrigerator, it is best to purchase it regularly, without the need for spare glue.
Tip: Once the glue is opened, it must abide by the opening usage time.
It is not possible to store glue for a long time. Even in the unopened state, the service period is only about 3 months.
So let me make a storing conclusion as below.
007 Checkpoints to slow down the aging of glue
Point 1. Avoid high temperature and humidity place and store in a cool place (standard: 19-23℃ cool place)
Too low temperature may cause component separation or condensation.
Be sure to store the desiccant in the aluminum bag.
Point 2. Never store separately, you must install it in a formal container.
Store the glue in a special container.
It must not be packed in a general plastic container or glass container.
Point 3. Make sure the cap is tightened each time you run out
Note the following before screwing the cover:
- Do not screw in the glue that overflows the edge of the nozzle!
The bottle is tilted 45°until the glue no longer overflows.
- When the glue is no longer overflowing from the nozzle, wipe the glue off the edge of the nozzle.
At the same time, make sure there is no glue attached to the inside of the cap. If it is, please wipe it clean.
- Wipe the nozzle and the glue inside the cap and tighten the cap.
Carrying out the above inspections can not only slow down the aging of the glue but also maintain the adhesion of the glue.
Always wipe the glue attached to the nozzle
If the glue remains, the glue will age faster.
Below is the correct use and preservation of eyelash extension glue after opening.
 |  |  |  |  |
| √ Every time, clean the glue nozzle. | √ The cap must be tightened. | √ In addition to the process of grafting eyelashes, be sure to take into the bag of aluminum anti-aging. | × The cap is not tight, and the glue is aging rapidly. | × The cap is not screwed. Make sure that the cap is tightened after each use. |
If there is some mistake during the using, there may cause some damage to the clients, so please follow below methods.
008 Usage Method
1. Before applying glue, please clean the eyelashes, the makeup and dirt around the eyes. Be sure to graft them in a clean state.
2. Please dry the excess moisture in the joint with dry non-woven gauze before grafting.(Excessive moisture will accelerate the adhesion of this product and may affect the adhesion of eyelashes and individual lashes)
3. Take out the glue bottle from the special aluminum bag.
4. Shake 60 times to mix the ingredients evenly.
5. Maintain a 45° tilt angle and unscrew the cap.
6. Place the cap on a clean counter top to prevent it from falling.
7. With the container mouth facing down, use a finger to gently pinch the container and place 1 drop on the pad.
The amount of glue used to graft a customer’s eyelashes is about 1 or 2 drops.
The extruded glue will begin to bond, so it takes 10-15 minutes to squeeze out the new glue.
After the lid is opened for a few minutes.
The glue inside starts to harden and it is easy to block the bottle mouth, so tighten the cap immediately after extruding the right amount of glue.
8. Use the cleaned tweezers to clean the individual lashes.
From the root of the lashes, apply a proper amount of glue to the full length of one third.
9. The individual lashes coated with glue is attached to a portion about 2 mm away from the root, and the individual lashes’ direction is consistent with the direction of the natural eyelashes.
When the glue adheres to the roots of the eyelashes, pores or skin, it may cause inflammation, or foreign body sensation such as redness, pain, fever, etc., so it must not stick to the skin.
10. The interval between each eyelash grafting is more than 5 seconds.
11. After the last individual lashes are received, the surface will dry after about 5 minutes, but it won’t completely be dried until 6 hours after grafting.
After bonding, wash your face or bath after 6 hours, because the high temperature, high humidity environment or the stimulation of the grafted eyelashes will affect the durability of the grafted eyelashes.

009 The precautions when using
1. Do not use it outside the eyelashes.
2. Clean the adhesive part before applying eyelash extension glue.
Use special cleaning solution, special pre-treatment agent, essence water, and then use non-woven gauze to clean the eyelashes and residual makeup and dirt around the eyes.
The items should be disinfected and cleaned before use.
3. Eyelash extension glue cannot be in contact with skin and other substances (such as bags, clothes, etc.).
4. The glue will heat up during polymerization.
Excess moisture not only accelerates the hardening of the product but also generates too much heat, which may cause discomfort to the customer, so first wipe off excess moisture with dry, non-woven gauze.
5. When using, use eye protection and tape to protect the eyes.
6. When inadvertently sticking to the skin, do not pull on the skin and apply a special remover to remove it.
It is difficult to remove using water, essence water, soap, etc.
Inadvertently stick to the eyes or its surroundings, etc., if it cannot be cleaned with a remover, please use large flush water and immediately receive medical attention from a specialist.
Never rub it with your hands.
7. After grafting, use a dryer to make the glue air dry.
8. Inform the customer that after grafting, in order to make the eyelashes last longer, do not touch the grafted individual lashes, do not swim or bath for a long time, and do not expose to high temperature and high humidity.
9. Explain to the customer how to care for the grafted eyelashes and confirm the clients have understood it.
10. Use this glue in a well-ventilated place, and never use it in an open fire.
11. In the course of use, the customer or the artist should be diagnosed by a professional doctor if there is any discomfort.
12. Customers who are allergic to cyanoacrylate or formaldehyde cannot use it.
010 Avoiding the disputes
An inquiry before the grafting must be conducted.
The customer’s physical condition and skin condition are different.
Some customers may be affected by skin inflammation due to “glue, metal components of tweezers, tape, remover, chemicals and volatile substances contained in cosmetics”.
In particular, customers with allergies become sensitive and itchy around the eyes and around the eyelids due to their physical state or seasonality.
At this time, if you graft the eyelashes, it may cause symptoms such as dermatitis, and grafting should be stopped.
Rubbing eyelashes or eyelids during the grafting process may damage the skin, mucous membranes or eyeballs.
Customers who should be reminded of the first eyelashes should be especially reminded to avoid rubbing their eyes.
Direct rubbing of individual lashes or glue into the eyes can easily damage the skin, mucous membranes or eyeballs. Rinse with water.
Tell the customer if the body feels uncomfortable after grafting, consult a specialist.
011 What should the artists do if the customers are allergic?
1. Emphasize to the customer in advance, if there is any discomfort after grafting, contact the eyelash extension salon as soon as possible.
2. Tell the customer if the eyes or skins are uncomfortable (itching, foreign body sensation, redness, etc.), please consult a specialist (dermatology, ophthalmology, etc.)
3. Tell the customer not to “touch, rub”, itching and other discomforts.
4. Help the customer until the symptoms improved.
