How Often Should You Change Your Lash Glue Drop? A Must-Know Guide for Lash Artists
When it comes to flawless eyelash extensions, the quality and timing of your lash glue usage can make or break your results. While product choice matters, how often you change your lash glue drop during treatment is just as important. This guide breaks down the key timing, best practices, and why fresh lash glue is essential for strong retention and client satisfaction.
Why Changing Your Lash Glue Drop Matters
Your lash glue begins curing the moment it’s exposed to air and humidity. Even though the drop may still appear usable, its bonding strength is already degrading. This leads to weak attachment, clumping, and poor lash retention.
Using fresh lash glue ensures a smooth, precise application and long-lasting results.
How Often Should You Change Your Lash Glue Drop?
As a rule of thumb, replace your lash glue drop every 15–20 minutes. However, you should adjust based on your room conditions and product type:
- In warmer or more humid environments, your lash glue will cure faster — so switch it out every 10–15 minutes.
- Using a fast-drying lash glue like our I AM Lash PRO ADDICT means you may need to refresh more often.
- A smaller glue drop dries out quicker, especially if left in open air.
The fresher your lash glue, the better your bond. Don’t risk poor retention by stretching out a drop too long.
Pro Tips for Managing Your Lash Glue
- Dispense lash glue onto a jade stone or glue tray to help maintain optimal consistency.
- Always recap your lash glue bottle between drops to prevent exposure.
- Avoid double-dipping or touching the drop with tweezers to prevent contamination.
- Store your lash glue in a temperature-controlled glue container to extend shelf life and performance.
