Top 5 Mistakes Lash Masters Make with Lamination Glue
Master the adhesive, master the result. Why your lamination isn't lasting and how to fix it.
Lamination glue is the backbone of any lash or brow lift procedure. It’s the tool that defines your "canvas" before the chemical solutions do their work. However, even experienced stylists often struggle with inconsistent results. If you’ve faced issues like lashes popping off the shield or a messy, clumped finish, you’re likely falling into one of these five common traps.
1. Ignoring Room Temperature and Humidity
Adhesives are highly sensitive to their environment. If your salon is too warm, the glue will dry too fast. If it’s too humid, the bond may become brittle.
2. Using Too Much Product
A thick layer of adhesive creates a barrier that prevents solutions from penetrating the hair cortex effectively.
3. Not Cleaning the Bottle Tip
Residue around the neck allows air to enter, causing the glue to thicken and lose its bonding power.
4. Rushing the Lash Alignment
Trying to fix the alignment after the glue starts to "tack" creates stress on the hair and a messy finish.
5. Neglecting the "Tension" Rule
If the glue isn't holding lashes tight from the root, the final curl will look droopy.
