Have you ever faced that frustrating moment when your Lami Glue Balm just doesn’t hold the lashes in place as it should?
You’re not alone.
Balms are sometimes tricky to work with if you don’t take into account several factors that affect how the balm interacts with different products and lashes themselves.
Today we are discussing the top three reasons why your Lami Glue Balm might not be performing as it should and how you can turn things around for flawless lash lift results.
This revolutionary Lami Glue Balm, known for its nurturing blend of Argan, Jojoba, and Avocado oils, does more than just set lashes in place–it treats them with care throughout the lifting process.
Reason #1: The timing
When Lami Glue Balm is applied, its adhesive properties are activated, starting the process of securing the lashes. This is where timing becomes crucial. The adhesive needs just the right amount of time to bond with the lashes, but this duration varies based on lash thickness and environmental factors.
Different lash types will react differently to the Lami Glue Balm. For instance, thicker lashes require a longer exposure time for the balm to penetrate and adhere effectively, while finer lashes glue quicker.
Next, the conditions in your salon, such as humidity and temperature, heavily influence the setting time of the glue. Higher humidity can speed up the curing process, while lower humidity slows it down. Adjusting the exposure time based on these variables is crucial to ensure that each lash lift is effective and lasting.
Adjusting the exposure time of Lami Glue Balm according to these factors is key to a successful lash lift. It ensures the lashes are properly positioned and held on the shield, allowing the perming and fixing solutions to work effectively on the keratin bonds, shaping and setting the lashes.
Reason #2: Even distribution
This step is as vital as the choice of product itself. Why? Because even application is key to effective adhesion and stunning results.
Here’s what you need to remember – Lami Glue Balm’s adhesive strength relies heavily on its interaction with each lash. When it’s applied unevenly, the lashes won’t adhere properly to the shield, leading to inconsistent lifts.
Using a tool that allows you to apply the balm evenly across all lashes, especially at the base where they are denser, will ensure each lash is evenly coated from root to tip. A fine-tip applicator like Permalift’s Isolator Comb is your best friend here.
Ensuring an even coating with Lami Glue Balm will not only secure the lashes in place but also enhance the overall lifting effect, leaving your clients with beautifully curled lashes every time.
Reason #3: Shield size
Choosing the right shield size directly impacts how well the Lami Glue Balm adheres. Too large, and the lashes won’t stick properly – too small, and the lashes may over-curl creating an unnatural look.
It’s a balance of finding the perfect fit for each unique eye shape and lash length.
The ideal placement for the lashes on the shield is when they reach the edge or just 1 mm less.
If the lashes are too far from the edge, downsize the shield by 0.5 for better results.
This minor adjustment will dramatically improve the outcome of the lash lift.
To ensure you have the perfect fit for every client, it’s worth having a range of shield sizes at your disposal. Brands like Katya Vinog offer a variety of shield sizes, allowing you to customize the lash lift process for each client’s unique eye shape and lash length.
