The difference between adhesives

Why are you here? To find useful information regarding the selection of the right adhesive for you. We want to inform you that there will be a lot to read, but if you postpone reading the text, it means you don't want to develop yourself and you believe you know everything. Which is wrong, because techniques change, as do seasons and working conditions, and along with them, you'll need to change the adhesive.

If you're not fond of reading and prefer tables, we've prepared one with all the information you need. If you know your working conditions, then you can easily choose the adhesive that suits you.

I, Monika Orzelowska, speak plainly and like to directly state what is good and what is not. I want to help you and share all the details I have for your development!

Among the most frequent questions I hear are:

1. What adhesive and what lashes should I use if I'm a beginner?

In order to tell you this, I need some details, such as: what humidity you have, the size of the adhesive droplet and where you put it, the quantity you put on the lash, the speed of sticking to the natural lash, the technique you prefer, and what kind of volume you create.

A correct answer to this question is complex. Below you will find descriptions of all the adhesives, from those for beginners to those for advanced users. You are the one who chooses, after you learn all the information.

I want you to know that it is recommended to change the adhesive according to the season!

2. What do we use in the summer?

Summer Adhesives

Summer is the season where every detail matters. And for this, we have specially designed adhesives for the warm season to ensure the resistance and impeccable appearance of the extensions you apply to your clients.

Summer Adhesives come in two variants: For beginners and Oil and WaterProof. Both have a resistance of up to 90 days and have all the information you need on the bottle, to be accessible and easy to understand.

Summer Oil & Water Proof

✅ Resistance: 60-90 days
✅ Temperature: 18° - 35°C
✅ Humidity : 40% dry in 1 sec
✅ Humidity: 60% dry in 0.5 sec
✅ Shelf life after opening: 30 days
✅ Shelf life unopened: 1 year from manufacturing date (30.06.2024)

Summer For Beginners

✅ Resistance: 60-90 days
✅ Temperature: 18° - 35°C
✅ Humidity : 40% dry in 2 sec
✅ Humidity: 60% dry in 1 sec
✅ Shelf life after opening: 30 days
✅ Shelf life unopened: 1 year from manufacturing date (30.06.2024)
✅ Perfect for pre-made lashes or up to 3D

You can also use Ultimate Bond from iBeauty for volume up to 3D, and for larger volume Ultra Bonding.

Summer is warm, and we use air conditioning, which means we have circulating air in the room that dries the adhesive faster, so BEWARE, you need to use an adhesive that dries slower.

3. We know about summer. But what about winter?

In winter, we have problems with humidity, and when we have too low humidity, then we need to use a FASTER adhesive... or we can increase the humidity.

At a standard humidity of 55% for 1-3D, I recommend the Ultra Bonding adhesive. For larger volume, Ultra Super. But what if the humidity is below 40%?

Then I recommend HyperBond, because it dries in 0.5 seconds, so at 35% humidity it behaves like a 1-2 second adhesive, which is perfect.

Let's see how humidity affects:

• Normal humidity is around 50-55%
• Low humidity means below 40%
• High humidity is above 55%

In low humidity, we need a faster adhesive, 0.5 seconds or 1-2 seconds, and in high humidity, a slower adhesive, 2-3 seconds or 3-4 seconds.

How do you increase humidity?

If you have a room of about 15 square meters, you need to have a large humidifier. It will take about an hour to increase the humidity throughout the room.

You can buy a small humidifier and quickly increase the humidity in the working area if you place it 1 meter away from you (that's how I managed when I had my first client and the humidity was below 40%). I started the large humidifier, placed a damp towel on the radiator, and started the small humidifier next to me. I applied primer on the false lashes to dry the adhesive faster (to prevent dehydration of the silicone on the false lash). I used the fastest adhesive possible, namely Hyper Bond, with a drying time of 0.5 seconds at normal humidity, so at the humidity I had, below 40%, it dried in 1-2 seconds, which is perfect.

4. Orzelowska Adhesives

In addition to iBeauty adhesives, you can also find on the website Master adhesive from the Orzelowska range. It is resistant to water and oil, which means that your clients' lashes will withstand high humidity conditions. I recommend it for high humidity and temperatures. For advanced stylists, it may be too slow. You will need to use an accelerator on natural lashes and bonder for false lashes to speed up the drying time.

R88 Adhesives. How and when do we use them?

R88 Green

It is universal compared to the red adhesive from iBeauty, but it is stronger in odor and resistance. It is preferable to be used for volume or up to 3D at your own risk (if you work quickly and do not have high temperature and humidity).

R88 Pink

It is only for volume. I recommend it for winter and only for professionals.

And now. What do I do if I am allergic to adhesive?

Simple. You use an anti-allergic adhesive. On our website, we have two variants with two different textures.

BioTHIN – liquid texture

The anti-allergic adhesive is the result of the latest technology, surpassing industry regulations and setting a new safety standard in eyelash extension adhesives.

A year of meticulous research and development underlies the creation of our adhesive without Polymethyl Methacrylate and Hydroquinone.
