If youโre a lash technician, youโve probably encountered "lash stickies" during or after the lash extension process. These occur when two or more lashes, either natural or extended, get stuck together due to adhesive. Stickies can cause discomfort for clients, and if left untreated, they can lead to lash damage. Here's why lash stickies happen and how to solve them to keep your clients' lashes looking flawless!

The most common reason for lash stickies is improper isolation. If the natural lashes are not properly separated before applying extensions, adhesive can bind multiple lashes together, leading to clumps.

Applying extensions too fast without waiting for the adhesive to fully set can cause lashes to stick together. Speed is important, but quality should always come first!

Using too much adhesive not only increases the risk of stickies but also makes the lashes look bulky and unnatural. Itโs essential to apply just the right amount to avoid clumping.

Using an adhesive with a drying time that doesnโt match your speed or environment can lead to stickies. If the glue dries too slowly or too quickly, it can affect lash separation.

Perfecting your isolation technique is key. Use high-quality tweezers and ensure each natural lash is completely separated before applying the extension. This prevents multiple lashes from getting glued together.

As you apply extensions, keep checking for stickies by lightly brushing through the lashes. Doing this regularly throughout the process can catch any lashes that may have accidentally stuck together.

After applying the extensions, use your tweezers to gently separate any lashes that might have stuck together. Taking the extra time for this step ensures a smooth and comfortable final look.
