How to correctly attach lash extensions ...

Attach lashes 0.5mm away from the skin along the lash line

Extensions must be placed along the natural eyelash, 0.5mm away from the skin along the lash line.

If the lash extension is placed too close to the skin, the glue can actually seep into the skin and cause pain, as well as the lash can rub every time that the client opens and closes their eye. This can be extremely uncomfortable and may even lead to swelling, redness, and puffiness to the eye area.

Secondly, if the lashes are attached too far out along the natural lash, it leaves a visible gap. When this happens, dirt and oils can become trapped underneath the lash extension. As a result, the lashes can pop off prematurely. You can even catch the new lash set on your lash brush and pull it off.

Make sure the base of the extension is fully attached

No matter what curl, length, the direction you use, it’s important to make sure the base of the lash extension is fully attached to the natural lash, at least 2mm.

If you’re not careful, you can place it at the wrong angle and the base of the natural lash can stick up. When this happens, dirt and oils can become trapped underneath the lash extension. As a result, the lashes can pop off prematurely. You can even catch the new lash set on your lash brush and pull it off.

Some natural lashes grow bent or sideways. You might be tempted to lash on every single lash, but for the sake of better attachment, leave them out! 

The 90-degree rule

The 90-degree rules simply mean that each eyelash extension should be placed at a 90-degree angle. Make sure you attach the lash at a 90-degree from the eyelid Instead of following the natural lashes’ direction or your body position towards the client.
