Why We Love the Slide Attachment

We recently released a reel explaining our preferred attachment technique here at Lashmii and it’s called The Slide Technique.

I wanted to do a more in depth explanation of this technique and why it is so effective for retention. Plus a couple of tips to make it easier! 

First things first, you’ll pick up your lash for application. This will work with both classic and volume styles as long as the base is skinny.

Dip your lash in the adhesive and isolate the natural lash on your client. The next step is the most important part!

You want to identify where the natural lash curls and place the tip of the adhesive dipped extension flush with that juncture of the natural lash.

Right where the curl of natural lash begins. 

Then you slide the extension all the way down to the base of the natural lash.

This will cause the adhesive to run up the extension and natural lash together and form a strong bond all the way up the base.

Creating that strong bond all the way up will improve your retention because there isn’t just a single point of contact of bond between natural lash and extension. 

PRO TIP: Use a light hand when dipping in your adhesive otherwise your extension will not slide all the way down the natural lash.

Don’t worry about not using enough adhesive because the slide maneuver will force the adhesive to run all the way up the extension and create a strong bond.
