Maximizing Your Clients Lash Retention in the Summer Heat
Share
Summer, Holidays and Time at the Beach Doesn't need to equal BAD Retention!
How Summer CAN Affect Lash Retention
- Heat & Humidity: Can cause issues during application, causing weakened adhesive bonds and leading to premature lash loss.
- Sweat & Oils: Natural skin oils and sweat CAN break down the adhesive faster.
- Sunscreen & Makeup: Products that aren’t lash-safe can cause buildup on the lash line, affecting both retention and lash health.
Tips for your Clients:
-
Cleanse Daily with a Lash-Safe Cleanser
Sweat, oils, and makeup residue build up quickly in summer. Using a lash-specific cleanser (like our FOAM) every day keeps the lash line clean and healthy. -
Avoid Excess Heat (within the first 24hrs)
Encourage clients to avoid direct heat sources, like saunas or hot yoga, within the first 24 hours after their appointment. -
Rinse after every Swim!
After swimming or sweating, use a squeezy bottle to rinse the lashes clean! This doesn't replace cleansing, but helps in the meantime!
Tips for Lash Artists:
-
Maintain the temperature and humidity within your salon and use the Right Adhesive for you and the Season.
High temperatures and humidity levels can affect adhesive performance.
If your adhesive is drying TOO quickly, try a slower dry time like our PURE adhesive. -
Use a high quality adhesive
Our NOIR, NUDE & PURE all have a high heat threshold and stay flexible on the lashes. This combats the adhesive becoming brittle due to the heat. -
Prep the Lashes Correctly Prior to Application
Always cleanse your clients lashes thoroughly prior to application, use a Degreaser and Prime if needed!
-
Educate Your Clients
The more informed your clients are about lash care, the better their retention will be. Share aftercare tips during appointments and on social media. -
Offer Summer Survival Kits
Create kits with a lash cleanser, lash wand, and squeezy bottle for clients to take home. It’s a small gesture that adds value and helps their lashes last longer.
