Stronger Lash Retention Starts with This Duo

Aug 17, 2025

If your lash sets are looking great at the end of the appointment but not holding up weeks later, your adhesive game might need an upgrade. Good technique is only part of the equation. Long-lasting retention comes from the right combo of products working together.

At Mega Lash Academy, we stand by a simple, high-performance system that gets real results:

👉 Megahold Adhesive + Megabonder = The Retention Duo

This power pair has helped lash artists cut down on premature shedding, reduce client complaints, and keep lashes looking full between fills. It’s fast, easy to use, and seriously effective.

Step 1: Megahold Adhesive — Strong, Fast, Reliable

Let’s start with the star of the show. Megahold Adhesive is designed for lash artists who don’t mess around. With a 1 second dry time and a flexible bond that holds up under pressure, it’s the go-to glue for clean, long-lasting lash lines.

Why lash artists swear by it:

  • Ultra-fast dry time for efficient lashing

  • Works in 35 to 65% humidity

  • Flexible, long-lasting bond = better retention

  • Medium thin consistency for clean application and no clumping

Whether you’re doing classic, volume, or mega volume sets, Megahold gives you a reliable, flexible bond that keeps lashes in place until the next fill.

Step 2: Megabonder — Lock In the Retention

Once you’ve placed the last lash, it’s time to seal the deal. Megabonder instantly cures the adhesive, reduces exposure to fumes, and protects the lash bond from oil, moisture, and other common retention killers.

Why it’s essential:

  • Instantly cures adhesive, reducing shock curing

  • Extends retention by up to 30%

  • Minimizes irritation for sensitive clients

  • Adds a moisture-resistant layer for longer-lasting lashes

💡 Pro tip: After finishing your lash set, wait two minutes. Then apply a small amount of Megabonder to the lash line using a microfiber brush. Just a tiny amount goes a long way.

Bonus: Add Suprimer for Oily or Difficult Lashes

Not every client needs a primer, but when you're working with oily lashes, retention problems, or clients who work out daily, Suprimer is your secret weapon. It preps the lashes by removing oil, debris, and buildup that can interfere with bonding.

When to use Suprimer:

  • Clients with very oily skin or lashes

  • Retention problems despite good technique

  • Humid or sweaty environments

  • Makeup or product buildup at the lash line

Use it only when needed, this isn't an every-client, every-time product. But when you do need it, it can make a big difference.

Keep It Simple, Keep It Strong

You don’t need ten products to get great retention. With the Retention Duo—Megahold Adhesive and Megabonder—you’ve got everything you need to create long-lasting lash sets with fewer issues and better results.

Add Suprimer when the client calls for it, and you’ve got a pro-level system that covers all your bases.
