What is a common mistake to avoid when working with new adhesive products?

When working with new adhesive products, it is crucial to test them for compatibility with both the natural lashes and any other products being used during the eyelash extension process. This testing helps to identify any potential adverse reactions or issues, such as irritation or an incompatibility that could lead to the adhesive not adhering properly or affecting the longevity of the eyelash extensions. Ensuring compatibility also allows the technician to understand the specific characteristics of the new adhesive, such as drying time and flexibility, which can vary significantly between different brands or formulations.

While using new adhesives immediately may pose risks, it is the lack of compatibility testing that particularly highlights the need for a careful and informed approach. Storing adhesive at room temperature is generally appropriate for most products, and changing brands frequently without compatibility checks can create confusion and inconsistency in application. The practice of testing adhesives ensures a safer and more effective experience for both the technician and the client.
