Why Lash Retention Matters
Lash retention—the length of time extensions stay attached to natural lashes—is the key to keeping your lashes looking fresh and fabulous. Poor retention can lead to premature shedding, leaving clients disappointed. That’s why at The Lash Mentors, we teach our students the science and artistry behind maximizing lash retention.
5 Expert Tips
Here are 5 expert tips we cover in our certification program to help you achieve long-lasting lash extensions:
1. Start with a Clean Base
A flawless application begins with proper preparation. In our hands-on training, we teach students how to:
- Ensure natural lashes are free of makeup, oils, and residue.
- Use professional-grade primers to create the perfect base for adhesive.
- Employ techniques like micropore tape to gently remove stubborn debris.
These steps are critical for strong adhesion and are a cornerstone of our curriculum.
2. Use Fresh Adhesive
Stale or improperly stored adhesive is a common cause of poor retention. During our course, you’ll learn:
- How to identify when adhesive has expired.
- The importance of replacing adhesive every 30 days.
- Techniques to store adhesive properly to maintain its effectiveness.
By mastering adhesive care, you’ll ensure your clients enjoy lashes that last.
3. Store Adhesive Correctly
Proper storage is just as important as freshness. Our training covers:
- Storing adhesive upright in a cool, dry place.
- Avoiding refrigeration, which can cause condensation and degrade the adhesive.
- Using airtight containers with oxygen absorbers to extend shelf life.
These small but crucial details are part of what sets our certified artists apart.
4. Adapt to Environmental Conditions
Humidity and temperature can make or break lash retention. In our program, you’ll learn:
- How to choose the right adhesive for different humidity levels.
- The role of hygrometers in monitoring room conditions.
- Techniques to adjust your application process based on the environment.
This knowledge ensures you can deliver consistent results, no matter the setting.
5. Teach Proper Aftercare
Retention doesn’t end when the client leaves the studio. We emphasize the importance of educating clients on aftercare, including:
- Using lash-safe cleansers to keep extensions clean and debris-free.
- Avoiding oil-based products, steam, and excessive heat.
- Scheduling regular fills to maintain a full, lush look.
By teaching these practices, you’ll build trust and loyalty with your clients.
