Ins and Outs About Lash Extension Primer
When it comes to achieving flawless lash sets and exceptional retention, the secret often lies in the preparation—and that’s where a high-quality lash extension primer comes into play. Whether you’re a seasoned lash artist or just starting out, understanding how and why to use a primer can make a remarkable difference in your lash extension results.
What Is Lash Extension Primer?
A lash extension primer is a pre-treatment solution designed to clean and prepare the natural lashes before eyelash extension application. It removes any remaining traces of oil, makeup, and dirt that can interfere with adhesive bonding. Think of it as your insurance policy for better retention and a smoother application process.
Why Use I AM Lash Primer?
At I AM Lash PRO, we understand the importance of a strong lash foundation. That’s why we created the I AM Lash Primer—a must-have in every lash artist’s kit.
This clear formula with a sweet strawberry scent not only smells amazing, but it also delivers professional-grade performance. Specifically formulated for oily, thick, and healthy natural lashes, this primer enhances glue performance and lash retention for long-lasting, beautiful sets.
Key Benefits of Lash Extension Primer:
- Deep Cleansing: Effectively removes oils, makeup residue, and dirt.
- Cuticle Opener: Softens the lash cuticle for superior adhesive bonding.
- Enhanced Retention: Creates a stronger, longer-lasting bond between natural lashes and extensions.
- Quick Drying: Speeds up adhesive curing time, making your application process more efficient.
- Perfect for Oily Lashes: Ideal for clients whose lashes tend to hold oil and affect retention.
When Should You Use It?
Use lash extension primer as part of your pre-treatment routine, after cleansing and before application. It’s especially recommended for:
- Clients with oily or thick lashes
- Warmer seasons when clients may sweat more
- Situations where better glue performance and retention are needed
How to Use Lash Primer Like a Pro
Applying lash extension primer correctly ensures maximum benefits while keeping your client safe and comfortable. Follow these simple steps:
- Cleanse the natural lashes thoroughly using a lash cleanser and water to remove surface oils and debris.
- Apply a small amount of the I AM Lash Extension Primer to two micro brushes.
- Remove any excess product to prevent dripping or product running into the eyes.
- Position one micro brush under the natural lashes and the other on top (you can also use a wooden spatula underneath for extra control).
- Gently brush the lash extension primer across the lashes, focusing on the areas where the adhesive will be applied.
- Do not rinse. Let the lashes air dry completely. (You can also use Mini Fan)
- Proceed with eyelash extension application only when lashes are fully dry.
Lash Pro Tip: Less Is More
Using too much lash extension primer can cause irritation or weaken the bond rather than strengthen it. Always use a minimal amount and ensure the product doesn’t come in contact with the skin or eyes.
