There are several types of eyelash extension glue available, each with its own pros and cons. Here are some of the most common types:
1. Cyanoacrylate glue: This is a fast-drying glue that is commonly used in eyelash extensions. It is known for its strong bonding properties and ability to hold extensions in place for a long time. However, cyanoacrylate glue can be irritating to the eyes, and can cause allergies or sensitivities in some people.
2. PVA-based glue: PVA-based glue is a water-soluble glue that is gentle on the eyes and does not cause irritation. It is a good option for people with sensitive eyes or allergies to cyanoacrylate glue. However, PVA-based glue does not have the same strength as cyanoacrylate glue and may not hold extensions in place as securely.
3. Latex-based glue: Latex-based glue is a popular option for people with sensitive eyes or allergies to cyanoacrylate glue. It is gentle on the eyes and does not cause irritation. However, like PVA-based glue, it may not hold extensions in place as securely as cyanoacrylate glue.
4. Formaldehyde-based glue: Formaldehyde-based glue is a strong adhesive that is commonly used in eyelash extensions. It has excellent bonding properties and can hold extensions in place for a long time. However, formaldehyde is a known irritant and can cause sensitivities and allergies in some people.
5. Hybrid glue: Hybrid glue is a combination of cyanoacrylate and PVA-based glues, designed to provide the best of both worlds. It has strong bonding properties like cyanoacrylate glue, but is gentle on the eyes like PVA-based glue. However, hybrid glue can be more expensive than other types of glue.
It’s important to note that the type of glue used in eyelash extensions can greatly affect the quality of the extensions and the safety of the procedure. Before getting eyelash extensions, it’s important to discuss the type of glue that will be used with your technician and make sure that it is safe for you and your eyes.
