UV lashes are a revolutionary technique for applying eyelash extensions. They utilize UV light to cure the adhesive, resulting in firmer and longer-lasting lash extensions. Here’s how it works:

1. Preparation:

   • Cleanse the natural lashes to remove any oils or debris.
   • Apply eye pads and tape to protect the lower lashes and the skin.

2. Mapping and Placement:

   • Map out the extensions according to the desired style and length.
   • Pick up an extension with tweezers.
   • Dip the base of the extension into the UV adhesive. Use a minimal amount of glue, as a little goes a long way with this technique.

3. Placement:

   • Place the extension on an individual natural lash, approximately 1-2mm away from the lash line.

4. Curing with UV Light:

   • The adhesive used for UV lashes is not a traditional adhesive; it’s a polymer.
   • This polymer will not cure until it’s exposed to UV light.
   • The UV light wavelengths cause a photochemical reaction, changing the polymer’s chemical properties.
   • As a result, the polymers harden almost instantly, and the adhesive sets in no time.

Safety Tips:

• There’s no evidence that UV lash glue is harmful but follow standard precautions.
• Use specialized removers for lash removal.
• Ensure the glue only goes where intended before turning on the UV lamp.
• Maintain a safe distance from the lamp and wear UV safety glasses.

Remember, UV lashes offer a convenient and efficient way to achieve stunning lash extensions! 🌟¹²
