- www.eyelashtrainingonline.com - do you wonder why your glue some days does not work, why clients lashes fall off, do you actually understand the science behind how our glues work? This tutorial is a must watch for all lash techs.
Great info!!! I've been lashing for 4 months now (super newbie) and this definitely was NOT explained in my class
SuedePearls what glue do u use
same for me
SuedePearls me either
wow I just started doing lashes and I thought it was my adhesive that was acting up! but it was my room temp thats so crazy. you literally saved my life LOL I was going to give up but this video changed everything. LIFE SAVER. Took a lot of notes thank you so much Frankie
Thats great to hear. Maybe consider the Lash Tech Tutorials group, where you can get loads more of advice and videos. eyelashexcellence.com/lash-tech-tutorials/
I have been thinking about quitting myself because although I am an excellent lasher, I sometimes have trouble with lash retention. I have a humidifier for the winter but had no idea you could buy a dehumidifier. Thank you so so so so much. I love lashing and I have been extremely frustrated. Cant wait for my dehumidifier to arrive. ( i already have a barometer)
Oh my gosh! Thank you SO much for this video! Of all the research I've done, this is the BEST explanation of lash glue and humidity/temperature.
you are welcome :)
You my dear are BRILLIANT..... I recently sat an EL extension course, which I'm not gonna name names as I think that is very unprofessional..... but i tell you I have learned more watching your videos than i did on the course......
However ... I do have lots of willing subject to practice on.... and through your help and advice, will get better and better..... and at the end of the day will get my certificate to which I can then get my full insurance.... (only have student at mo) so ... all is not lost..... but if you ran a course I would gladly pay to come on it.... I really would..... and I just wanted to say a very big fat "Thank you" x
I don't think people realise how difficult it actually is to do ELE .... properly.... this really is a skill......
el as in enlightened lashes?!
iris catton EL = eyelash lol x
So true
Such a fab bit of information thank you! Xx
I don’t know how to express my gratitude for you doing this video. It’s speaks volumes of your professionalism and character you taking the time to teach and share this information. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Thank you so much for this advice. I’ve been lashing for about 3 months and I’ve been having major retention issues with clients. I will definitely keep this information in mind and put it into motion from this point on. I’m so grateful for lash artists like you who are here to help others to succeed as well. Thank you again ❤️
Second time I have viewed this. First when I was taking the class and now that I have been lashing for 7 months, it is all making so much sense. You are AWESOME! Thanks for sharing the very important informations ;)
Thank You Frankie; I’m here in Hawaii 🌺🌴🌊 And you’re right; no one really wants to share info. It’s sad to see; so I will applaud and respect you and your advice. It takes a real one to help others so that they can achieve success. You are one heck of a woman Frankie and I thank you very much. Chasity 🙋🏻♀️
Thank you so much I just got my humidity monitor from Walmart today. I came home and turned it on,so I am on Vegas and it is dry as hell. So now I only way out to get a humidifier. I so appreciate all your tutorials. You are amazing and I would fly to the UK to get more education from you.
Great info. I was feeling so down and ready to give up because I couldn’t get it together.
Thanks so much!
All of your videos are super helpful! I’ve never had a whole lot of money so I ended up paying for a cheaper online class so I could still afford the products. Well they didn’t teach me anything except maybe about the different curls. But after spending hundreds on supplies and rializing this I’ve been doing learning from any available sources I can find but after watching your videos in finding there’s a lot of misinformation out there! And of course sponsored channels that just want yo upset products. Not not only do I find unbiased information here but I’ve learned so much because you don’t just hit the hot topics . You go over stuff alot of us beginners never even thought about. Im so greatful for your videos and for people like you
Hey Denise and thanks for writing this comment. I am so sorry to hear of your experience and sadly this is quite common and one of the reasons why I retrain so many poor students who were not even taught the bare minimums it seems. TH-cam can also be a great source of info, but omg I have seen sooooo many terrible lash videos with incorrect info being shared and this is a real issue. So I am so happy my channel has really helped you:)
thank you so much for supplying much needed training to supplement basic training.
