When I first started applying lash extensions, I always shook my glue bottle up and down, assuming that would mix it well. However, I soon noticed my glue would clog frequently, causing frustration during applications. After learning the proper technique to shake the glue side to side, everything changed. Shaking the lash glue side to side helps keep the adhesive evenly mixed without introducing air bubbles that cause clogging. Some lash artists recommend using a shaker tool specifically designed for this purpose, which provides consistent gentle motion and prevents over-agitating the glue. In my experience, this simple adjustment leads to a smoother glue flow on the brush, which makes the lash extensions easier to pick up and apply precisely. It also enhances the curing process, allowing the glue to set faster and creating a stronger bond. Additionally, storing your glue in a cool, dry place after shaking side to side helps preserve its quality and performance for longer sessions. This tip has truly improved the quality of my lash sets and saved me time dealing with clogged glue during appointments. For anyone new to lash extensions or struggling with their lash adhesive, I highly recommend trying this side-to-side shaking technique. It’s a small change with a big impact, making your lash application smoother and more professional-looking.
