All about eyelash extension glue - Eyelash manufacturer teach you how to choose the correct glue
According to the feedback of Our Lash customer service, there’re many girls not very clear about the difference of the different glues and adhesives. Today Our Lash will make a most comprehensive popular science of the lash glues, hope it can help you a little in your selections.
At present, the glues on the market can be roughly divided into eyelash extensions glue, strip lash glue and individual lash glue. Others like magnetic eyeliner glues are for magnetic lashes and the pen like eyeliner glues are for traditional strip lashes, we’ll not talk about these two here.
Eyelash extension glue VS Strip lash glue
***Eyelash extension glue, which is used for grafting eyelash extensions by certified lash artists, usually with the words “professional use only” and packed without a brush head because the glues need to be pour out on glue trays and need some skills to work with, usually the extension lash glues can last 30-45 days, and can be divided into many sub-categories, like 1 second dray suitable for skilled lash artists, 2-3 second dry for beginners and also black color & clear color options.
***Strip lash glues are used for sticking strip lashes, usually used by makeup artists or girls who apply strip lashes at home, it’s milder than lash extension glues because they’re made to stick on your eyelid instead of on lashes, so many ingredients are quite different from lash extensions, strip lash glues are usually packed into a tube and with a brush tip for applying. Usually strip lash glues can last only 12-24 hours.
Eyelash extension glue VS Individual lash glue
Here individual lash means the lash segments, also called cluster lashes, individual strip lashes, different from the individual lash extensions (also called classic lash extensions).The apply method is also different from lash extensions, so the glues used for individual lashes are different from eyelash extension glues as well. Never use lash extension glues for your individual lashes because it’ll harm your eyes. Individual lash glues are usually need to be used together with the sealant which can make your individual lashes last more than one week, and the distributors usually sell them with a remover as well , which will make it easier to discharge the individual lashes.
Strip lash glue VS individual lash bond
Strip lash glues and individual lash glues are packed in same tubes, strip lash glues are usually with a pen-like brush tip, and individual lash glues are with a mascara brush tip. Now we know we cannot use lash extensions glues for either strip lashes (3D mink lashes or 3D faux mink lashes) or individual lashes, because lash extension glues are produced to attach to real lashes, the other two glues are produced to attach to eyelids, a mix use may cause immeasurable damage.
But can I use strip lash glues for individual lashes? Or Can I use individual lash glues for strip lashes?
The answer is –Yes. This may different from what you learn from other where, but indeed you can use either glue for either lashes, just if you use strip lash glues for your individual lashes, it cannot last overnight, and you need discharge makeup everyday as well. The secret for individual lash bond last longer is the sealant, theoretically with the sealant your strip lashes will last longer as well, but maybe a little difficult to handle, and it’s also a little expensive to use strip lashes only once while it can be used 20+ times.
