When we take a look at lash retention and keeping eyelash extensions in place, we need to make sure that any client is keeping their aftercare in mind. With the right knowledge of lashes and keeping eyelashes healthy, a client will be able to understand retention, how lashes will shed over time, and what natural shedding in lashes looks like. Being able to prepare for proper eyelash care and making sure that you can correctly manage the aftercare process will ensure that lashes will last for an extended period of time and that clients will truly understand their pattern for shedding natural lashes. Here are some of the top FAQs that we regularly answer about lash retention and eyelash health:
Is Seasonal Shedding Normal?
Seasonal shedding is a natural time when eyelashes will shed and looks thinner and this often comes down to issues of dryness in the air. Before the spring season begins our body’s natural rhythms change to acclimate to the warmer weather. Our bodies will continue to shed hair and prepare for these rising temperatures. The more humid air coupled with this change to our bodies often leads to more eyelashes naturally shedding and a more faster lash cycle at this time.
Do Lashes Get Oily In the Summer?
Most people sweat more as well as produce more natural oils in the spring and summer months, to help cool our bodies down. Because of this, it is extremely important to maintain a regular cleansing routine for your lash extensions. Going days without washing your extensions could cost you some of your extensions. If you allow your extensions to retain and build up oil, they can stick together, thus disrupting the natural lash cycle of each lash that is stuck together. By sticking to a strict lash cleansing routine, you can maximize your retention. The MYTH of not being able to wet your lash extensions is OVER!
How to Maintain Adhesive As the Seasons Change
An aftercare routine is going to be essential for any client that wants to improve eyelash retention. In the eyelash studio, you’ll need to fight humidity at any time of year. The studio should be running a humidifier or dehumidifier to control the levels of humidity in the studio when eyelash adhesive is being applied, or using adhesive made for the temperature and humidity of the environment around the client and artist at application. Clients should also be using a specialty lash cleaner and regularly keeping up with their eyelash extension appointments. Soon, washing your lashes will become second nature.
