If you’re a Lashify lover, you already know that the right bond is the secret to long-lasting, flawless lashes. And when it comes to Lashify’s Bondage® with Charcoflex®, you’ve got a powerhouse formula that takes lash wear to the next level.

Bondage® isn’t just another bond—it’s a game-changer. Infused with Charcoflex® to absorb more moisture and oils than our other formulas making it perfect for someone who has watery eyes from allergies, oily lids, or lives in a humid climate. This formula is designed to provide a flexible, extended hold while keeping your natural lashes happy and healthy. With a quick drying formula, we recommend this bond for a more seasoned Lashifiend. Let’s dive into all the ways you can use Bondage® to maximize your lash game.

Bondage® Extra Strength Bond with Charcoflex®

1. The Classic Application: Lock It In

If you want a solid, long-lasting hold without stiffness, Bondage® is your go-to bond. Here’s how to use it for a seamless application:

  • Step 1: Start with clean, dry lashes.

  • Step 2: Apply a thin, even coat of Bondage® to your natural lashes, focusing on the base, where the Gossamer® lashes will be applied. 

    • For an even more precise application, try brushing Bondage through your lashes using our Frosting Wand

  • Step 3: Let it get tacky for 10-15 seconds before applying your lashes.

  • Step 4: Apply your Gossamers®, fuse them together with your Fuse Control Wand, and enjoy long-lasting, flexible hold.

Pro Tip: A little goes a long way! Avoid over-applying, as too much bond can cause slipping or clumping. 

 

2. The Layering Technique: Double the Hold

For those who love an ultra-secure hold, the layering method is a must. This technique is especially helpful if you have oily lids or need your lashes to last through sweat, humidity, or long days.

  • Step 1: Start with clean, dry lashes. 

  • Step 2: Apply a thin, even coat of Bondage® to your natural lashes, focusing on the base where the Gossamer® lashes will be applied. 

    • For an even more precise application, try brushing Bondage through your lashes using our Frosting Wand. 

  • Step 3: Let it get tacky for 10-15 seconds.

  • Step 4: Apply a thin layer of Bondage, focusing just at the base of the natural lashes.

  • Step 5: Let it get tacky for 10-15 seconds.

  • Step 6: Apply your Gossamer® lashes, fuse them together with your Fuse Control Wand, and enjoy long-lasting, flexible hold.

 

3. Re-activate the Seal: Extra Durability

For those who need their lashes to last 7+ days, sealing with Bondage to recreate the seal can take your longevity to the next level.

  • After fusing your lashes, press Bondage into the base of the lashes. Wait 15 seconds.

  • Fuse down onto the lashes using your Wandoms on your Fuse Control Wand.

  • Seal using Water Poof®.

This method keeps your Gossamer® lashes in place and can also be done when touch-ups are needed.

4. The Touch-Up Trick: Mid-Wear Refresh

If your lashes start lifting at the edges or you need a refresh after a few days, Bondage® can be used for touch-ups.

  • Step 1: Use the tip of the applicator to apply a tiny amount of Bondage® to the lifted area.

  • Step 2: Allow the bond to get tacky for 15 seconds.

  • Step 3: Fuse down the area that was lifting.

💡 Pro Tip: Keep touch-ups minimal to avoid buildup. If you find yourself touching up often, it might be time for a fresh set!

 

5. The Hybrid Method: Mix with Other Bonds

Bondage® can be layered with other Lashify bonds like Whisper Light® for a customized hold.

  • Try applying Whisper Light® first as a base for extra flexibility.

  • Follow with Bondage® at the base of the lash for that long-wear durability.

This method gives you the best of both worlds—flexibility and extended wear time!
