Although new to the market, Super bonder has quickly become a must-have in every lash artist's toolkit. It is specially designed to enhance the performance of lash extension adhesives.
1. How do I use Superbonder?
Pre-Application Primer:
Using a micro brush, apply a thin layer of Super bonder to the bottom 2-3mm of the lash extensions or the natural lash line. Let it dry completely for approximately one minute. This step primes the lashes for quicker and more secure bonding during the procedure.
Post-Application Sealant:
After applying the extensions, use a fresh drop of Super bonder on a micro brush (wiping off excess to ensure safety). Gently seal the bond by applying it to the base of the extensions. This final step is safe and non-irritating, allowing clients to open their eyes immediately.
2. Is it suitable for use both before and after the lash application procedure?
Super Bonder is uniquely formulated for dual-phase use in the lash extension process, serving distinct but complementary functions at different stages. When applied to natural lashes prior to extension attachment, it acts as a powerful bonding accelerator. This pre-application method significantly enhances the initial adhesion speed, allowing for quicker and more secure extension placement while maintaining precise positioning throughout the procedure.
The post-application phase represents perhaps the most crucial step in the process. Once extensions are perfectly positioned, a careful application of Super Bonder instantly neutralizes the adhesive's surface tack through rapid curing. This immediate curing effect not only finalizes the bond strength but simultaneously creates a protective seal around the adhesive interface.
3. Is it still necessary to use a primer if I'm using Super bonder?
Yes, that is correct.
- Standard Procedure
The standard sequence is to apply primer before Super bonder. The primer deeply cleanses and dehydrates the natural lash, creating the ideal base for optimal bonding.
- Key Exception
This rule has one exception: when a thorough lash bath is performed. The deep cleansing action of lashing shampoo effectively removes oils and debris, fulfilling the core function of the primer.
- Simplified Workflow
After washing and ensuring the lashes are completely dry, you can skip the primer. In this case, apply Super bonder directly to secure the extensions. This maintains retention while streamlining your process.
4. Once applied, how long should I wait before proceeding?
After applying Superbonder, it is essential to allow it to dry completely, which typically takes approximately one minute. This brief waiting period is critical, as it enables the accelerator to fully neutralize the adhesive's surface tack and form a strong, stable bond. Rushing this step can compromise retention. To expedite the process without sacrificing effectiveness, you may gently direct the airflow from a mini fan over the lash area. This helps to evaporate moisture quickly, ensuring the extensions are securely set and ready for the next step in your procedure.
5. What is the recommended amount of Super bonder to use?
Apply only a pea-sized drop of Super bonder both before and after application. Crucially, after applying lashes, wipe any excess from the micro brush to prevent product from contacting the client's eyes.
