How To Apply Lash Clusters
What Are Lash Clusters?
Lash clusters are small segments of lashes designed to mimic professional lash extensions. Instead of applying a full strip lash, lash clusters are applied underneath your natural lashes to create a seamless lash extension look.
DIY lash clusters allow you to create salon-style lashes from home without expensive appointments or hours in a lash chair.
What You Need To Apply Lash Clusters
Before applying lash clusters, gather the tools needed for application:
• lash clusters
• lash adhesive
• tweezers
• lash presser
• lash cleanser
Starting with clean lashes helps the adhesive bond properly and allows your DIY lash extensions to last longer.
Step 1: Clean Your Natural Lashes
Begin by washing your lashes with an oil-free lash cleanser to remove makeup, oils, and residue.
Clean lashes help lash adhesive bond properly and improve lash retention.
Step 2: Curl Your Natural Lashes
Use a lash curler to gently curl your natural lashes. Curling helps your natural lashes blend with the lash clusters and creates a more lifted look.
Step 3: Apply Lash Cluster Glue
Apply a small bead of glue to the top of the lash cluster band.
Allow the adhesive to become tacky for about 60–120 seconds before applying the lash cluster.
This step is important because tacky glue creates a stronger bond.
Step 4: Apply Lash Clusters Under The Lash Line
Using tweezers, gently place the lash cluster underneath your natural lashes just above the waterline.
Continue applying clusters across the lash line until your desired lash look is achieved.
Many lash clusters are pre-mapped to make application easier and help guide placement.
Step 5: Press Lashes Together
Once all clusters are applied, use a lash presser to gently press your natural lashes and the lash clusters together.
This step helps fuse the lashes together and improves how long your DIY lash extensions last.
How Long Lash Clusters Last
When applied correctly with the right lash adhesive, lash clusters can last 7–10 days.
They are designed to stay secure through:
• sleeping
• showers
• workouts
• everyday activities
