The errors that prevent
good retention
eyelash extensions
Introduction
Retention is one of the biggest challenges in the field of eyelash extensions. Many lash artists believe it all depends on the glue used... however, the reality is much more technical.
Poor retention is never due to a single factor; it is often the result of several cumulative errors, sometimes invisible, but which directly impact the hold of the extensions.
Mistake 1: Insufficient preparation
of the natural eyelash.
The foundation of good retention always begins with perfect preparation.
An eyelash that is not properly cleaned (sebum, makeup, dust) prevents the glue from adhering correctly.
COMMON MISTAKES
Quick or neglected cleaning
I forgot my eyelash shampoo
no primer
solution
Clean thoroughly with a
lash shampoo
Dry your eyelashes thoroughly
use a suitable primer if
necessary
Error 2: POOR GLUE MANAGEMENT.
Glue is a technical element, not magic.
Improper use impacts the garment.
COMMON MISTAKES
too much glue
not enough glue
glue used too slowly
drop not renewed
solution
adjust the amount of glue
work quickly (respect for the
setting time)
change the drop every
20-30 minutes
drop not renewed
precision is essential
Error 3: Non-compliant working conditions
adapted (humidity / temperature)
Many female technicians are unaware of this point...
And yet it is crucial.
The glue reacts directly to the environment.
COMMON MISTAKES
unstable temperature
working without adapting your glue
under the conditions
no environmental measures
drop not renewed
solution
use a hygrometer
comply with the conditions
recommended by the glue
adjust if necessary
(humidifier/
(dehumidifier)
The environment influences the polymerization of the glue
Error 4: Poor eyelash insulation
natural
Imperfect insulation can ruin the entire installation.
COMMON MISTAKES
stick several eyelashes together
work with precision
work too fast
solution
isolate each eyelash perfectly
work with precision
check the installation regularly
Good insulation = a clean and durable installation
Error 5: Incorrect placement of
the extension
Placement plays a key role in retention.
COMMON MISTAKES
extension placed too far from the
base
bad angle
not enough contact surface
solution
respect the natural angle of the eyelash
stick at the correct distance
(approximately 0.5 mm)
to ensure good contact between
extensions and eyelashes
Technique makes all the difference
Error 6: Customer habit
(external factor)
Even with a perfect pose, the client influences retention.
COMMON MISTAKES
touch the eyelashes
sleeping on your face
use fatty products
not cleaning your eyelashes
solution
give clear advice after
the pose
educate the customer
provide a maintenance guide
Retention is also a two-person job
