Autumn Lash Shed is Here!

Yep it's that time of the year again.

Autumn lash shed is settling in and I'm here to tell you what that means exactly.

During the summer months, we produce more hair to protect our skin from the sun.  You may have noticed that your hair is fuller and grows in quicker in warmer temperatures.  If you color your hair, you will see that your roots appear to grow out fast as well.

This is all due to your bodies natural reaction to these seasonal changes.   Once the weather starts to change, the blood flow is redirected.  As the body responds and adjusts to the change in temperature, the superfluous hair that grew out in the warm months is no longer needed.  As a result, the dreaded 'Autumn Shed' commences. 

So what does this mean for my lovely lash wearers?

Understand that this is a completely natural occurrence.  Your lashes are not damaged or falling out due to trauma.  They are settling into a knew cycle for the season. 

But, due to the temporary excess shedding, you may need to book your fill appointments sooner.  So instead of every 3 weeks, schedule in 2 weeks.  Another option is to book a longer fill appointment to allow more time to fill a set that is thinner than usual.  

In addition, maintaining your natural lash health is my top priority, so I may use shorter or thinner eyelash extensions in an effort to not overload the new baby lashes growing in . 

The good news - Autumn Lash Shed is only temporary and lasts for about 6 weeks. 

In the meantime, continue to do good after care, drink water, take your vitamins and we will ride it out together.

You Need To Brush Your Eyelash Extensions Everyday and Here's Why!

Eyelash extensions are amazing time savers!  And as much as it saves you time on your daily routine, you still have to brush them everyday.

Brushing your eyelash extensions will:

Keep Your Eyelash Extensions Neat and Orderly – If you have crisscrossed natural lashes or sleep heavily on once side, brushing your lashes with a clean mascara wand will keep them from being tangled.  Like the hair on your head, if you don’t brush it often, the tangles will multiply and become harder to detangle.  With eyelash extensions, you can easily ruin your beautiful set of eyelash extensions by simply neglecting them.  Be aware that excessive tangles can also cause lash breakage over time so don’t skip it.

Separates Your Eyelash Extensions – After showers and cleansing your lashes, you will notice that your lashes my start to clump together because of the moisture. Air dry them or dab with a microfiber cloth first, then gently brushes the lashes to flush and separate.

Remove Eye Shadow – It is recommended to only use powder shadow, as it is easiest to remove.  Sometimes shadow dust will fall onto the lashes giving them a dull look.  You can dip your brush in a bit of water or oil free makeup remover/ cleanser to brush away the fallen dust and restore luster to your lashes.

Your lash artist should be supplying you with at least one mascara wand/spoolie before you leave, as they are essential to maintaining your lashes.  In addition, they should also instruct you on how to brush them gently as safely as it is not the same as applying mascara. 

This little habit will prolong the life of your eyelash extensions so Happy brushing!

Perfect Brows with Brow Tinting

Are you tired of filling in your brows?  Do you have fine hairs that are barely noticeable?  If so, brow tinting might be the answer to your problem.  Intensive Brow Tint is made from a vegetable dye that is safe for facial use.  During this quick treatment, the chosen color and developer are mixed together and applied to the brow hair.  As the mixture processes, the color is deposited resulting in a defined and sharpened look. 

Top 5 Benefits of Brow Tinting

1.     Say goodbye to your brow pencil - The tint will give the appearance of filled-in brows

2.     Tints the most stubborn gray & white hairs

3.     Adds depth and definition to sparse & light brows

4.     Lasts up to 3 weeks

5.     Works for all hair colors including blondes & red heads

If you are ready to chuck the brow pencil and brow powder, a professional brow tint might be the answer to your prayers.

Which One is Better - Hard Wax or Soft Wax?

Pink Hard Wax

Before I started lashing full-time I worked as a waxing specialist in NYC for three years.  I spent a month in Singapore where I mastered their technique/product and fell in love with the ease and results of hard wax.  

Even though I prefer hard wax to soft wax, they both have their place in the waxing room.   Soft wax gets a bad reputation as being harsh and it can be, but with proper use it is just as effective.  The key is to know when and where to use each one.  Ideally, soft wax should only be used on large body parts that are not sensitive nor delicate.  Since soft wax is generally a cheaper product than hard wax, some businesses use it for every service thus ignoring the quality of the experience for its clients.  Lets face it, waxing is not an ouch less event, but there are many ways to make it less traumatic and choosing the right product is one way.

Now that I specialize in luxury lashes, I only offer waxing that compliment my lash services.  Those services include brow shaping, sideburns, lip, and chin waxing.  I use hard wax as it is ideal for facial waxing and is generally safe for most people.   Those with skin conditions, such as acne and rosacea will benefit from using hard wax as it much gentler on the skin.

Top 5 Pros of Hard Wax

1.  Less irritating.

2.  Thicker consistency, which offers better control and less oops!

3.  Works at a low temperature so burns are less likely to occur.

4.  Contains soothing oil which is great for drier skin types as it lubricates just enough to prevent unnecessary discomfort to the skin. 

5.  No paper or muslin is needed to remove hard wax as it hardens naturally and then the wax itself is used to remove the hair.

 So if you have waxed before and have had a bad experience that was not the result of an allergic reaction, try hard wax.  Also keep in mind the experience of your technician.  A lot of times it is not the product that is the issue, but the person using it incorrectly.

Xoxo,

Tandi
