A major part of the eyelash extension application process is using the right type of glue. Let's learn more about it: What kind of glue is it? Can it be used at home? Can it be replaced with something else?
First thing's first - the eyelash extension glue a technician uses at the salon is not the same glue you would use at home for false lashes. While your falsies are meant to come off after a few hours, a technician uses permanent eyelash adhesive to apply extensions.
The glue is called permanent (which really, is the strongest type of glue), but the lashes won't be stuck on your eyes forever – just 4 weeks, when your natural lashes should come to the end of their growth cycle and fall off. However, you can rest assured that your individual eyelashes glue won’t allow your extensions to come off halfway through. In fact, they will hold even longer than that, depending on the glue type; it’s just that natural lashes fall after 4 weeks, and an infill is required, at that point. But they will look gorgeous until the client goes back in to get them done.
The other thing to know is that professional lash glues like this have different setting times and different strengths, which we’ll talk more about in a minute. This preferred setting time depends on the skill and level of experience of the technician. A beginner will take longer to apply each lash, so they will be better served by a glue with a longer setting time. A more experienced professional will benefit by a fast-acting glue, because they work faster.
The thing to remember about professional eyelash adhesive it's that it is not recommended for anyone to use it at home. Eyelash extensions should only be applied at a reputable salon, by a trained and skilled technician. One should not attempt to glue eyelashes on themselves at home, or on someone else, using glue for eyelash extensions. It's a procedure that requires a high degree of skill, and if you do not apply them properly, you risk damaging your natural lashes in the process, or even hurting your vision.
The other thing to keep in mind is that the long-lasting eyelash adhesive professionals use cannot be replaced with something else. So, for example, if a client were to notice extensions falling out naturally, they should not attempt to glue them back on with regular lash glue, or with eyelashes extension glue.
Now that you know what you shouldn't use, you may be wondering what strong individual lash adhesive professionals use.

All the glues currently available in the Stacy Lash line are black, though some brands offer clear lash adhesive used mostly for color lashes.
While eyelash extensions can be the low-maintenance option compared to creating a full makeup look every day or applying regular falsies, there are still some maintenance steps you need to respect, mostly to make sure you are keeping the glue intact:
If you want to keep your long-lasting eyelash adhesive perfect until the end and maintain the extensions in pristine condition, there are a few things that can be done to protect them:
As you can see, using the right glue with eyelash extensions is very important, so always make sure the right professional glue is used and that you maintain it properly at home.
