Tips for extending the life of you eyelash extensions…
Avoid getting your lashes wet for the first 24 hours: To allow the glue to properly set, avoid soaking your lashes during the initial curing period.
Be gentle with your lashes: Avoid rubbing, pulling, or tugging on your lashes. Treat them delicately and be mindful when removing makeup or cleansing your face. Harsh handling can cause the extensions to fall out prematurely.
Avoid oil-based products: Oil-based makeup removers, cleansers, sunscreens and skincare products can break down the adhesive bond of the eyelash extensions.
Brush your lashes regularly: Use a clean, soft spoolie brush to gently comb through your lashes daily. This helps to keep them looking neat, prevents tangling, and promotes longevity.
Try to avoid sleeping on your face: Sleeping face down can put pressure on your lashes, causing them to bend or fall out. Try to sleep on your back or use a silk or satin pillowcase that is gentle on your lashes.
High heat and humidity cause us to sweat which can weaken the lash adhesive. If you are someone who enjoys saunas, hot yoga or any type of excessive heat sources, be mindful that you may have to cleanse your lashes more often or get your lashes filled more frequently.
Schedule regular Fill or touch-up appointments: Eyelash extensions will naturally shed with your natural lashes' growth cycle. To maintain a full and flawless look, schedule touch-up appointments with your lash technician every 2 to 3 weeks.
By following these guidelines, you can help extend the lifespan of your eyelash extensions and enjoy beautiful lashes for a longer duration. Remember that individual experiences may vary, and it's essential to consult with your lash technician for personalized advice.
Caring for your Lash Extensions
Caring for eyelash extensions is essential to maintain their longevity and keep your natural lashes healthy. Here are some tips to help you care for your eyelash extensions:
Avoid getting them wet for the first 12-24 hours: After getting eyelash extensions, it's important to keep them dry for the first day to allow the adhesive to fully set. Avoid activities like swimming, saunas, and steam rooms during this time.
Be gentle when cleansing: When washing your face, be careful around the eye area. Use a gentle, oil-free cleanser and avoid rubbing or pulling on your lashes. Instead, lightly pat the area around your eyes to clean them.
Use oil-free products: Oil-based products can weaken the adhesive bond and cause your lash extensions to fall out prematurely. Avoid using oil-based makeup removers, cleansers, and skincare products around the eye area. Look for oil-free alternatives.
Avoid waterproof mascara: You typically won't need mascara with eyelash extensions since they provide a full and voluminous look. If you want to enhance them further, use a water-based or mascara specifically formulated for lash extensions. Avoid waterproof mascaras as they are difficult to remove and can cause damage.
Avoid rubbing or pulling on your lashes: Resist the temptation to rub your eyes or pull on your lash extensions. This can cause them to loosen or fall out and can also damage your natural lashes. If you need to itch or remove something from your eye, use a clean, disposable mascara wand to gently brush through the lashes.
Brush them regularly: Use a clean spoolie brush to gently comb through your lashes daily. This helps to keep them looking neat and prevents any tangling.
If possible, try to sleep on your back to avoid pressing your lashes against the pillow. This can help prevent any unnecessary strain or damage to the extensions.
Schedule regular touch-ups/ fills: Eyelash extensions naturally shed along with your natural lashes. Consult with your lash technician to determine the ideal timing for your fills, usually every 2-3 weeks to maintain a full look.
Remember, everyone's lashes are different, so it's essential to follow the specific care instructions provided by your lash technician. They can give you tailored advice based on your individual needs and the type of lash extensions you have.
Mega Volume Eyelash Extensions
What to know about Mega Volume Lashes
Mega volume lashes are a type of eyelash extension technique that is designed to create a dramatic, full, and voluminous look. They are a more advanced and intense version of traditional volume lashes.
The technique involves applying multiple super-fine lash extensions to each natural lash. Unlike classic lash extensions, where one extension is applied to each natural lash, mega volume lashes use even thinner and lighter extensions. The extensions are made from synthetic materials and come in various lengths, curls, and thicknesses.
