How to properly use lash Glue: : Tips for a Clean & Secure Hold

Correct lash glue application is essential for beautiful, long-lasting extensions. Knowing how to apply glue properly avoids mess and guarantees a solid connection, whether you're a lash artist or performing your own at-home extensions. Let's examine the best practices for preventing spills, applying product precisely, and maintaining a clean nozzle, similar to the enhanced approach in the reference image. 

Why Proper Lash Glue Application Matters

Too little glue causes lashes to lift too soon, while too much glue produces clumping, itching, and poor retention.

✔Stronger hold: Extensions remain in place longer when applied neatly and carefully.

✔ No sticky residue: This keeps the nozzle free of sloppy, solidified glue.

✔ Safety & Comfort: Lowers the possibility of discomfort from too much glue. 

Step-by-Step Guide to Applying Lash Glue 

1. Prep the Lashes

• Use an oil-free cleaner to get rid of oil and debris from natural lashes.
• Before applying glue, separate the lashes with a microbrush or lint-free applicator. 

2. Choose the Right Glue

• Choose a delicate, low-fume lash adhesive if you have sensitive eyes.
• When exposed to moisture or humidity, use a waterproof lash glue.
• For experts: The finest lash extension adhesive is one that dries quickly and has a firm grip. 

3. Apply Glue Correctly (Avoid Spills!)

✅ Do’s:

• To activate the glue, give the bottle a good shake for ten to fifteen seconds.
• Apply a little drop on a metal palette or adhesive ring.
• Just a tiny bead of glue is required; delicately dip the base of the extension into it. 

❌ Don’ts:

• Directly squeeze into lashes to produce more glue.
• To avoid clogging the tip and wasting product, let the glue dry on the nozzle.

Pro Tip: To keep the nozzle clean, wipe it right away with a lint-free wipe if glue falls on it, as seen in the "before" picture. 

4. Place the Lash Properly

• Position the extension 1 mm from the eyelid using tweezers.
• To allow the glue to adhere, hold for two to three seconds.

5. Seal & Set (Optional)

• Use a waterproof top coat and lash bond for further grip.
• For a whole day, stay away from water, steam, and oils.

How to Keep Your Lash Glue Nozzle Clean

The nozzle can become clogged by messy glue spills, as seen in the reference image. Observe these guidelines: 

🔹 Clean after each usage. To get rid of residue, use alcohol wipes.

🔹 Store upside down to avoid the tip drying out.

🔹 Replace caps securely – Keeps glue fresh and nozzle clean.
