Clients with A Quick Lash Cycle
All clients have different lash growth cycles, some can be very quick. Let’s take it
back to basics and look at the growth cycle; Anagen (growth phase), Catagen
(transition phase), Telogen (resting phase). Some clients will go through the
cycle quicker than others, meaning they will naturally need infills more
frequently to keep on top of their sets. A little tip to help clients with a fast
growth cycle would be to encourage them to opt for volume extensions. That
way, if lashes do fall out, the gaps will be much less obvious!

Is It Your Fault?
Lash artists often think lashes don’t last because of the glue or poor lash care
by the client when it’s often because of the initial attachment or poor pre-
treatment. HAVE A SELF ASSESSMENT!! It’s easy to pass the buck on poor lash
retention.

Does your glue suit you?
Is it drying too fast to form a proper bond? Remember, STRONG glue doesn’t
always equal the BEST glue for you.

Are you using enough glue?
You need to have enough glue on the extension for it to wrap around the
extension and the natural lash - you don’t want a big blob, but you want to be
able to see the glue on the extension.

Bad isolation/placement - is the extension adhered to the natural lash? Have
you got a good attachment area of at least 2mm, or it is a bit wonky and not
really attached too well?

Are the natural lashes clean? Remember, the presence of ANY makeup, oils,
dust, sebum will result in bad retention. As soon as your client goes to clean
their lashes in the shower, they’ll all fall off if they were attached to the dirt and
NOT the natural lash!

Oily Skin
CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN!!! Some things are just out of your hands! Once the client
has left you to enjoy their gorgeous new set of lashes (that took you hours!!!!) it
is their responsibility to keep them looking fluffy and full. I CANNOT stress
enough how important lash care is. Clients with oily skin in particular run the
risk of extensions just sliding off the natural lash, so it is very important they
clean their lashes often, else their retention will suffer and lose them quicker.

Why would you pay money for lash extensions and not look after them? You
wouldn’t buy a Ferrari and not clean it, am I right??? We retail lash cleansing kits
in our beauty rooms and recommend to all clients they purchase before
leaving, to not only ensure long lasting lashes but to keep them looking on
fleek!!
