This diagnostic chart helps students identify common application mistakes and correct them early during training.
| Common Mistake | What It Looks Like | How to Fix It |
|---|---|---|
| Poor Isolation | Multiple natural lashes stuck together | Slow down and isolate fully before attachment |
| Too Much Adhesive | Large glue bead or clumping | Dip only 1–2mm of lash base |
| Gap at Base | Extension lifts away from natural lash | Place extension flush against lash |
| Attaching Too Close to Skin | Client discomfort or irritation | Maintain 0.5–1mm distance from eyelid |
| Wrong Direction Placement | Lashes twist or cross | Follow natural lash growth direction |
| Overloading Weak Lashes | Premature shedding | Choose shorter/lighter extensions |
| Inconsistent Mapping | Uneven lash line | Follow mapping guide carefully |
| Glue Drying Too Fast | Extensions don't bond well | Check humidity and adhesive speed |
| Releasing Lash Too Early | Extension lifts or slides | Hold lash for 1–2 seconds |
| Rushing the Set | Messy result | Focus on precision before speed |
