It is always necessary to shake your lash adhesive before the lash appointment.

And by this, your glue second drop will be freshest with all the mixed ingredients.

If you are using a glue shaker, shake your eyelash glue a minute before your day starts. But if your switch lash extension glue, make sure to shake it again.

Make sure always to burp your eyelash extension adhesive

Remember to burp your adhesive to keep it last as long as possible. If you do not burp the lash glue, the air will get into it, making it less effective. 

Clean your nozzle with lint-free wipes

Keeping the nozzle clean is the perfect way to get the most of your lash extension glue. Get your lint-free wipes that will help to keep your glue nozzle from becoming stuck in the cap due to buildup, which can degrade the lash extension glue. Also, ensure that when you remove glue from your tools and tweezers, use adhesive remover and adhesive wipes.

Replace your old nozzle with a new nozzle

After a few days, there will be a time when your nozzle is so clogged that it can’t be saved with a pin or scissor. At that time, you need to replace the nozzle. Also, if the nozzle looks distorted or too hard to remove the lid, you have to replace it with a new one.
