Understanding Eyelash Extension Glue Curing Time

Typically, it takes about 24 hours for eyelash extension glue to cure completely. During this period, the glue undergoes a process known as polymerization, where it dries and hardens to form a strong bond between your natural lashes and the extensions.

Why is the 24-Hour Rule Important?

Exposing the glue to moisture before it has fully cured can lead to a phenomenon known as chock curing. This premature exposure can weaken the bond, causing the extensions to fall off prematurely and spoiling the overall look of your lashes. Therefore, it is crucial to avoid any activities that might introduce moisture to your lashes, such as washing your face, swimming, or even heavy sweating, within the first 24 hours after application.

The Exception: Glue Bonder

While the 24-hour rule is a general guideline, there is an exception: the use of a glue bonder. A glue bonder is a specialized product designed to accelerate the polymerization process of the glue, allowing it to cure almost instantly. This can significantly reduce the waiting time before you can get your extensions wet.
If your lash technician uses a glue bonder, it's essential to follow their specific recommendations regarding waiting times.
