Lash Glue
What is the difference between strong sticky glue and super sticky glue?
Both strong sticky glue and super sticky glue can be used in eyelash perming programs and are highly adhesive and easy to wash and clean with water. The strong sticky glue is made with a pharmaceutical formula that is gentle, non-irritating, and anti-allergenic, making it ideal for people with sensitive skin or eyes, and is lightweight, leaving no waxy residue when applied. The super sticky glue is more suitable for professional lash artists, the glue is very strong sticky, the texture is thicker (there will be a slight elastic phenomenon), the operator can more easily fix the lashes in the silicone perm rod, reduce the operation time, work more efficiently.
