Conditions for applying the lash extensions

The lash extensions is one of the highest regarded procedures from the beauty industry. The techniques and materials are updated constantly and the list of known brands that produce high quality lashes is growing more and more every day.

In order for the extension procedure to be painless, hygienic and correctly done, some special conditions have to be met both in the salon, but also at home:

  • While applying the lash extensions, you use a safe cosmetic glue, which we will talk about more later. So the glue can correctly dry, we need air, so lash extensions have to be applied in a well ventilated space.  
  • In order to polymerize the glue’s contact it needs to have contact with slightly alkaline surfaces, this is why the relative humidity from the space has to be kept between 40 till 60%, at room temperature. The low humidity conditions of the air can inhibit the process of sticking the lashes, while higher conditions can negatively impact the final result: the lashes will simply fall off. In order to determine the level of humidity, you can use a special hygrometer that records various indicators. (you can find it here https://www.barhat.ro/produse/higrometru-termometru/41 )
  • The glue’s packaging and also other lotions have to be well shut and kept in a dry room with a temperature between 15-25 degrees Celsius. The boxes shouldn’t be directly exposed to sunlight or to sudden temperature swings, it’s important to have a stable storage temperature. The glue hardens when it comes in contact with the air’s humidity, this is also, a thing to take into consideration. An opened glue package is okay for usage for 1,5-2 months; in the hot summer days, this is reduced to 3-4 weeks.
  • Don’t store the glue or other materials in the fridge. It’s best to adjust the air’s humidity using special humidifiers for your room, to air the salon multiple times a day and to maintain the temperature under 25 degrees.
  • The extension specialist recommend gluing the lashes with clear and precise motions in order to not overexpose the glue. For this, it’s important to have a special space that’s fitted for your work. The client needs a comfy bed and also a pillow to fix the head’s position.
  • It’s also important to have really good lighting in the room where you’re doing the lash extensions, but at the same time, you must avoid direct sunlight falling on the workplace itself. It’s necessary to use high quality makeup lamps, which have an adjustable height, incline and lighting levels. https://www.barhat.ro/cauta?q=lampa+cosmetica
  • A technician that deals with lash extensions has to keep close by all the materials required for this, as well as a well-organized workspace and also to maintain the material, equipment’s and the room’s overall hygiene. Disposable gloves, antiseptic, the materials worked with great attention is the guarantee of a quality procedure. Without these, it’s borderline impossible to guarantee a safe procedure, that poses no threat to the client’s beauty and health.
