Eyelash Extensions Written Practice Exam

To what depth should a lash extension be dipped in the glue drop?

1. 1/2 of the way

2. 3/4 of the way

3. 2/3 of the way

4. All the way

The correct answer is: 2/3 of the way

The recommended depth for dipping a lash extension into the glue drop is about two-thirds of the way. This allows for sufficient adhesive to create a strong bond between the natural lash and the extension, while also avoiding issues that can arise from too much glue, such as creating clumps or making the lashes feel heavy. Dipping too shallow, such as half or three-quarters of the way, may not provide enough adhesive for a secure attachment, leading to premature shedding of the extensions. Conversely, dipping all the way into the glue could cause excess adhesive to come into contact with the eyelid or natural lashes, increasing the risk of irritation or improper bond. Therefore, two-thirds is an optimal depth to ensure effective adhesion while maintaining comfort and safety.
