TOP 10 mistakes people make when applying eyelash extensions

 

Top 1 Graft eyelash extensions on those thin, soft real lashes

This is the most common problems that eyelash technicians are facing, when a customer’s natural lashes are soft and thin, that’s really a test of the skills of a lash technician.

When applying try to choose thick eyelashes to graft (do not choose the lashes with white roots which are in fall off period), If thin and soft eyelashes burden too heavy, will shorter the growth cycle of true eyelashes, lead to falling off earlier so true eyelashes will be less and less.

Top 2 Blind chase for speed glues

The eyelash extension glue is not the faster the better, choose the correct bond with your grafting speed is the best, so that can avoid the glue drying too fast in the grafting process and showing false adhesion, false adhesion will lead to eyelash extensions falling off soon after grafting.

Top 3 The eyelash extensions are applied too far from the root of natural lashes.

Because eyelashes are growing every day, if we graft too far from the roots, the real eyelash support is not enough, will lead to false eyelashes crooked, messy, or even fall off in advance. According to different eyelash conditions, leave around 0.5mm to 1.5mm to the root is the best distance.

Top 4 One piece of lash extensions is applied to more than one natural lash

If two natural lashes are connected together, no matter with lash extensions or not, people will feel quite uncomfortable and will keep rubbing eyes, so the eyelash extensions will be rubbed off, ending up in a waste of time and money. Lash technicians should practice more to make sure the natural lashes can be separated well with tweezers.

Top 5 More than one piece of lash extensions are applied to one natural lash

If natural eyelash are applied with too many false eyelash extensions, natural eyelash burden will be too heavy, pressure eyelash and block eyes, easy to cause customers frequent rubbing, poor firmness and comfort. So make sure to apply one false eyelash extensions to one natural lash to avoid possible problems.

Top 6 Apply eyelash extensions to eyelids instead of lashes

The eyelash adhesive is chemical, direct contact with the skin can cause allergy, swelling, suppuration and other problems. In severe cases, it can cause skin sensitivity, after which eyelashes cannot be grafted any more. This is very important and it is the mistake you can’t make.

Top 7 The grafting is too close to the root of natural lash

If apply to the root distance is too close, the root of the false eyelash is easy to touch the eyelid, there is a foreign body sensation and poor comfort. The closer the true eyelashes are to the tip, the smaller they are, and the less supportive they are. Conversely, the root of the true eyelashes is the hardest and thickest, and the most supportive. Always remember to attach 0.5mm to 1.5mm from the roots of natural lash.

Top 8 Wrong grafting direction

The wrong direction of grafting will lead to the overall messy and unattractive; when grafting, always keep the eyelash tip facing the eyelash technicians.

Top 9 Too much or too less adhesives cause the apply is not firm enough

False adhesion is not strong enough; the grafted eyelashes will fall out in a short period of time. As lash technician, we must practice more and more to grasp the correct amount of glues in different eyelash works.

Top 10 Only take customer requirements without considering the actual situation

As a professional lash technician, we must design the lash extensions according to customer’s eye shapes, face type, eyelash conditions and other actual situation, if customer request a false eyelash extension type that not suits herself, we must give professional advice or at least tell her the possible adverse consequences.

The eyelash extension tips on corner of eye (canthus of eyes)

 

We all know that eyelash extension is not easy work, among the whole process of grafting the most headaches position is the canthus of eyes.

The eyelashes in the canthus are not only soft, short, and easy to cross each other, so it is more difficult to fit but easier to fall off.

If you graft eyelashes to canthus in the same operation as lashes in the middle, later you will find the tip of the lashes crossed, or the two ends of the graft eyelashes are easy to wobble in the next day and so on. Why is canthus of eyes so difficult to graft?

The first is the problem of grafting gesture.

As the position of the graft changes, your hand gestures and support points should also change slightly.

The second is the processing of the fitting position.

