Professional Lash Extension Adhesive FAQ | Brilliant Lash Pro

Q: What makes Brilliant Lash Pro adhesives different from other brands?
A: Our adhesives are engineered by a lash artist with a chemistry background, focusing on flexible bonds that move naturally with lashes. Unlike competitors' products that can create hard, crunchy bonds, our formulations create seamless, comfortable, and long-lasting results.

Q: Which adhesive should I choose?
A: Your choice depends on your working environment and application style:
• Onyx Original (40-65% humidity): Perfect for moderate conditions
• Onyx Low Humidity (5-45%): Ideal for dry climates
• Onyx High Humidity (50-95%): Best for humid environments
• Black Magic (35-75%): Versatile formula optimized for volume work

Humidity & Environmental Factors

Q: Why is humidity so important for lash adhesive performance?
A: Humidity directly affects how quickly and effectively your adhesive cures. Too much humidity speeds up curing, while too little slows it down. The right humidity level ensures optimal bond formation and retention.

Q: How do I know my workspace's humidity level?
A: Use a hygrometer placed near your work station to monitor humidity levels. This small investment is crucial for consistent results.

Q: What if my humidity levels change seasonally?
A: Consider keeping multiple adhesive options on hand and adjusting your choice based on seasonal changes. Monitor humidity levels daily and adapt accordingly.

Storage & Shelf Life

Q: How should I store my adhesive?
A: Store adhesive:
• At 67-73°F
• Away from direct light
• Upright position
• With lid tightly sealed
• In original packaging

Q: What is the shelf life of Brilliant Lash Pro adhesives?
A: Unopened: One year
Opened: Four weeks
Always mark your opening date and replace within 4 weeks for optimal results.

Application & Technique

Q: What is the water scrub method and why is it important?
A: The water scrub method is a technique that ensures bonds are fully cured and as strong as possible. Unlike nano-misting, which only helps cure the surface, water scrub ensures complete bond strength.

Q: Why does my adhesive dry at different speeds?
A: Drying time varies based on:
• Ambient humidity
• Application technique
• Amount of adhesive used
• Pickup method

Q: Can I use the same adhesive for both classic and volume sets?
A: Yes! All our adhesives work for both techniques, though Black Magic is specifically optimized for volume work with its slightly thicker viscosity.

Troubleshooting

Q: My adhesive is drying too quickly. What should I do?
A: Check your humidity levels. If they're high, consider:
• Switching to Onyx High Humidity
• Adjusting your application technique
• Using less adhesive

Q: I'm experiencing poor retention. How can I improve it?
A: Verify:
• Storage conditions
• Adhesive age (replace within 4 weeks of opening)
• Proper isolation of natural lashes
• Implementation of water scrub method
• Humidity levels match your adhesive choice

Professional Best Practices

Q: How often should I replace my adhesive?
A: Replace opened adhesive every 4 weeks, regardless of amount remaining. This ensures optimal performance and consistent results.

Q: Do I need different adhesives for different seasons?
A: It depends on your location and climate control. Many professionals keep multiple options available to adapt to seasonal changes in humidity.

Q: What's the best way to maintain consistent results?
A: Follow these key practices:
• Monitor humidity levels daily
• Store adhesive properly
• Replace within recommended timeframes
• Use proper application techniques
• Implement the water scrub method
• Maintain consistent room temperature
