What does a loose base on an eyelash extension indicate?

A loose base on an eyelash extension indicates an improperly bonded extension. This situation occurs when the adhesive used to attach the eyelash extension to the natural lash has not formed a strong bond. It can happen for several reasons, such as using an insufficient amount of adhesive, applying the extension too quickly or incorrectly, or the adhesive itself not being compatible with the natural lashes or the environment in which it is applied.

Proper bonding is crucial for the longevity and stability of eyelash extensions; a loose base can lead to premature shedding of the extension, interfering with the desired aesthetic look and potentially causing damage to the natural lashes. Therefore, recognition of a loose base serves as an important indicator for lash technicians to reassess their technique and ensure that extensions are applied correctly for optimal results.
