Prep. Bond. Finish. Trial three professional 1g samples designed to support different stages of your lash treatment before committing to full sizes. The Lash Retention Trio brings together three UK-made, cosmetic-grade products: 1g pH Balancer – prepares and balances the natural lash surface. Your choice of 1g Lash Adhesive – creates the bond, with four curing speeds available. 1g Superbonder – supports final adhesive curing and bond flexibility. Sample set: 3 x 1g productsBest for: Trialling a complete prep, bond and finishing routineProfessional use only Why Choose the Lash Retention Trio? Good retention isn't created by one product alone. Preparation, adhesive choice, application speed, attachment, temperature, humidity and aftercare all play a part. The trio lets you trial three products with three different jobs: pH Balancer → PrepLash Adhesive → BondSuperbonder → Finish It's not about adding more products for the sake of it. It's about understanding what each product does and deciding what works within your own treatments. 1. pH Balancer – Prep Used after cleansing, our pH Balancer helps remove light residue and oils while preparing the natural lash surface for adhesive application. It contains less alcohol than a traditional strong primer and is designed for controlled professional use where appropriate. Apply sparingly with a clean microbrush and allow the lashes to dry completely before application. The aim isn't to aggressively strip the natural lash. Clean. Balance. Prepare. 2. Choose Your 1g Lash Adhesive – Bond Choose the adhesive that matches your actual application speed, rather than simply choosing the fastest. Meadow – 1–2 Seconds A more forgiving curing speed for newly qualified or slower lash artists who need additional placement time. Spring – Approx. 1 Second For intermediate and confident artists looking for a faster cure while maintaining control. Wildflower – 0.5–1 Second For fast, confident lash artists with quick placement. Damselfly – Approx. 0.3 Seconds Our fastest adhesive, designed for advanced artists with extremely fast placement. An adhesive that cures too quickly may begin curing before you've completed the attachment, potentially contributing to poor bonding or pop-offs. An adhesive that cures too slowly can leave extensions mobile for longer, increasing the risk of stickies. The fastest glue isn't automatically the best glue. The right speed for you is. 3. Superbonder – Finish Superbonder is the finishing step. Once the set is complete, it is applied sparingly to the adhesive bonding points to support final curing and help maintain a more flexible cured bond. Wait approximately 3 minutes after completing the set, apply a small amount using a clean microbrush and allow approximately 2–3 minutes to dry before the client opens their eyes. Superbonder can support a controlled retention routine, but it doesn't replace correct preparation, attachment or adhesive choice. Working Environment Our adhesives are designed to work within: Temperature: 20–24°C / 68–75°FHumidity: 40–70% RHSweet spot: Approx. 55% RH Our traditional adhesives share the same recommended working range and are differentiated primarily by curing speed and viscosity, rather than being separate formulas for different humidity levels. Higher humidity will generally accelerate curing, while lower humidity will generally slow it down. If your humidity is low and your adhesive is curing too slowly, our Low Humidity Retention Booster may be more appropriate than simply adding additional prep products. For more help, see our FREE Lash Adhesive Retention & Environment Guide. Does the Trio Guarantee Better Retention? No - and no single product can. Retention can be affected by: Adhesive speed Temperature and humidity Preparation Natural lash condition Attachment Application technique Client aftercare Natural lash cycle The Lash Retention Trio is designed to support a good working routine, not compensate for poor attachment or an adhesive that doesn't suit your speed or environment. UK-Made Cosmetic Grade Formulations All three products are manufactured in the UK using cosmetic-grade ingredients and controlled manufacturing processes. pH Balancer Ingredients Aqua, Alcohol Denat., Parfum, Biotin, Cinnamal, Eugenol, Limonene Lash Adhesive Ingredients Ethyl-2-Cyanoacrylate, Trimethylolpropane Triacrylate, Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA), Carbon Black Carbon Black is excluded from clear adhesive formulations. Superbonder Ingredients Aqua, Alcohol Denat., Parfum, Sodium Hydroxide, Biotin Sample Shelf Life Because these are 1g samples, they have a shorter usable life than the equivalent full-size products. pH Balancer & SuperbonderUnopened: Approx. 2 monthsOnce opened: Use within 30 days for best performance 1g Lash AdhesiveUnopened: Approx. 3 weeksOnce opened: Use within 3–5 days for best performance Due to their small volume, samples can be more sensitive to air exposure and may dry out more quickly. All samples are freshly packaged prior to dispatch. Patch Testing Ladybug Lashes requires a patch test before using our lash adhesive on a client. Carry out the patch test 24–48 hours before treatment using the adhesive intended for the full application. For lash extension adhesive, our recommended method is to apply 5–10 lash extensions per eye, rather than applying adhesive directly to the skin. A negative patch test cannot guarantee that a reaction will not occur during or after a full treatment. Always follow any additional requirements set by your insurer. Who Is It For?
