Ombre brows 😮‍💨

First of all, I love anything aesthetics and appreciate leaders who have taught me, so why not spread the goodness? I have continued to evolve along the way and seek to help others learn from my experiences in the industry. Doing lashes is a very tedious, delicate and technical process with a lot of responsibility over how your clients will FEEL and look, and I find it empowering to show my students how they too, can make a difference!

Common Lash Extension Mistakes❌ *Not isolating properly: when lash extensions aren’t isolated, the lashes will clump and get stick together. This causes severe long-term damage to the natural lash. Natural lashes are all in different stages of growth. While one natural lash is trying to grow, one might need to fall out. An incorrect application bundles up these lashes in the different stages of growth, and it can cause itchiness and pain in the lash line, which can also develop into serious unseen damage to the lash follicle and lead to permanent lash loss. *Using excess lash glue: Will more glue will make for better bonding? Nope! Applying too much glue is a big mistake for several reasons: •It looks terrible clumpy; •It can damage the natural eyelashes by causing them to bear too much weight; •The glue will take a long time to dry, leading to lashes sticking and clumping; •You risk irritation to the eye from the fumes of the excess glue; *Using Lash Extensions that are way too heavy: Lash extensions come in many different thickness. If you choose a lash extension that is very thick (for exemplo, 0.25mm) and place that in a very thin or weak natural lash, this will be a lot of weight for that natural lash to hold upright and keep in place. Too much weight on a natural lash over a long period of time can cause permanent damage to the growth of the natural lash. Professional lash artists must assess their client’s lashes and then choose the correct thickness; *Using lash extensions thar are way too long: So, what’s wrong with long lashes??? Adding too much length is like adding too much weight in that natural eyelash cannot comfortably hold teu extension in place. This puts the eyelash under a lot of strain and can cause damage. For example, if the client’s natural eyelash length is 8 mm, we recommend adding 2-3mm to this, therefore using extensions that are around 10-11mm.

What is Ombre Brows??? Ombre Brows, also known as Powdered Brows, are a semi-permanent eyebrow styling technique that creates a soft shaded brow pencil look.

Practice is the key for perfection🥰, in this photo you can see my very first set of lashes😅 I did in 2018 when I just started doing lashes, and I’m still learning, practicing, taking classes to improve myself every day, because I want to be the best option for my clients😍✨

Do you know why it’s important to do lash fills???🤔 Let’s talk about the Lash Cycle...Our lashes, the same as our hair cycle have three stages of growth Anagen, Catagen and Telogen. Now without going into much details and briefly explain. Anagen is the active or growing stage of our hair growth, Catagen is the transition stage and Telogen is the resting stage. Your Lash Extensions fall out, that is a natural fact, and this happens, because of the natural lashes cycle, your natural eyelashes continue to grow in a replenishing cycle. We can lose 2-3 natural lashes per day, taking this into consideration it would mean that one week natural lash loss would roughly be 21 lashes, two weeks natural lash loss would be roughly 42 and then three week natural lash loss would be roughly 63. With this in mind it’s advised that lash fills are recommended every 2-3 weeks, will very according to the lash speed cycle👌🏻😊
