Reasons Why Every Eyelash Extension you Apply Do Not Last Long

As a lash extensions specialist, you may get into a situation where every lash you apply on a client does not last long and this may be demoralizing. The following are some of the reasons why this is happening:

• Unregulated environment: If the room in which you apply the lash extensions is not well ventilated and the level of humidity is very high, the lashes you apply will most likely fall off after a few days.

Any time you are working in a room that is too humid, you should ensure that you work fast enough when dipping the applicator in the glue and also on the lash application.

• Poor preparation of the lashes: Before you apply the lashes on a client you should use a cleanser that is specially made for the lashes. If you fail to do this, the glue that is used in holding the glue together may not last long, leading to falling off of the lashes.

The surface on which you apply the lashes should be free from any foreign material if you want to have great end results.

• Poor aftercare by the client: A client who will not follow the instructions given on the proper care of the lashes after application will have the lashes falling off almost immediately after application.

The client may use the wrong cleanser, oily products, or apply a lot of mascara on the lashes which will end up ruining them. You should ensure that you give the right instructions on the proper care of the lashes before the client leaves the spa.

• Use of old eyelash glue: If you use glue that is not fresh, the lashes may fall off after a few days. The glue that has been used more than once will not be as strong as it was initially and will have polymerized inside the bottle.

To maintain the trust of your clients, ensure that the glue used is fresh so that you can be assured of a firm hold.

• Wrong application or use of very little glue on the lash application: another reason why your lashes are falling off could be that you are not using enough glue when applying the lashes. You should also ensure that the lashes are placed in their proper place if you want them to last longer.

Wrongly applied lashes will make the lashes fall off whenever you attempt to brush them as the bond will be very weak.

• Lash shedding: Lash shed can happen if you were not fast enough when you were applying the lashes.

It could also happen if the client is undergoing hormonal changes or is going through a hormonal replacement therapy.
As an aesthetician, you should do your best to ensure that you are not the reason why the lashes are falling off prematurely. Work on your speed, and also ensure that you improve the air circulation in your spa so that the humidity will be convenient for the eyelash extension service.
You should also ensure that the glue you are using in the lash application is fresh so that it will have a strong hold on the lashes so that they will last longer.
