Lash Extensions That Beat the Heat
Summertime brings sunshine, pool parties, and outdoor adventures, but it can also bring challenges for lash extensions. Between sweat, humidity, and water exposure, your clients may notice their lashes struggling to keep up. Fear not! With the right products and techniques, you can create summer-proof lash extensions that last through all the season’s fun. Let’s dive into how to beat the heat and keep those lashes looking flawless.
Common Summer Challenges for Lash Extensions
1. Sweat and Oil Buildup
Sweat and natural oils can weaken the adhesive bond, leading to poor retention.
2. Humidity
High humidity affects adhesive drying time and bonding strength, especially in tropical or coastal areas.
3. Water Exposure
Swimming pools, beaches, and showers can cause lashes to fall off prematurely if not properly cared for.
4. Sunscreen and Makeup
Many summer beauty products contain oils that can break down lash adhesive.
Summer-Proofing Your Lash Extensions
1. Start with a Clean Slate
Always prep the natural lashes thoroughly to remove oils, sweat, and residue. Use Kiara Sky’s Pro Lash Primer for a deep clean. This ensures a strong bond and sets the stage for long-lasting extensions.
2. Choose the Right Adhesive
For hot and humid conditions, you need a reliable glue. Kiara Sky’s Black Pro Lash Glue is designed to hold up in challenging climates, providing a secure, long-lasting bond.
3. Pick Lightweight Lashes
Heavy lashes are more likely to fall off during the summer. Opt for lightweight options like Classic Cashmere Lashes for a natural, breezy look or Wispy Volume Lashes for a textured, summery vibe.
4. Use the Right Tools
Precision is key to a strong bond. Tools like the Favorite Lash Tweezer Bundle help you isolate and apply lashes with accuracy, even in tricky spots.
5. Teach Summer Aftercare
Help your clients protect their extensions with these tips:
- Avoid direct water exposure for 24 hours: Let the adhesive fully cure before swimming or showering.
- Skip oil-based products: Recommend switching to water-based makeup and skincare to avoid weakening the adhesive bond.
- Clean lashes regularly: Encourage gentle cleaning with a lash brush to remove sweat and buildup. Suggest products like the Lash Retention Trio to keep lashes fresh and full.
Bonus Tips for Lash Artists
Monitor Humidity Levels in Your Workspace
Too much or too little humidity can affect your adhesive. Use a hygrometer to keep the environment balanced, and a Mini Lash Fan to control drying time.
Offer Seasonal Lashes
Summer is the perfect time to promote lightweight, natural styles. Use Easy Fan Cashmere Lashes to create quick, customized looks for busy summer schedules.
Provide Emergency Fix Kits
Accidents happen, especially in the summer! Recommend a Lash Glue Removal Bundle for safe removal or quick fixes.
