Everything You Need to Know for Perfect, Long-Lasting Lash Extensions
If you are a lash technician or a client who loves lash extensions, you certainly want your lashes to be long-lasting, maintaining their natural and luxurious look just like the first day. However, to keep lash extensions durable, there are several important factors to keep in mind. In this article, LavisLash will provide you with helpful tips from choosing the right products and lash application process to aftercare tips to ensure your lashes continue to shine!
Choosing the Perfect Lash type
Before starting a lash extension session, selecting the right type of lash is crucial for achieving a natural look and ensuring the durability of the extensions. Depending on the desired lash style, you can choose extensions with the appropriate length, curl, and thickness to deliver the perfect results. LavisLash suggests a few lash types for creating different styles:
Hybrid Set: a combination of classic and fans lashes, creating a fuller effect while maintaining a natural look.
Wispy Set: uses wispy fan lashes with clusters of lashes grouped in the center, adding emphasis and definition to the eyes.
Volume Set: primarily uses fan lashes with a large D (D is the number of lashes in one fan), creating a bold, thick, and striking look, popular among clients who prefer a more dramatic style. However, the volume set requires advanced skills and more meticulous aftercare.
Use High-Quality Adhesive
Lash adhesive is a crucial factor in ensuring that extensions adhere securely and do not fall out prematurely. For lash technicians, choosing a durable adhesive that suits the local climate is essential. For instance, in areas with high humidity (over 60%), it’s best to use an adhesive with strong humidity resistance to help lashes hold more securely. Additionally, room temperature plays an important role; lash adhesive generally performs best in an environment with a temperature of 20-24°C and humidity between 40-60%. If humidity and temperature are not ideal, drying time may be affected, reducing the adhesive's bonding effectiveness. Choose an adhesive with a quick drying time to work efficiently without compromising quality.
Pay Attention to Lash Extension Technique
The lash technician's technique has a direct impact on the durability of the extensions. To ensure long-lasting lashes, keep the following points in mind:
Adhesive Distance: Extensions should not be placed too close to the natural lash root, as this can cause irritation and premature shedding. The ideal distance is about 1mm from the natural lash base.
Proper Adhesive Amount: Avoid using too much adhesive, as it can feel heavy on the eyes and cause lashes to fall out quickly. Using just the right amount of adhesive will help lashes last longer without adding extra weight.
Guide Clients on Lash Aftercare
After completing the lash extension process, it’s crucial to guide your clients on how to care for their lashes to maintain their beauty. You can find detailed instructions in our blog here!
Schedule Regular Lash Touch-Ups
Encourage clients to schedule touch-up appointments every 2-3 weeks. This not only helps replace any naturally shed lashes but also ensures the lash set stays full and long-lasting.