To create mega volume lashes, the lash artist carefully handmakes fans by selecting multiple lash extensions and creating a "fan" shape with them. These fans typically consist of 10-20 lash extensions, although some lash artists may use even more for an ultra-dramatic effect. The fans are then dipped into a small amount of adhesive and applied to the natural lashes, close to the lash line, without weighing down the natural lashes.
The result of mega volume lashes is a full, fluffy, and dense appearance. They provide an intense, glamorous look and are suitable for those who desire a more dramatic and eye-catching effect. Mega volume lashes are especially popular for special occasions, photoshoots, or for individuals who prefer a bold and statement-making lash look.
It's important to note that mega volume lashes require a skilled and experienced lash artist, as the technique requires precision and expertise to ensure the safety and comfort of the client. Additionally, proper aftercare is essential to maintain the longevity and health of the lashes. Regular touch-ups are also recommended to maintain the desired look as the natural lashes shed and new ones grow in.
Volume Eyelash Extensions
What to know about Volume Lashes
Volume lashes, also known as Russian volume lashes, are a type of eyelash extension technique that involves applying multiple lightweight lash extensions to each natural eyelash. Unlike classic eyelash extensions, which involve applying a single extension to each natural lash, volume lashes allow for a more dramatic and voluminous look.
The volume lashes technique was developed in Russia and gained popularity worldwide due to its ability to create a fuller and more glamorous appearance. Instead of using a single lash extension, a skilled lash technician uses ultra-fine lash extensions that are much thinner and lighter. These extensions are typically made from synthetic materials such as silk or mink.
To create volume lashes, the lash technician first creates a fan or bouquet of lash extensions by hand. This involves picking up multiple lash extensions with special tweezers and fanning them out evenly. The number of lashes in each fan can vary depending on the desired volume and the client's natural lashes. The technician then carefully dips the base of the fan into a small amount of lash adhesive and attaches it to an individual natural lash, about 1-2 mm away from the eyelid.
The advantage of volume lashes is that they allow for a customized and personalized look. The lash technician can adjust the number of lashes in each fan, creating different levels of volume and density. This technique is especially beneficial for clients with sparse or thin natural lashes who desire a fuller look.
Volume lashes are known for their lightweight and comfortable feel. Because the lash extensions used are so fine, they are lighter in weight and do not weigh down or damage the natural lashes. The lash adhesive used is also specially formulated to be gentle and long-lasting.
It's important to note that volume lashes should only be applied by a trained and certified lash technician. The technique requires skill and precision to ensure the lashes are applied safely and correctly. Additionally, proper aftercare is essential to maintain the longevity of the lashes, including avoiding oil-based products, excessive rubbing, and pulling on the lashes.
Overall, volume lashes are a popular choice for individuals who want a fuller and more voluminous look. They provide a glamorous appearance while still maintaining a natural-looking result.
Hybrid Eyelash Extensions
What to know about Hybrid Lashes.
HYBRID lashes refer to a type of eyelash extension style that combines both classic and volume techniques to achieve a specific look. In the world of eyelash extensions, there are generally two main styles: classic and volume.
Classic lashes involve applying a single extension to each natural lash, resulting in a more natural and subtle enhancement. On the other hand, volume lashes use multiple lightweight extensions, typically in a fan shape, and attach them to a single natural lash, creating a fuller and more dramatic effect.
With hybrid lashes, lash technicians blend these two techniques together. They apply a combination of classic lashes and volume lashes to the client's natural lashes. The classic lashes are interspersed throughout the lash line, while volume fans are strategically placed to add more density and fullness.
The purpose of hybrid lashes is to provide a middle ground between the natural-looking classic lashes and the more dramatic volume lashes. It offers a versatile option that can cater to different preferences and desired outcomes. The classic lashes give a lengthening effect and help fill in any gaps, while the volume lashes add texture, thickness, and a hint of drama.
The specific design of hybrid lashes can vary depending on the client's desired look and the skill of the lash technician. They may use different lengths, curls, and thicknesses of extensions to achieve a customized result that complements the client's natural eye shape and enhances their overall appearance.
Overall, hybrid lashes offer a balanced and personalized option for those who want a combination of natural and dramatic effects. It's important to consult with a professional lash technician who can assess your natural lashes and help you determine if hybrid lashes are the right choice for you.