This is soooooo important for every lash artist to know! I nearly gave up too but this information saved my winter business!!!!
This nearly ended my career many moons ago!!!
Watching your videos have made me such a great lash teacher!! I've never been taught most of these things when I was taught which I was I decided to want to learn as much as possible so I can teach it right thank you !
Thk you a lot! I was going crazy, because i didnt anderstand why the lashes fall of in a short time. And why my glue drys out so fast.
I'm a lash newbie and I absolutely LOVE this video. Thank you. I needed this.
to make the glue last and prevent moisture is to put your glue in a airtight container filled with rice.
Keep the silica packets that come with the adhesive. That's the reason why they are there
@@athinapolitisxo I keep my glue in an airtight container with silica but on the really humid days I find my glue doesn’t stick nicely. Does that mean I have to replace the bottle or place new drops more frequently?
OMG thank you so mch for this video. it just began getting hot here and my studio humidity is perfect but the temperature has been fluctuating between 25-28 degrees and i have a few clients complaining about lashes falling off so easily and ive been so depressed about this! im going to take your advice and regulate the temp and invest in an AC hopefully this will work 😭
+Alex Oliveira yes far too hot so your adhesive is shock curing
Thank you so much i have learn so much in 3 videos i have watch
you are amazing and i have learned so much from watching your videos. thank you so much!
Thank you so much can't wait to try this! I have lash retention problems on some clients and didn't know why
I just love you, thank you SO much. My trainer did not teach this or maybe she wasn't taught it either so I'm sooo thankful for this video.
I took notes and also saved this. TFS.
Thank you so much for sharing! I have been learning so much from your videos! Thank you, thank you, thank you !
AMAZING video! So helpful. Now is the temp and humidity just important when you're actively using your glue? How about when you're storing it closed in a dark container? Do the conditions need to be just this same way? Thank you!
Thank you so much for this information
Wow, thank you very much for this info, Frankie 👍🏼
Thank you very much 😊 this was so helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you
Omg thank you I’m a new lash artist
Your videos are amazing, I have been doing lashes for the last 4 years worked in a salon and never had this problem now I work from home, I am at this minute pulling my hair out as my clients lashes are not lasting a week, so this week I have had a dehumidifier on and I'm obsessed about the humidity in my room (shed) in my back garden, fingers crossed the come back in 2 weeks with lashes, so thank you x
Hi Frankie,
I put some lashes on my client and five days later she says she only has one-third left. I loved this video. the degrees and temp averages you mention, are they for your area only or is this the "universal" temps and degrees to go by for all lash technicians no matter where they are In the world. I just got my dehumidifier and hygrometer, and I have an a/c unit as well..... I explained to my client that it was the temp issue which makes the adhesive finicky etch...... I don't know what else to do......
Once again you have explained your video so well. Your awesome!
thank you so much for sharing , that was eye opening for me
love love your truth! thank u for this video
Love all the info from ALL of your videos!! I can't find the one about nano misting though, I'd love to know how to use it properly.
This is truly amazing, thank you so much for sharing this with everyone!
Thank you so much
Very helpful
Thank you sweetheart. Happy you didn’t give up! 😘

Hi Frankie your videos help me so much and I recently purchased your glue I work in a cabin style salon Home built and I have a device that tells me the temp and humidity it’s usually at 22 and 50 but I’m having retention problems that’s making me want to give up just recently iv been lashing for a year now only having these problems the last month iv tried everything
Thanks for the info! Really appreciate it
Amazing video! Thank you!
Great info!
Excellent advice, thank you xx
You’re amazing! Thank you so much
THANK YOU for this informative video! I love your work and follow all your videos :) I have been trying to start my lash business in Cancun, Mexico, which I now understand I must get a dehumidifier! I keep my glue in an airtight container with rice, so it should be dry but the temps reach about 29-31 degrees inside my place. Where would you suggest keeping it? Are there special storage containers? O cooler of some sort? Or a mini fridge where I can control the temp? PLEASE HELP! thank you!!
