Apart from the style, what else do we need to know about eyelash extensions?

 

As we tend to focus on what type of eyelash extension looks well and we don't know anything else about it, today Our Lash will take a look at the other things about eyelash extensions except styles.

1. Eyelash extensions don't work for some people:

1) If you just finished lash lift, the eyelashes are too curved for lash extensions to locate so easy to fall off as well.

2) If you just finished eye surgery (double eyelid surgery, eyeliner suture etc.), eyelash extensions must be done after recovery.

3) If you’re with related eye diseases (needle eye, conjunctivitis, eyelid redness, etc.), never try eyelash extensions.

4) If your eyes are particularly allergic, do not try eyelash extensions.

2. Things need to do before you do eyelash extensions:

1) Eye makeup must be removed, lashes must be cleaned, and contact eyes must be removed before grafting.

Before grafting eyelashes, be sure to let the lash technician confirm the state of your eye parts: whether it is suitable for eyelash extensions, whether there is a need to remove eye makeup, remove contact lenses, whether residual grafting needs to be dealt with and so on. If the eye skin is allergic or eye inflammation is temporarily not suitable for grafting eyelashes, you must wait for the disappearance of eye allergy, and try to do eyelash extensions when the eye is not inflamed.

2) Identify the ideal eyelash extension shape

In the process of eyelash grafting, the lash technician can use different lengths of eyelashes to create different styles and shapes, and make up for the shortcomings of your eye shapes.

You need to communicate with the lash technician in advance, tell them the eyelash effect you want, and then with the help of them to choose the type, length and thickness of eyelashes you need.

In addition, if your natural lashes are too sparse, do not insist a thick style, follow up your lash technician’s suggestion to choose a natural style, or if your lashes cannot support the eyelash extensions, the false lash extensions will fall off in short days.

3. Choose a professional lash technician and lash salon.

Because eyelashes and eyes are both in a more sensitive position, as long as a little careless in the process of operation will cause a certain degree of damage to our eyes. Therefore, when we want to graft eyelash extensions, we must find a professional eyelash artist to help us. Professional lash technicians use professional products and are trained to do eyelash extensions without damaging natural lashes or eyes.

Customer’s eye shapes for eyelash extensions options

 

Have you ever experienced a mess lash extensions only after a few days even you followed the after-care guides to maintain your lashes? (If you need by private label lash extensions , please contact with Our Lash)

In this case, the first thing to consider is the wrong specifications of false eyelashes are used. Many people think that the longer the eyelashes, the better, but they ignore the endurance of their own eyelashes. Generally, the false eyelashes that are grafted are about 1/3 longer than their own eyelashes. Purely for the pursuit of length, choosing models that are much longer than their own eyelashes is prone to trichiasis.

In addition to length, the position and curvature of the eyelashes are also important.

False eyelashes have certain curls. To fully merge the two eyelashes, you need to completely overlap at 1/3 of the root, and keep the radian in the same direction. When grafting, it should not be directly attached to the root of the eyelash, and a distance of 0.5mm to 1.5mm from the skin should not irritate hair follicles or cause sensitivity.

Commonly used eyelash curl is divided into B, C and D. B is the closest to real eyelashes, very natural, people who want long lashes and don't wear makeup can choose B curl; C is the most popular curl, can make the eyes more bright, after grafting will appear the natural pupil line; D is slightly exaggerated. After grafting, there will be obvious makeup feeling, which needs to be combined with makeup to look nice.

Specific problem specific analysis, how should we design eyelash extensions according to the eye shapes for different customers?

01. If native lashes are thin and rare

If the customer’s own eyelashes are relatively rare, it is not suitable to choose "explosive thick" shape; if the real eyelashes cannot bear the weight of false eyelashes, the real eyelashes will fall off due to overweight.

02. If native lashes aren't too curvy

If the native eyelashes are relatively straight, do not choose too curly curls as "D curl”, because this will lead to the grafting of eyelashes bifurcation and fall off very fast. In the same way, if you have curly eyelashes, don't choose too straight J curl as well, it’ll also cause bifurcation and falling off. Try to choose a curl that matches the radian of your eyelashes as much as possible.

03. If it is internal double blistering eyes

Single eyelid, puffy-eyed girls are more suitable for eyelash extensions than using mascara. we can choose the lengths of 9-12mm, use 12mm length in the middle and choose B curl of individual lash extensions or Y shape eyelash extensions, in this way can well avoid the original eye problems.

04. If the eyes are round

If the eyes are round, try to choose the “cat eye” style, a bushy style that elongate the eye shapes can make the face look more stereo and feminine. Use short lengths from the head to the middle of the eyes, and use longer length in the eye ends.

Usually this kind of eyelash extensions are with a thick makeup sense ,so when do makeups only need to use the gloss eye shadow to do brightening on it, highlight the relaxed sense of makeup.

05. If the eyes are long and slender

The characteristics of such eyes are that the inner corner of the eye is downward and the shape of the eye is long and slender, and the end of the eye is slanted upward to extend higher than the head of the eye. Eyelashes fall down in the inner corner of the eye, suitable for feather fan eyelash style. Use C curl and lengthening eyelashes in the eye to enhance the deep sense of eyes. Avoid lengthening design to avoid the eyes appear too sharp.

