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:
-
Preparation:
- Cleanse the natural lashes to remove any oils or debris.
- Apply eye pads and tape to protect the lower lashes and the skin.
-
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.
-
Placement:
- Place the extension on an individual natural lash, approximately 1-2mm away from the lash line.
-
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
