The key to long lasting extensions: lash porosity and importance of cleaning
- Lash porosity: Porosity is term is used to describe the ability of the hair to absorb and retain moisture or adhesive. The texture of the outer layer is known as the cuticle. The Cuticula is the outer cortical lay of the hair and consists of overlapping cells the lie above the hair pulp. The cuticle is elastic and can open and close. Depending on how open to closed, we can classify the lash into one of three categories.
- Cleaning & priming: Throughout the day, our lashes accumulate dirt, oils, and makeup residue. These impurities can create a barrier between the natural lash and the extension adhesive. If not removed, they can weaken the bond, leading to premature shedding of the extensions. Proper cleaning ensures that the adhesive can bond effectively to the natural lash, providing a strong and long-lasting hold.
Reactions to Adhesive, prescription drugs and pregnant clients:
- Allergic Reaction VS Sensitive Clients: Sensitive clients have symptoms such as a runny noise, congestion, tears, etc. lasting 24-36 hours or less. An allergic client will have extreme/mild swelling of the eye accompanied with stingy, watery eyes, runny nose, itching, sore throat and headache symptoms. To minimize the chance of a reaction, it is best to cure the adhesive, visit lash curing accelerants. An allergic client will have extreme swelling accompanying with stingy watery eyes, runny nose, itching, sore throat and headache symptoms.
