Being a professional, you certainly want to give your clients great results in every session when you apply lash extensions. You may need to adapt your work technique in order to achieve this or use a different glue, depending on the season. Find out which factors influence the glue’s effectiveness and how you can choose the right one so that you get the best results in any season!

Why should you choose the lash glue depending on the season?

Climate changes can influence the performance of the glue and also your workflow. If you have a preferred eyelash extension glue, it’s possible that you noticed that it works slightly different during the summer and winter. This is due to multiple factors, such as:

Temperature

The Ambiental temperature can affect the glue’s drying time. During cold seasons, when the temperature is low, the glue can require more time in order to totally dry up. This can create difficulties when you are trying to position and adjust the lashes accordingly, because the glue is less adherent. If this happens, you can choose a glue that has a quicker drying time or you can use a temperature control system for the room or a fan to speed up the drying.

On the other hand, during hot seasons, the high temperature can cause the glue to dry up faster. This can be problematic during the applying phase, because it can make it harder to correctly adjust and position the lashes before the glue permanently dries up. This can also happen during winter, if the temperature from your heaters is too large. If this happens, you can choose to use a glue that has a slower drying time or you may work in cooler areas in order to extend the work time.

Humidity

Studies have shown that the optimal humidity level so that the lash glue functions correctly is between 40-60%. Generally, the humidity varies during seasons and it’s higher in the spring and summer and lower in the cold seasons. That’s why it’s important to consider the humidity level specific to each season and use the correct glue.

In order to adjust expectations and applying techniques depending on the humidity level of the season, you can check the producer’s recommendations. For example, during the summer, when the humidity is high, it can be necessary to reduce the amount of glue that you use or use a formula that is specially adapted for this period.

What options are there?

There is a wide variety of glues for lash extensions on the market, each having different characteristics. In order to choose the right one, you must take into account your experience level, the temperature and humidity from the work room, but also the drying time that the formula offers. Here are some recommendations.

Summer glue

During the hot season, you need a special glue that is designed to handle the increased humidity, which will ensure a good hold for the lash extensions and will give you a durable result. If you have enough experience, you can choose a glue with a medium drying time, of 1-1.5 seconds, like the Barhat Opulent glue.

 



The skin can be more sensitive and predisposed to rashes during this period, so it’s recommended that you use this lash glue together with a hypoallergenic formula, which will help reduce the unpleasant reactions and will also offer a superior comfort when wearing the lashes.

Winter glue

There are a few specific characteristics which a lash glue has to have to be fit for use during the cold season. Among these are an increased resistance to low temperatures, its flexibility and ability to adapt to reduced humidity. The best choices here are glues which are based on cyanoacrylate which allow a precise applying during these conditions.

In order to maintain the quality of the lash glue over the winter season, keep it in a dry and dark space, avoid exposing it to cold air and use a humidifier in the work space. Also, for an accurate applying of the lashes, you may need to preheat the glue, use a small amount and be more careful with the preparation and cleaning of the natural lashes.

All season glue

 

 

An all season glue is especially designed to be used during any season. It has a formula that can adapt to temperature oscillations and humidity levels specific to each season, which gives it a good hold and a long life span, no matter the weather conditions. Besides, this formula is resistant to water, sweat or sebum, and thus will maintain the lash extensions intact for a long period of time.

Also, an all season glue is easy to apply and remove, so it gives you a better control during the applying phase. Because you won’t have to change the formula depending on seasons, you can save time and resources.

In closing, it’s important to adapt your work technique and the products that you use in order to get excellent results, which will in turn give the highest degree of satisfaction.
