How can the technician enhance the retention of eyelash extensions?

The technician can enhance the retention of eyelash extensions by ensuring proper isolation and using quality adhesive designed for longevity. Proper isolation involves carefully separating each natural lash when applying the extension, which prevents multiple hairs from sticking together and allows each extension to bond securely to a single natural lash. This technique not only prevents damage to the natural lashes but also promotes a longer-lasting hold.

Using quality adhesive that is specifically formulated for eyelash extensions is crucial for strong adhesion. High-quality adhesives are designed to create a durable bond under the conditions typically found in eyelash extension applications, such as exposure to moisture and body heat. These adhesives also have an appropriate drying time that allows for optimal bonding without rushing the technician.

In contrast, applying extensions at the wrong angle may compromise the overall appearance and retention of the extensions, as the angle can affect how well they adhere. Utilizing cheaper products typically results in lower quality materials that may not perform as well, making them a poor choice for achieving retention. Additionally, overusing adhesive can lead to clumping and improper bonding, which can negatively impact the longevity of the extensions. Thus, focusing on isolation and quality adhesive is the best method for enhancing retention.
