Study Notes
Formaldehyde and Lash Adhesives
- Formaldehyde is used in lash adhesives as a key ingredient.
- Exposure to formaldehyde during lash appointments is generally considered harmless, even with excessive exposure.
- Formaldehyde naturally occurs in both indoor and outdoor air environments.
Presence of Formaldehyde
- Contrary to common belief, formaldehyde is found in the body only when related to industrial exposure.
- Hair treatments like smoothening and keratin applications expose individuals to formaldehyde fumes.
Characteristics of Lash Adhesives
- All lash extension adhesives utilize cyanoacrylate as their primary component.
- Humidity plays a vital role in ensuring effective bonding between lash extensions and natural lashes.
- Optimal application of lash adhesives requires consistent humidity levels across different brands.
Humidity Impact on Adhesive Performance
- Higher humidity can cause 'shock polymerization,' where the adhesive solidifies too quickly, potentially compromising the application.
- Conversely, lower humidity levels can accelerate the drying time of lash adhesives, affecting the overall process.
