Eyelash Tech’s Complete Supply Guide: Save More, Lash Better, Grow Faster

---

Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent fibres applied one by one to a client’s natural lashes using a safe adhesive. Unlike strip lashes, which sit on the lash line and are removed daily, extensions provide a customised, long-lasting look (typically 4–6 weeks with refills).

To lash safely, it helps to understand lash anatomy:

• Anagen phase: new growth (don’t apply heavy extensions here)
• Catagen phase: transitional stage
• Telogen phase: resting stage (extensions fall naturally here)

A healthy extension service works with this natural cycle, never against it.

Different Types of Eyelash Extensions

Extensions vary by material, length, curl, and thickness, and each creates a different look.

Mink	Lightweight, soft, natural finish
Silk	Slightly thicker, holds curl well, great for definition
Synthetic	Bold, dramatic, more affordable
Flat/Cashmere	Wider base for better retention, lightweight feel

Popular Lash Styles

• Classic: one extension per natural lash
• Hybrid: mix of classic & volume
• Volume: multiple fine extensions for density
• Mega Volume: ultra-light fans for maximum fullness

Eyelash Glue Removers

Removing extensions safely prevents natural lash damage.

• Gel Removers: precise, less mess, ideal for spot removal
• Cream Removers: thick, stays in place, beginner-friendly
• Liquid Removers: fast-acting, but require more control

Gel Pads for Eyelash Extensions

Gel pads are fabulous for:

• Protecting the under-eye area
• Covering lower lashes for easier application
• Adding client comfort

Alternatives: hypoallergenic tapes (useful for sensitive skin).

Lash Extension Adhesives (Glue)

Choosing the right adhesive is essential for retention and client safety.

• Fast-drying adhesives: for experienced lash artists, reduce working time
• Sensitive/hypoallergenic adhesives: gentler, ideal for clients with sensitivities
• Flexible adhesives: work well in humid or dry salons