Canthus eyelashes have their own growth direction, when grafting eyelashes, hair tip orientation position also need to be processed, no matter what kind of eyelash extensions you’re working, you must make sure that eyelash hair tip final orientation position is the eye head; again, the tail of the eye is towards the tail of the eye.

The third is the eyelashes’ different characteristics of inner & outer canthal region.

The eyelashes of canthus are thin and short, and they cannot bear too much weight. Therefore, compared with other parts, they are easy to fall off.

What are some tips when grafting canthus of eyes?

First, in the selection of eye patches, choose a thin one.

First of all, it is necessary to pay attention to the selection of eye pads, not too thick, otherwise the position of the eye head is easy to touch the true eyelashes, and finally the glue and eyelashes are also easy to stick to the eye patches, choose thin eye stickers to gently lift the eyelids of inner eye canthus to let the eyelashes show out.

Second: Change grafting gesture

The inner and outer sides of canthus is oriented differently from the middle part, so when grafting, we should learn to sideways of the hand gesture, along the direction of the hair tip.

Third, learn to change the direction of false eyelash tips.

In addition to changing your hand gestures, try changing the orientation of the tips of your false eyelashes.

When grafting inner canthus, take false eyelash at 1/3 position, pull out a larger Angle to the right, and then take it down to form a back open Angle, so that the inner corner is not only good fit, fan open Angle will be very nice as well.

When grafting outer canthus, the tail of the grafted eye need to be pulled to the left at a larger Angle, which will make it easier to fit the tail of the eye, and the hair peak will be opened to the left, creating a fan-shaped shape with this method.

In short, the central idea of canthus grafting is that the grafting direction of the inner side of eye is towards the inner side, and the direction of the outer canthus is towards the outer side.

Q4：Can I use mascaras after eyelash extensions?

After eyelash extensions, the eyelashes will have a thick curly three-dimensional effect, natural and beautiful than false eyelashes, mascara and makeup removal products will cause a bad impact on the eyelash extensions, so try not to use mascara.

Avoid waterproof mascara that requires makeup remover, because oily products will shorten the life of your eyelash extensions. In addition when apply mascaras, avoid eyelash roots as far as possible, begin from the middle of lashes is better.

Q6：Why my eyelash extensions start falling off after only a few days?

On the one hand, there might be a problem with the glue or grafting techniques on the lashes you have done.

On the other hand, we lose 3-5 natural eyelashes every day, but because the eyelashes are small, you may ignore the missing of eyelashes. Eyelash extensions are attached to your own eyelashes during grafting. So when your own eyelashes fall off, the eyelash extensions that are grafted on them will also fall off. With eyelash extensions your attention to your lashes is heightened, and they are thicker and darker than your natural lashes, so you tend to notice the lashes falling off, mistakenly thinking they are missing more than before.

Q7：Can eyelash extensions contact with water?

The new made eyelash extensions cannot touch water within 8-12 hours. When washing your face in the morning and evening, do not splash your face with water as usual, avoid eye cleaning, do not touch your eyelashes as far as possible when drying with a towel, and do not touch water.

The eyelash extensions will reduce their adhesion after they come into contact with oily makeup, so try to avoid oily makeup.

After grafting eyelashes, if the makeup removal becomes inconvenient or unskilled, it is best to use a cotton swab containing a makeup remover to help remove the eye makeup.

Q8：What should I do if the eyelash extensions fall into my eyes?

It should be rinsed in time with normal saline for several times. If you can't rinse it out at last, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible.

When apply eyelash extensions

From the point of view of consumer, choose a regular eyelash shop, let more professional eyelash artists to choose eyelash for you, can be a bit safer. From the perspective of professional grafting, grafting style is different, the choice of eyelash material, quantity and so on are also different.

1.      In terms of false eyelash fibers, choose soft, fine material, the damage to real eyelash is smaller, retention is also relatively longer.