So the length, curl and thickness to use for an eyelash extension set is not decided by the lash technician nor the customer’s preference, let the customer's eye type decide.

 

That’s all today. This is Our Lash.

Why need a professional eyelash extensions removal?

 

This is Our Lash.

Generally speaking, beauty eyelashes should be removed after 4-6 weeks, which will not affect the health of the native lashes, but also keep the best shape of the eyelash extensions.

But many customers don't think it's worth the expense of removing their lashes, so they keep them for a long time, hoping the lash extensions can slowly fall off themselves. This practice is absolutely undesirable, as the lash technician we have to be sure to tell customers the importance of removing eyelashes professionally.

Why eyelash extensions need to be removed

1.Due to our own eyelashes have a natural growth cycle, part of the grafted eyelashes may grow longer with natural lashes, which will not only appear irregular ugly eyelashes, but also may let the eyelashes contaminated with dust bacteria, affect health, so need to be removed.

2. When lashes are removed, the aging gel on both false and real lashes will be removed at the same time. On the one hand it’s to prevent the aging glue damage your own eyelashes, on the other hand to remove and clean the damaged lashes will let your next grafting more firm.

3. Why has it been emphasized that false eyelashes must not be torn off directly, because it is easy to hurt our own eyelashes, the rough pull will destroy hair follicles, affect the growth of eyelashes, seriously destroy hair follicles may not grow eyelashes again..

 

How to remove eyelash correctly & professionally

Steps to remove eyelash extensions (eyelash tray wholesale):

1. Apply the removal film to the curved line of the eyelid to the lower lashes.

2. Prepare two cotton swabs, one to press the hair peak, the other to dip in a small amount of eyelash removing cream, use the eyelash removing wand to take an appropriate amount of cream, and apply it to the root of the glue by rotating inward, be sure to rotate inward repeatedly.

Note: the paste and gel should not go into the eyes, otherwise the customer's eyes will hurt like pepper water!

3. Apply the eyelash wand to one eye first, then the other eye (because the unglue time of the paste is 3-5 minutes)

4. Gently rub the eyelashes after applying to make the removal cream better penetrate and remove the eyelash extensions faster.

5. The left hand can take the makeup remover cotton, use the right hand gently take off the eyelashes with tweezers, and put the removed eyelashes on the makeup remover cotton.

After removal, there is a very important step. Be sure to use tweezers to scrape off the residual removing cream at the root, so that it will not turn white when you finally clean. You can see that there is black glue on the residual removing cream.

6. After cleaning, remove the eyelash gasket after shaving. Pay attention to a small detail, lift the eyelid with your finger and take it off slowly, so that the removing cream will not touch the upper eyelid.

7. Dip the paper shaft cotton rod into the cleaning solution and clean from the root to the outside to avoid residual removing cream on the eyelids.

8. Dip a cotton cloth into the cleaning solution and wipe your eyelashes at 360° to get them completely clean.

As a lash technician, you should know that you are engaged in a very delicate and patient job. Only with professional knowledge, skilled operation skills, the best design and service, can win the customer's long-term trust and support.

Nail separation reasons

 

We often heard of some complains that their manicure is easy to warping and separation, which is really annoyed. Today Our Lash will talk about some of the most common issues to look out for when you do nail cosmetology.

 

Common reasons of manicure tip warping:

1) If the edge of the nail is not done well, the fingertip will easily fall off after several times of opening the can or peeling oranges.

2) The nail itself is thin and soft, after contact with water it’ll be softer while the glue is hard, so the toughness is not enough, when the nail is bent, the nail polish glue will split from the middle part of the bend, thus falling.

3) The glue is too thick, the inside is not dry, and the adhesion to the nail is not enough;

4) There is no match between glue and glue, especially when soft glue meets hard glue, the front end is easy to fall off; Hard glue can be understood as the glue with insufficient toughness, and soft glue on the contrary.

 

Common reasons for unwarping of the back end of the manicure:

 

1) There’re dusts or grease on the surface of the nail, easy to make the subsequent glue and nail surface separated;

 

2) The polish of natural nail is not enough, just casually polish the nail surface but ignore the surface around, may not have enough adsorption force for the subsequent glue;

3) The glue applied to the skin will be separated from the skin, easy to lead to warping;

 

Common causes of bottom glue drop:

1) Engraving grinding is not enough, some places are not polished, and resulting in the glue and nail cannot fully fit;

2) The cleaning is not enough, there is grease, moisture or impurities on the nail surface will lead to nail oil glue cannot fit the nail, there will be shrinkage glue falling;

3) Not apply nail polish on edges or painted beyond nails;

4) Light time is not enough, the standard light time is LED light 60 seconds, UV light 120 seconds, but the nature of the product is different, for reference only!

 

Common causes of nail polish glue (whole piece) dropping:

1) There are impurities on the bottom glue;

2) The bottom glue is not dry; The coating is too thick, which leads to the light when it is not dry, or the thickness of the coating is uneven, and some places are dry and some places are not;

3) The bottom glue used is different from the nail polish glue brand, resulting in rejection;

4) No edges or painted beyond nails.
