Never Let Good Lashes Go to Waste!
Ever wonder why those beautiful lashes sometimes don't last as long as they should? Let's dive into some common culprits and how you can combat them effectively.
Top Reasons Why Lashes Fall Out Prematurely
-
Poor Adhesion: Sometimes, the adhesive doesn't bond well with the natural lashes. This can be due to oily skin or incorrect application techniques. Ensure your adhesive is top-notch and suited for your client's skin type.
-
Oily Products: Products like makeup removers, facial oils, or even certain moisturizers can break down the adhesive. Always recommend oil-free products to your clients.
-
Improper Aftercare: Clients playing with their lashes, excessive rubbing, or not following aftercare instructions can lead to premature lash loss. Educate them thoroughly!Â
Daily Care Routines to Ensure Longer Lash Retention
-
Gentle Cleansing: Encourage clients to clean their lashes daily with a lash-friendly cleanser. This helps remove any dirt, oil, and makeup residue that can weaken the adhesive.
-
Avoid Moisture for 24 Hours: After application, clients should avoid moisture, steam, and sweat for at least 24 hours to ensure proper adhesive curing.
-
Brush Daily: Recommend that clients gently brush their lashes daily with a clean mascara wand to keep them looking neat and prevent tangling.
Professional Tips to Share with Clients for Better Retention
-
Regular Touch-Ups: Advise your clients to come in for regular touch-ups every 2-3 weeks. This keeps their lashes looking fresh and full.
-
No Mascara: Tell clients to skip the mascara. Lash extensions are designed to eliminate the need for it. Mascara can clump and weaken the adhesive.
-
Sleep on Your Back: Mention to clients that sleeping on their back can help protect their lashes. Side or stomach sleeping can cause lashes to rub against the pillow, leading to fallouts.
Keep these tips handy and make sure to pass them on to your clients. Trust us, they'll thank you for their fabulous, long-lasting lashes!