Hi , thank you for your videos which are really interesting. Which glue do you use for eyelashes extensions and can you use the same one for eyebrows extensions ? Thank you.
Thank you so much great info!
hi I have been following you for awhile now. I've learned so much from you! I have a question and I have been trying so hard to get it on my own but I just can't! I've been lashing for 4 years now and I have a full cliente and I have always done well with my glue retention but this year I moved to a new room and I'm struggling with my temp and humidity! in my own room I did well but I had a door and it was a smaller room. I have a humidifier, dehumidifier and I use a hydrometer. I have always used sky glue which I love, but I can NOT get a set temp and humidity for it to work regularly! each day is different and I can't find a norm! I don't know if maybe the room isn't insulated right or what! does the temp and humidity have to be the same all day for proper application? I feel like my room can not be the same all day it changes all day and now its cold and I run my humidifier all day and it changes all through out the day! how can I tell if the lashes are going to have good retention bf the client leaves? I feel Like one eye is always worse on my clients lately and I think it's BC the temp is changing throughout the service? and within the first week they are coming off with no lash attached:( any advice on what I should do for my retention to last!? any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Hi, yes sadly in a room like this your devices do have to be switched on and off throughout the day to "constantly" set the conditions right. My room is the same and really fluctuates but luckily my advanced black glue from my shop www.eyelashexcellence.com copes really well with the ups and down and will give me a 10% range on humidity and a 3 celcius nge too. hth
Great info!!! Thanks x
Thanks for all your great vids! Please let me know the humidifier you currently use?
awesome thank you!!
amazing explanation xoxo
Very good video. I have a question So now they have a lot off glue that suitable any weather. So will I will still
Have to have this ?
Good info thank you!!
Thank you for watching xx
Thanks you so so much for the good advice.
What are ways for mobile lash artists to improve their retention? Could I tell my client to help me before hand for best results?
Hi, so mobile is always hard - as such you will find that few lash artists work mobile because they simply cannot control the temp and humidity. If you DID have to work mobile I would suggest taking a range of glues with you, then seeing what the levels read on your hygrometer and then using on that day the glue that you know suits that level showing.
Ok so my glue says 48-52 is ideal... at home that’s what it is right... and it dries like it says 1-2 sec, and it stays in a glob does get kinda stringy so I drop a head, so I lashed at a shop and it was really hot... but the humidity was 28 and it was curing like what you said... it was really weird I had to drop like 14 beads but I was placing on the lash and it would not stick unless I held it for a bit... and then I would go down to dip my
Lash.... and it freaking omg I had to drop drop drop... I felt terrible and I did advise my client look since you made me come to your shop... my environment wasn’t ideal for my glue to cure and I explained to her. And I also offered a free touch up within 72 hours hopefully we shall see... my other babes I lash at my house do very wel... I guess I need to purchase a humidifier
Just a heads up everyone there are different hygrometer apps in the App Store.
TRACY JAMESTINA thank you. Do you use one of them if so which one?
I was advised that i can store the glue in the fridge to last a bit longer when im not using it?
This is not advised - glue should be stored at room temp. It can be stored in the fridge before opening but once opened keep at room temp. To place in out of the fridge can lead to a build up of condensation in the bottle and this will make your glue start curing in the bottle
Thank you!
I have a humidity of 45%-50% what is a GOOD adhesive for Volume and classic ?
Do any of these recommendations change for sensitive glue?
Wow this is crazy! Why most beginners wanna give up, and the amount of money you pay for a course and they don’t teach you that
What’s your favourite adhesive, that you would recommend which is fast / medium drying x
What is a good item to purchase to check to see what the temperature is in the room??
Lastima q no sea en español se ve q eres una experta en esto!!
Vero Fernandez lo mismo pense
Regarding brittle bond - what's the difference between using a nano mister and the client going out into a humid environment?
