If you’re experiencing issues with your eyelash extension adhesive, we’re here to help. We’ve compiled a list of five frequently asked questions to guide you on how to properly care for your adhesive to ensure the perfect bond.
- What is the best way to store my lash adhesive? To maintain the freshness of your lash glue, store it upright in a cool, dry, and dark space with a temperature lower than 75 degrees Fahrenheit and low humidity. Do not store it in the refrigerator as it can cause moisture to get into the formula, degrading it. Consider using our Lil’ Love Shack storage container, specifically designed to vacuum-seal and protect your adhesive from environmental factors.
- What is the shelf life of my eyelash glue? Unopened adhesive can last up to three months if stored correctly. Once opened, the adhesive has a shelf life of four to five weeks. Replace the bottle if it becomes stringy or thick.
- When should I shake my eyelash adhesive? Shake your adhesive for two minutes at the beginning of the day, when opening a new bottle, and before dispensing each drop. Make sure to shake it vigorously to ensure a proper mix. Avoid shaking it with the cap on, and use a pin to remove any blockages.
Don’t forget to “burp” your bottle to remove any air bubbles that can trap humidity in the nozzle. Turn the nozzle upside down and gently squeeze to release any air bubbles after dispensing a drop.
- How do I clean the nozzle of my lash extension glue? Use lint-free and cotton-free wipes to clean the nozzle each time you dispense adhesive to avoid any residue buildup. Consider using our Adhesive Wipes for a hassle-free solution.
- How often should I change my adhesive drop? Change the adhesive drop every 15-20 minutes while lashing. Watch out for signs such as developing “skin” or becoming stringy, indicating it’s time to replace it.
