One thing I wish more lash artists knew earlier:
π The same lash can perform completely differently depending on how it's placed. A lot of us spend time looking for a better adhesive, a better primer, or a better environment, but sometimes the real issue is attachment.
1. Top Placement creates a clean, uniform look and a darker lash line.
Perfect for:
β Straight to normal lashes
β B, C, and D curls
β Clients who love a neat, defined finish.
2. Side Placement is great for correcting lash direction.
If natural lashes grow sideways, cross over, or grow inconsistently, side placement can help create a much cleaner final result. Sometimes styling starts with placement not mapping.
3. Bottom Placement is ideal for:
β Curly natural lashes
β Blonde lashes
β Downward-growing lashes.
A small adjustment underneath can sometimes make the entire set look more seamless.
4. Wrapping Placement is where things get interesting. Many experienced lash artists consider wrapping placement one of the biggest retention upgrades you can learn.
Why? Because the extension isn't just sitting on the natural lash, itβs actually hugging it. More contact, more stability, and better attachment. And better attachment usually leads to better retention. Not because the adhesive changed, but because the placement did.
The longer I do lashes, the more I realize that retention isn't always a product problem. Sometimes it's a placement problem, and sometimes one small adjustment can completely change the result of a set.
Which placement technique improved your retention the most? ππ
