Among fashionistas, there are supporters and opponents of the eyelash extension procedure. Despite the proven technologies that have long since become safe, disputes do not subside. And the main argument against is the possibility of an allergic reaction. However, with strict adherence to the rules and instructions, understanding all the subtleties, there is not the slightest problem.
And for this you need to contact a qualified lashmaker in a beauty salon.
Not everyone knows that the artificial hairs themselves are completely safe. For their production, hypoallergenic polymers are used that do not emit toxins even at high temperatures in the sauna.
Trouble can deliver the wrong glue. It is its components, in most cases, that cause irritation and swelling.
How to choose the right adhesive, and by what signs can hypoallergenic products be distinguished? Read in this article.
Types of glue for eyelash extensions 2022
There are only four types of raw materials from which modern adhesives for eyelash extensions are made.
- Latex powder.
- Silicone from organosilicon components.
- organic resins.
- Sap of rubber trees.
Each master chooses the compositions that are most convenient for him. The susceptibility of the client to the adhesive components is also taken into account.
What is the difference between hypoallergenic and resistant adhesives?
Manufacturing companies offer a wide range of adhesives for eyelash extensions. They differ in composition, properties, drying speed and duration of action. In order not to harm health, it is necessary to navigate in this abundance of products, to clearly know how the adhesive compositions differ from each other.
First of all, you should be guided by a simple rule: the more durable the glue, the less natural and safe components it contains.
In order for the adhesive mixture to set faster and fix artificial hairs for a long time, cyanoacrylate is added to it. It is this substance that is responsible for the speed of coupling, the duration of action. That is, the more it is in the composition, the stronger the eyelashes stick, the longer they please the hostess with their impeccable appearance.
However, it has negative properties:
For the first time, eyelash extensions using modern technologies were carried out in Korea in 2004. It was there that an innovative method of fixing artificial material to natural hairs was tested.
- has almost instant effect. Compositions with its content within 90% harden within 1-2 seconds. That is why only highly qualified lash makers can work with highly resistant adhesives;
- it is a reactive ingredient. During the reaction with water, vapors are released that cause allergic reactions on the skin and in the respiratory tract, swelling, inflammation, and redness of the eyes. An allergy to the active ingredient can be traced in one person out of a hundred;
- with a decrease in the concentration of the component in the composition of the glue for eyelash extension, the rate of its polymerization drops sharply. Instead of 1-2 seconds, the master has to hold the hairs for 5-10 seconds. And the wearing time is reduced from 2 months to 14-20 days.
To make hypoallergenic glue, brands reduce the amount of cyanoacrylate in the recipe to the lowest possible levels. That is, a truly hypoallergenic glue cannot have high resistance and setting speed.
Today, advertising both resistant and hypoallergenic adhesives is disinformation, a marketing ploy designed to increase sales.
The natural ingredients that make up eyelash glue are also not completely safe. Despite the fact that the products are positioned as natural, they are not suitable for everyone.
Clients often have allergic reactions to latex, resins, pigments. Therefore, the choice of a suitable adhesive must be approached with all attention and caution. For the first time the compositions used are recommended to be checked beforehand.
Experienced lash makers take into account the characteristics of different compositions in their work, focusing on the condition of the client’s eyelashes and skin, the selected effect and volume. So, for classic extensions with sensitive skin, it is best to use gentle products.
And Hollywood or triple volume requires more reliable lineups. Silicone adhesives are recognized as the safest and optimal in terms of comfortable work.
Safety Rules When Using Hypoallergenic Eyelash Extension Glue
To protect the client and the master from the negative effects of the adhesive components, a number of rules must be observed.
- If eyelash extensions are performed for the first time or an unfamiliar brand is used, an allergy test should be performed. The master builds up several hairs, similar to natural ones, on one eye. After that, you need to pause for one to three days. If redness, itching, swelling and other signs of allergy do not appear, the drug is harmless to this client.
- It is necessary to observe the utmost accuracy of movements when tying glue and fixing cilia, since the glue should not get on the skin or in the eyes.
- The lower eyelids and eyelashes, if they are not involved in the extension, are closed with patches. The hairs themselves are glued with an indent of 0.5-1 mm from the roots. Drops accidentally on the skin must be removed immediately.
- Glue on the eyelash is collected in the minimum required amount, no more. Droplets that are too large increase evaporation and polymerize for a long time.
- In the room it is desirable to maintain a certain microclimate that prevents the rapid evaporation of the adhesive. The temperature is set at around 20-220, and the humidity level is 40-60%.
- After applying the drop to the working surface, the vial itself is tightly closed. Store glue at room temperature, in a dark place.
- Do not use rings when working with strong types of glue, as the hands are close to the face and respiratory organs. The master needs to protect himself with a wet mask, which polymerizes the glue particles, preventing them from entering the lungs.
- It is necessary to ventilate the room after each session. The best option is to install a hood over the workplace of the lashmaker.
Also, it is very important to choose certified products from reputable brands. Subject to all conditions, the extension procedure goes without any complaints, and the fashionista can enjoy magnificent eyelashes with amazing volume.
