Lash extensions have become increasingly popular in recent years, and for good reason. They provide an effortless and glamorous look that can last for weeks. As a lash stylist, it's important to not only apply the extensions properly but also educate your clients on how to care for them to ensure they last as long as possible. As a wearer of lash extensions, it's important to understand the do's and don'ts of maintenance to prevent damage or loss of the extensions.
For Lash Stylists
Luscious, full lashes are a beauty staple for many people. With eyelash extensions, you can enhance your natural lashes and achieve a dramatic, eye-catching look. However, maintaining those extensions can be a challenge, especially when it comes to getting a good hold. In this article, we will cover everything you need to know about room dynamics, dipping the extension, and achieving a strong hold.
Room Dynamics:
The environment you work in can have a big impact on the quality of your work. Optimal temperature and humidity levels are essential for achieving the best results when applying eyelash extensions. The ideal temperature range is between 68-72 degrees Fahrenheit, and humidity should be between 45-55% depending on room dynamics.
Make sure you have a hygrometer to measure the temperature and humidity in your workspace. Consider how you store your adhesive, and where the vents are located in your workspace. It's also important to take note of any other services performed in your room or salon and their potential impact on the humidity and temperature.
What is a hygrometer?
A simple device that reads your humidity and temperature in a room.
Pro tip: When you receive the hygrometer please read through the
instructions to accurately zero it out before use to get an accurate
reading.
Hold:
Getting a good hold can be a challenge, but it's essential for maintaining beautiful eyelash extensions. The primary reason for poor hold is usually due to client aftercare. Make sure you go over our aftercare procedures with your clients and provide them with a copy.
Pro Tip:
The best time to go over aftercare is before the appointment.
Other common reasons for improper hold include:
When clients report losing a lot of lashes, it's essential to investigate the cause. It's normal to lose around five lashes a day, so it's crucial to determine whether the loss is natural or due to other factors. Ask your clients how many lashes they've lost, and inspect the fallen extensions to see if the natural lash is attached. If it is, then the shedding is likely natural.
If clients are losing more lashes on one side than the other, consider friction as a cause of premature shedding. We often touch our faces without realizing it, and sleeping on one side can cause friction between the lashes and pillowcase. Encourage your clients to be mindful of these habits and adjust them accordingly.

For Wearers of Lash Extensions:
To ensure your lash extensions last as long as possible, there are several things you can do to care for them. Firstly, avoid getting your lashes wet for the first 24 hours after application to allow the adhesive to fully set. When washing your face, be gentle around the eye area and avoid using oil-based products as they can weaken the adhesive bond.
Regular brushing of your lash extensions is also important to break down any pollen, dust, or makeup buildup. Use a clean spoolie brush to gently brush your lashes from the base to the tips. This will help keep your lashes clean and prevent any irritation or infection.
Additionally, finding a reputable lash stylist who uses high-quality products and adhesive is crucial. Don't be afraid to ask for their credentials and experience before booking an appointment. And if you experience any discomfort or irritation with your lash extensions, contact your stylist immediately.
In conclusion, whether you're a lash stylist or a wearer of lash extensions, proper maintenance and care are essential for long-lasting and beautiful lashes. With the right techniques and products, you can enjoy the glamour and convenience of lash extensions without the risk of damage or irritation.