Jacqueline Ibbott it can potentially be exactly the same !
What adhesive is best for Florida high humidity year round?? Thank you!!
Rose Burstein get a dehumidifier
Love yor videos, love from Brasil
God bless you
@studiopatizanoni
What size do you recommend buying in humidifier and dehumifter and how long would you say it takes to work? I’m a mobile lash artist
What glue would you recommend

I want to thank you for your video. How do I keep lashes on in extreme humidity. I live in Texas where its hot all the time. The lash studio where I work keeps it very cold inside...but what happens when the client goes outside according to your video is rapid curing. How can I help this from not happening? It takes me 2 hours to 2 1/2 to complete a set Im a new beginner. Thanks much.
The first thing to look at is if you are able to control your temperature and humidity in your work space. Are you able to record what your work space is? For this you need a hygrometer.
The adhesives we work with have very specific parameters that they work best in. If you're doing this then your sets should be 90% cured when your client leaves you. So no shock curing should occur by the time they leave.
It is very true that we have absolutely no control over what happens when they leave us so all we can do is ensure we are doing our absolute best at the time.
So your saying that the lashes are 90% by the time the clients leave so the high humidity outside will not affect? I plan to do lashes myself, so what adhesive from you guys would you suggest and what temperature? Thank you.
That means that if you are controlling your work space properly then the adhesive should be cured 90% by the time your clients leave you. We cannot guarantee if the outside elements will not effect. But at least you have done your best for them. That is all you can do. You are not able to control what happens outside or when your client leaves you.
If you are a beginner to lashing then would recommend the Tender
What's your view on keeping the glue in a jar with rice in the fridge ?
Please help. I’m new to lashing and my clients lashes keep falling off a day or two after. I lash out of my basement and it’s pretty cold but the humidity is around 25%- 57%. My glue says it can be around 40-70% and temp around 70-74 degrees Fahrenheit (21-23 C) my room is always in the low to mid 60’s.... do you rev a dehumidifier? I need an answer quick bc I have someone coming back tonight for a fix up
Hi, You would need a humidifier to raise the humidity and then would need to increase the temperature in your lash room
So I want the air to have more moisture for my glue to react slower not faster?
@@sandraoneil3559 No, think of baking a cake, the higher the levels, the faster the cake bakes, the slower the levels, the slower the cake bakes. So if you want to glue to cure quicker the levels need to be at the high end of the glues optimum levels - but if you want it to slow, then drop to the lower levels. So although your temp might be correct, if your humidity is low, then you have to raise that. So both temp and humidity must be controlled, not just one. HTH
So it’s easy to educate clients and to have them avoid the extremes (low/high humidity and temps) for 24 hrs. But what advice would you give to your clients who would typically leave the salon and go home or maybe shopping then to their work environment the next day?
Hi Patrice, sorry I do not understand the question?
You explained the importance of the correct temperature and humidity for lash retention, and a good technician will make sure that those parameters are met. However, when a client walks out the door she/he might not be able to control the temperature and especially the humidity. What recommendations would you give them to help with retention IF THEY CAN’T control their environment as well as the salon?
@@patricemosley9537 ok I understand, so this is tricky to a point, however It really is a case of ensuring they avoid very humid or damp areas, so steamy showers, steam rooms, saunas (extreme heat etc)
It is these "extreme" environments that are the culprits where as the everyday normal environments are fine (work/office/home life etc). If you clients headed straight off to a gym class, swimming lesson, shift in a hot kitchen etc then these would be issues. HTH
@@eyelashexcellence-frankiew3464 gotcha! Thanks very much for replying
What glue is this in your video? By the way I have learned so much h from you !
Hello!! Please help me 😭😭 I’m a new lash tech and my clients lashes fall the next day 😭💔 My room temperature is at 69-73 and my humidity is at 48 around there. Do I need a humidifier or a dis humidifier??? And which ones do you recommend ?! Please help
Me 😭😭
Best humidity % is around at least 50% and maximum 70%.
