Lash Extensions in Summer – How to Work Effectively on Hot Days
3rd Jun 2025
Summer brings unique challenges to lash salons – rising temperatures and high humidity levels can affect your glue and application precision. That’s why lash styling during summer requires extra care and adjustments to your working environment.
We’ve put together some key tips to help you stay in control during those hot, humid days – and deliver flawless results no matter the weather.
How does heat affect lash glue?
The key to long-lasting lash extensions is proper polymerization – the curing process of the glue. High temperatures speed this up, often too much, which can prevent proper lash placement and result in weak bonds.
When the temperature rises, it’s best to switch to a slower-drying adhesive, which gives you more time for precise placement. One of the best choices for unstable summer conditions is Green Glue by Noble Lashes, designed for challenging environments like high heat and humidity.
Lash Tip: Use a jade stone for your glue drop – its cool surface slows down drying time and helps you stay in control.
Summer humidity – your glue's hidden enemy
Humidity in summer can spike quickly and accelerate glue drying, giving you less time to attach lashes properly. When the air is saturated with moisture, the curing process speeds up dramatically, which can lead to poor retention.
The solution? A hygrometer. This small device helps you monitor both humidity and temperature in your workspace so you can adjust your products accordingly:
-
<30% humidity – choose glues formulated for low humidity
-
>70% – go with Green Glue, your best choice for high humidity
Lash Tip: Uncontrolled humidity = unstable glue = weak retention. Monitor your environment daily to keep results consistent!
What lash prep products work best in summer?
It’s not just your adhesive that matters – your prep routine plays a big role in retention during summer.
Avoid primers and cleaners that can over-stimulate curing
✅ Switch to a lash shampoo – gentle cleansing without accelerating polymerization, perfect for summer conditions
Lash Tip: Keep your glue fresh by storing it in a thermal pouch or vacuum container. This protects it from heat and moisture, keeping the consistency stable all day long – even in hot, stuffy afternoons.
✅ Quick recap – how to survive summer in the lash salon:
☀️ Choose the right adhesive for the current conditions
Monitor your workspace with a hygrometer
Use cooling tools like jade stones
Replace primers with gentle lash shampoo
Use slower-setting glues to give yourself more control
With just a few adjustments, your lash work will remain smooth, stable, and high quality all summer long – and your clients will definitely notice the difference!