2.      When choosing a style, don't just go for length and density. If the false eyelashes you choose are too long or too thick, which is beyond the tolerance of your eyelashes, it will cause a lot of damage to your eyelashes, and it will be easy to fall off.

3.      In terms of glue choice, if you want to last longer, you can choose adhesives with longer duration. However, it should be noted that longer duration glues only suitable for all-non-sensitive skin types.

4.      Eyelash extensions will not fall off at once like sticking false lashes, but follow the footsteps of natural lashes and fall off one by one, if you want to keep lashes in good condition for a long time, it is recommended to repair once every two to three weeks.

5.       

Follow-up maintenance

1. After each grafting, whether re-grafting eyelashes or repairing eyelashes, avoid contact with water and steam within 48 hours, and do not take a bath, sauna, yoga, or other sports sweat easily.

2. Ensure that the eye products you use do not contain oil. Oily substances in cosmetics, makeup removers and skin care products will make glue lose its stickiness.

3. Avoid waterproof makeups, especially waterproof mascara. Because it breaks the glue and make the grafted lashes fall off prematurely.

4. Don't pull your lashes. When you find there’s false eyelash extension about to falling off, do not pull your lashes off, or it’ll damage your eyelash greatly. The correct way is to use an eyelash comb to smooth the lashes slowly and let them fall off naturally.

5. Avoid your eyelash extensions when doing eyelash makeups, the less you contact with your lashes, the less eyelashes will fall off, the more eyelashes will be retained, the longer the eyelashes will stay.

Why do my lash extensions fall out on one eye?

 

There are many reasons for the fast falling of eyelash extensions. From the point of view of the lash salons, it can be summarized as follows:

1. Technical reasons

Lash artist is in terrible mood and not serious and carefully enough when doing eyelash extensions;

Lash artists did not follow the standard method of grafting so used improper thickness of lashes on customers;

Novice grafting, the mastery of technology is not skilled;

Lash artists speed up the grafting because of in a hurry for the next customer, or want to off duty early;

The tweezers fell to the ground during grafting and were damaged, causing manipulation problems when continuing grafting;

The glue is not uniform;

Lack of glues in root causes root warping;

...

2. Product reasons

The cotton swabs used for cleaning failed to completely remove the grease from eyelashes;

Glue expiration causes non-sticking;

The quick drying glue causes novice mistakes before they are fully glued;

In the graft process did not replace the glue droplets in time;

...

3. Service reasons

Before grafting, customers used oil-based makeup remover but the lash extension artists didn’t communicate well with customers;

True lashes are not cleaned thoroughly before grafting;

The hair dryer did not thoroughly dry the graft glue after grafting;

...

4. Maintenance reasons

Water on eyelashes within six hours of grafting;

Waterproof mascara was used;

Pull the grafted eyelashes with hands;

Swim regularly, but do not use eyelash fixer to protect;

Like to sleep on her stomach, eyelashes are squeezed together;

After grafting, oily makeup remover was used and the eyelash glue was unglued;

Rinse the grafted eyelashes directly with a shower nozzle;

...

5. Other reasons

After the eyelash extensions, the customer just lost love and cried for three days;

The customer was playing with his child at home, and the child spilled milk on his newly grafted eyelashes;

Be caught in the rain for half an hour after eyelash extensions;

...

Fundamentally speaking, all the reasons that lash extensions falling off are the reason of the lash artists; for example, the customer goes to the salon for the first time and she washes her face within 6 hours after eyelash extensions, resulting in eyelashes falling off.

The reason appears to be caused by the customer washing his face, but in fact, it may be caused by the fact that the eyelash artist is too busy to repeatedly emphasize the precautions of eyelash grafting to the customer.

Therefore, the eyelash shop must strengthen the publicity and training in this aspect, and analyze the causes and solve the problems in time, rather than putting the responsibility on the customer, which will only push the customer to your competitors.

Only seriously treat every customer, every grafting, in order to win more customers, shop business will be better and better.
