    Hi all. I wrote about this on another thread but I wanted to reply here with the same info as I think it's important for ee technicians to know. About china products in general, I do not recommend using them for several reasons, the first being that China does not have much in the way on manufacturing regulations, most of the worlds recalls come from china due to this and taking a chance with products used on the eyes is risky at best. It is common for china ee glue to include formaldehyde, latex, ingredients that clients will have a strong reaction to. Getting glues made anywhere else is better.
    About the slow cure, it is the why 90% of allergic reactions develope in our clients. Exposing the eyes to a substance that puts off an irritant, fumes for that long every few weeks and the body eventually starts to reject it. Allergic reactions start slow and will build over time and get worse. There are ways to avoid this, use a fast curing adhesive and then spray it with a nano mister which will freeze dry it before the client opens their eyes. This way they do not have that burning sensation and can shower immediately. Also by having clients use a clarifying shampoo, not just an oil free makeup remover which will clog the hair follicle, twice a day on the eyelashes you will do a few things. Clients eyes will feel clean and be free of the itchy feeling, the hair follicle will not get clogged with dirt and oil, and there will not be any build up of crust that can happen. There are products made in the USA that are fast drying and long lasting, we just have much tougher manufactubg regulations. I know that is a lot of info but I hope it helps.

      I am fairly new to doing lash extensions. I use Minky lashes. I have been buying my glue though through a place called "ILashStore.com. 1-888-300-8623. I like the Ulta Bond Plus / in a black bottle and sells for about $29 I believe. Do you know anything about WhipLash? Someone in my area is doing these lashes and a full set only takes 45 min and I looked at someone who had them done and they actually look like they are glued onto the lid (not good).
