Lifting weights till failure

Sorry if I sound dumb but is lifting till failure means you don’t do sets just lift till you can’t no more.

If that is the case my question is that for example if I’m lifting till failure on a hammer curl and my next workout is a concentration curl would my workout failure doing the hammer curl make it harder to do the concentration curl.

Any advice would be appreciated.

You might have a nicer experience finishing eachbset 2-3 lifts before failure. That way you can do more weight over time without burning yourself out.

That way you can do more like 50 reps in a week, 10 per session for 5 days rather then 39 reps, 13 reps over 3 days in a week.

burnout is not lovely.

As well I found going to failure each session is more mentally taxing and I need my mental energy for work. I can't let work or exercise compromise each other.
