Throughout the springtime, it’s fairly common for us all to start shedding some lashes. The same can be said about the autumn season. It’s likely that you may notice that there are more gaps in your lashes throughout these times of the year and you may be wondering why there are problems with retention during this time for eyelash extensions. Here is some information about lash shedding season and what you should know about how to improve eyelash retention:
Lash Shedding Season
We shed our hair including our lashes when changes in temperatures start to occur. The summer weather changes our skin and it also changes our lashes. We notice that you are sweating more often or producing more oil with your skin, the chance that you’re going to shed eyelashes as well. The average person loses 5 to 7 natural lashes every day and this can increase dramatically through temperature changes. The loss of an eyelash often goes unnoticed but when the loss of eyelashes ramps up, it can become more noticeable as you are applying your daily mascara or attempting to get more volume out of your lashes.
Talking To Clients About Lash Shedding
Talking to your clients about lash shedding can be important. If the weather has been changing consistently discuss with your clients what they can expect from lash shedding season and how the process is entirely natural.
Limiting The Effects of Lash Shedding
There is really no product that’s going to prevent the shedding of lashes, especially during temperature changes. Each client can be affected differently by lash shedding but is important to take a look at each client as an individual and how they’re affected at every appointment. Figure out the best infill times for each client and make sure that they can use nourishing treatments such as specialty mascara to disguise the gaps and nurture eyelashes.
Encourage the use of growth serum before appointments and make sure that your clients are able to use formulas that are produced with eyelash extensions in mind. Some of the best eyelash extension friendly serums can boost the density of lashes by up to 79%. This can quickly fill in the gaps between natural lashes and make sure that your client can have more confidence in their eyelash extensions.
