There are a number of potential reasons that you may be struggling as a lash artist or with some of the first eyelash extensions that you are installing for yourself. Eyelash sets need to have a quality fullness in order to create a striking impact in the look that they create. If you want to make sure that your last extension sets can be as full as possible, it’s important to watch out for some of these top lash extension issues that you could face:
Improper Isolation
Many new eyelash artists often face the same struggle of trying to wrangle each one of the eyelash hairs into the tweezer tips so that they can isolate the area. It may be easy to have a nonchalant attitude towards the application of extensions when they happen attached to natural lashes or when you skip a few hairs. Improper isolation technique can often change the volume of any eyelash set. It cuts your potential fullness in half when you are able to isolate each individual hair. If you or your client has over 100 natural lashes on each, you’ll need to apply the majority of your extensions to create a full look. When you’re only doing 50, this can look incomplete and it can also change the way that the lashes look over time as the natural lashes grow out.
Avoiding Extension On Every Lash
The best lash lines will often create some of the finest levels of volume as well. If you have natural lashes that are in many different stages of growth, it can be tough to find the natural lash line and extend every lash. Some lashes may be just growing in and some may be in a mid-growth stage or a full mature stage, isolating the smaller lashes and working to create an extension on every natural lash to make sure that you have the best starting point for applying eyelash extensions.
Covering Natural Lashes With Adhesive
It can be easy to get careless with adhesive especially when you are new as a lash artist. A little bit of adhesive can often go a long way. Rather than putting unnecessary stress on your lash tips, using adhesive can secure lash extensions. Putting too much adhesive on the natural lash can take away some of the initial thickness of the natural lash. It always leaves lashes looking very thin and using adhesive sparingly along the joint connector between the eyelash extension and the natural lash will often lead to a fuller and healthier lash that lasts longer.
Adding Too Much Length
If you extend natural lashes to an extreme degree, this can often add more space between the tips of the lashes which can reduce the look. Keeping your lash extensions between 2 to 3 mm longer than your natural lash will ensure that lash tips can remain neat and close together for maximum volume. Working at discovering the best types of extensions for each individual can take time, but keeping them shorter is often the best way to create a volume with impact.
