101: Bond
With anything worth mastering in life, you canât get ahead of yourself when learning something new.
Like the proverb says, âYou must learn to crawl before you can walkâ. Here at Lashify that couldnât be more accurateâ
learning the basics first, starting a bit at a time, will set you up for success.
Letâs Discuss Bonds.
Technique aside, the first few hurdles to overcome when starting Lashify are psychological, the preconceived notions that:
1. More bond equals stronger hold
2. You have to rush to place your Gossamer lashes before the bond dries
FORGET THIS! In fact, with Lashify there are 2 cardinal rules to bond application: 1. Less is more 2. The bond has to become tacky prior to Gossamer application
How To Apply Bond.
When applying Whisper Light lash bond (in either clear or black) always start by dabbing a light coat to the underside of your natural lashes, focusing above the root. Avoid brushing all the way through the lash in order to prevent clumping at the tips of your natural lashes.
âHow do I know when Iâve applied too much bond?â If the bond looks overly wet on your natural lashes, that is a good indication too much bond was applied. If this happens, you can gently dab off the excess with a clean finger tip, or by using a disposable spoolie.
Let It Get Tacky.
Once the correct amount of bond has been applied, wait for the bond to get tacky. You can use this time to sort through your Gossamer collection and pull out the Gossamers you will be using to create your look, take out all of your tools and make sure they are readily available, etc.
âHow do I know when the bond is tacky?â Donât worry about counting to 30 in order to know when your bond is tacky. Instead, flutter your lashes, when your natural lashes start feeling sticky thatâs a good sign that the bond has dried! Now youâre ready for Gossamer application.
Tip.
