How to work with an eyelash glue in the summer heat

The result of a high-quality eyelash extension depends on the climate in the workroom. Temperature and humidity during treatment directly affect the polymerization process of the adhesive composition. In this article we have compiled tips for working with glue in hot times.

THE ESSENCE OF THE PROBLEM

Many people recommend swapping out your usual eyelash extension glue for a slower-drying one, but slower doesn't always help in the summer heat. High room temperatures affect the performance of the adhesive and do not allow a drop of adhesive to remain liquid for the prescribed time (up to 20 to 30 minutes). Too thick glue does not penetrate into the ridges of the eyelashes, so it gets a bad hold and as a result, the eyelashes do not stick well. It is necessary to control the conditions in the working room. A drop of glue will remain in a liquid state only when humidity and temperature are checked.

WHAT HAPPENS IF THE HUMIDITY IN THE EYELASH SPACE IS NOT RIGHT?

In dry air, the adhesive does not polymerize as desired. As it hardens, it absorbs moisture from the air.

With high humidity, the glue for eyelash extensions hardens too quickly, even before the stylist has time to adjust the artificial eyelash to the natural one. This will make it stick to the almost frozen glue. Customers' eyelash extensions fall off either right after the extension when combing or a few days after the treatment. That's why you have to be careful with an eyelash extension glue in the summer heat.

SOLUTION FOR BEST WORK RESULTS IN THE SUMMER HEAT

HYGROMETER FOR EYELASH EXTENSIONS

Be sure to monitor the temperature and humidity in the room with a hygrometer. This smart product informs about the temperature and humidity, especially in the summer heat. If both meet the requirements of the glue, then the eyelash extensions will be great.

HUMIDIFIER AND AIR CONDITIONING

Many eyelash stylists like to work with high quality air conditioners. Air conditioning in the study is very good, but it also dries the air. Therefore, we recommend a humidifier to compensate for this.

REGULAR VENTILATION OF THE WORKROOM IN SUMMER HEAT

Ventilation helps to lower the temperature in the room by a few degrees. Make sure to air the room for a few minutes before the customer arrives. We recommend airing the room beforehand, as this may affect the glue of the eyelash extensions while working. Thick curtains can help keep the room from getting too hot.

COLD STONE FOR EYELASH GLUE

Many stylists often forget about this important tool. A cold stone maintains a low glue drop temperature for a long time. An eyelash extension glue in the summer heat can work even better if the stone is placed in the fridge for 10 minutes before work. It will then last even longer at low temperature. The drop of glue evaporates more slowly and stays liquid and usable longer.