Xtremelashes teach you this in their training. However, the way you break it all down is brilliant. Thank you
www.chickartistry.co.uk
Yes they do and I love how Xtreme advises air flow for fumes and an air cleaning system...
What Do you do when the humidity is High outside your salon ? The humidity is at 74% today where i live so is that of for the glue to cure or Will it cause a choc ? Thanks :)
please when can I buy this glue in Nigeria
you can order from us at www.eyelashexcellence.com and we post internationally
So Frankie Widdows what the number for perfect temperature in America. So if it’s Cold should I use a humidifier or diffuser?
You will need to get yourself a hygrometer which will tell you what temperature and humidity level your salon is at, you can then put on the appropriate devices depending on the reading. So the optimum for most adhesives is 19 - 21 degrees and 45-55% humidity but you MUST check with the manufacturer of the adhesive you are using as they can vary. So if your salon was lower than 19 degrees you would need to put heating on, if humidity was lower than 45% you would need to be a humidifier on.
Soooooo.....what's the deal with everyone using nano facial misters to cure the glue? Edit. You literally addressed nano misting right after I typed this question 😂 thank you I'll check out that video next!
Could you please show me your air conditioner

I have a very dry Studio.. I even got 2 small room humidifiers but can't get it past 21% humidity this winter. I haven't had issues yet but I have been using a nano mister. What is your opinion of nano misting and is this an alternative? I'm shopping for another humidifier but wanted to check with you before doing so. Thank you in advance!
You need a big warm mist humidifier - like a vicks one. Cold mist and little ones do no good. Nano misting will only help the cure - if wont assist the current working environment that you need to be working in.
Hi if I live in warmer climate should i be using a cool mist humidifier?
this all depends whether you live in a dry or damp warm climate?
Any recommendations ? My humidifier is still not helping much all of sudden, my humidity has dropped from it always being around 50 to about 30, and it won't increase. I am wondering if I have invest in a bigger one. It just started doing this
Yes you may need a bigger one, or even 2 of them - so I have 2 in my salon in the winter.
Wow who knew there was suck a science behind this. I wish there was an easier glue 😫😫
Lol - yes it really is science to know the secret behind lash retention. And it is just a case of working with adhesives and you will soon find one that suits you and your environment xx
What if my humidity and temperature are in the ideal range, but my extensions still don't stick to the natural lashes? They just slide right off soon after.
Then it sounds like their may be a barrier on the clients natural lashes - as such always use this product to balance the PH of the natural lash and ensure attachment and retention, I always use this as my last step before lash application, its an amazing product - eyelashexcellence.com/product/retention-aid/
Hey ! I was wondering how many glues is it good to have stored? Or is it best to just buy 1 finish it & keep it going like that ?
Buy one at a time
This can depend on your client base or your climate. You may have clients that get on better with different glues ( so I'm usually running with 3 different glues )
If you have a climate that can jump from high to low humidity from day to day you may change your glue to suit this - remember to throw your glues after 5-7 weeks
Hi Frankie,
Thank you so much for this, i cannot tell you the nightmare that i have been going though with the current glue that i am using but I guess that you have been though it all so you know. Thank you so much again. Your tips have been the biggest help.
My aircon doesnt seem to bring my temperature UP i winter, i was told that my glue would be fine to work at 15-17 degrees but i can say that is not the case, its a nightmare. is there any other way to bring temperature up, I am guessing to put aircon on heat is not an option? as i was told?
Which glue is this pls tell me the name of glue m where can I buy the last long glue?
Our fastest curing adhesive is rapid 0.5-1 second cure time, however this does need absolute control over your temperature and humidity 19-20 degrees and 40-50% humidity levels for it to work to perfection. It is brilliant for volume and offers great retention. Our next quickest adhesives are Storm (black) and Tornado (clear) and they have a cure time of 1-2 seconds, and work within 19-22 degrees and 40-55% humidity levels. Have a look on my website for guidance on all of my adhesives. www.eyelashexcellence.com
