Client’s Eyelash Extension: Why are my eyelashes shorter than they use to be?

Eyelashes have long been regarded as a symbol of beauty. Long, thick eyelashes are a desirable physical feature, regarded as ideal by many societies and cultures for both men and women. While the primary function of the eyelashes is to protect the lid margin from dust, debris, and other particles in the air and environment, they also enhance and draw attention to expressive eyes.

The optimum lash length that humans require to adequately protect the eye from harm is one-third the width of the eye. Symptoms of short or thin eyelashes can range from minor self-esteem issues to frequent medical problems as a result of constant obstructions in the eyes. Fortunately, today modern, after consulting with a plastic surgeon, modern advancements in eyelash growth treatments, and extensions can be prescribed as a treatment.

Although short lashes are not always a sign of a medical problem, they can sometimes indicate serious health issues. Patients with short lashes should be evaluated by a doctor for analysis, especially if they are bothered by foreign materials getting into their eyes regularly.

A brief history of lash extensions

Lash extensions are a semi-permanent method of lengthening your natural lashes. The lash extension is glued to your natural lash about 1 millimeter from your eyelid’s base. With proper care, lash extensions can last anywhere from 2 to 4 weeks. They should not be longer than one-third of their original length if properly cared for. As long as your client receives regular fill-ins, she should be able to keep her new look. However, if you notice that her eyelashes are getting shorter with each fill-in, it may be time to consider getting rid of the extensions entirely.

Reasons why a client’s lashes may become shorter

1. If your client uses a low-quality lash extension adhesive, the lash will break down and shorten.

2. If your client does not properly cleanse their lashes, a buildup of makeup, oil, and dirt can cause the lashes to weigh down and shorten.

3. If your client uses waterproof mascara, the lashes may dry out.

4. Excessive rubbing of the eyes by your client can cause the lash to break down.

5. If your client suffers from an underlying medical condition, such as alopecia or trichotillomania, the lashes may shorten.

6. The natural growth cycle of eyelashes differs between individuals; some people’s lashes grow faster than others.

7. Your client may have allergies as a result of wearing false eyelashes too frequently, which can cause the lash to shorten over time.

8. People with oily skin produce more sebum, which can cause eyelashes to shorten faster due to increased friction on the skin while blinking. People who work in dusty environments are more likely to develop eye irritation and decreased ocular lubrication which may result in shorter lashes.

Perfume or other allergen allergies may also contribute to eyelash loss. Excessive tearing, irritation, and inflammation of the eyes can all result in shorter lashes.

9. The frequency with which your client wears false eyelashes affects how quickly they grow shorter due to the stress placed on their lashes during wear, causing them to break off prematurely. For example, if your client typically wears their lashes once every two weeks and begins wearing them every day, the lash length should gradually decrease by about three millimeters per month.

10. Whether or not your client is currently taking prescription medication will influence whether or not their eyelashes grow shorter. Minoxidil for hair loss, for example, may stimulate hair regrowth but does not prevent breakage, so there will still be temporary thinning and possible shedding even after several months of treatment.

11. Microphthalmia, a condition in which one or both eyes are abnormally small or underdeveloped, can occur in newborn babies. The eyeballs of these children enlarge with age and no longer resemble those of a newborn baby.

12. Some clients suffer from cataracts, which are caused by damage to the lens of the eye and can impair vision. Cataracts typically develop slowly because the lens becomes cloudy over time, as opposed to rapidly deteriorating as many forms of glaucoma do. The development is usually bilateral because aging changes occur to both lenses simultaneously, as opposed to unilateral cataracts, which develop much slower and affect only one lens. After all, aging changes occur to one side first.

13. Losing your lashes as a result of chemotherapy is a common side effect. Furthermore, chemotherapy can weaken the immune system, leading to an increase in viral infections, which can lead to lash loss.

14. Retinoids, immunosuppressants, antibiotics, and cytotoxic drugs are examples of medications.

15. Cancer treatments such as radiation therapy and certain chemotherapies can damage eyelash follicles, resulting in permanent eyelash loss and, in rare cases, blindness.

16. Except in rare cases, such as HIV/AIDS or severe acute lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic diseases do not cause hair loss or shortening. Some women, for example, experience hair loss as a result of hormonal changes caused by pregnancy, childbirth, or menopause. This type of hair loss, on the other hand, usually results in complete or near-complete regrowth within a few months. Women may also lose hair as a result of normal hormonal fluctuations during their menstrual cycles.

Thyroid disorders, such as Graves’ disease, Hashimoto’s disease, and hyperthyroidism, can also cause hair loss. This is caused by both overactive and underactive thyroid glands producing incorrect hormones. Hair loss is one of the first symptoms of this disorder, appearing months to years after the onset of symptoms. These are some of the reasons why a client’s eyelashes may be shorter than usual! The good news is that if a client takes care of their lashes and wears the proper makeup, they will not be visible.

It is critical to continue the process of looking good to demonstrate to the client that they have plenty of beauty in their life. A client’s lashes are an important part of their appearance, and it is critical to keep them in good condition. If you notice a problem with your client’s lashes, you should refer them to an ophthalmologist or dermatologist who specializes in eyelashes. Remember that the best way to keep your client’s lashes long and full is for them to continue to love and care for themselves. If they are going through a difficult time, remind them that their eyelashes will grow back and they will feel more beautiful.

Remember to look after your lashes. They say that what’s good for the goose isn’t always good for the gander, but in this case, it’s completely true! Both you and your client will benefit from your health.

Why do eyelashes need a break?

While it may be tempting to blame the eyelash technician for your client’s shorter lashes, there are a few possible causes. First, the natural lash cycle lasts four to six weeks, so if your client has been getting extensions for a while, their lashes may have just finished their cycle and require a break.

Second, if the extensions are applied too close to the lash’s base, they can weaken and break off at that point. Finally, if the glue used is of poor quality, it can cause irritation and inflammation, resulting in lash loss.

So, while seeing your client’s lashes look shorter than they used to be may be upsetting, there is no need to panic. It is critical to reassure them that while their hair may be short now, it will grow back! If you’re concerned about applying for new extensions, have your client apply mascara instead for now. That way, when she wakes up in the morning, she won’t have to worry about her lashes being too short. You can also collaborate with your client to find other ways to achieve fuller-looking eyelashes until her lash cycle resumes. You could, for example, teach her how to apply false eyelashes or suggest she wear contact lenses that will make her eyes appear larger without the need for makeup. Furthermore, offer to postpone any future treatments until their natural lashes begin to grow back! If your client isn’t satisfied with the options listed above, mention that eyelash extensions are designed to last between 4-6 weeks; however, once they reach the end of their cycle, they will require a break.

If your client wants to know what they can do to help speed up the process, one option is to use a peptide-containing eye serum. It contains a proprietary blend of essential amino acids, peptides, proteins, and botanical extracts that aid in the growth of hair. These ingredients promote cellular regeneration, which boosts the production of keratin proteins—the structural building blocks of hair follicles—and thus the growth phase of each hair cycle. The result? Lashes that are thicker and longer than ever! If your client is still dissatisfied, explain that once the lash reaches its natural breaking point, it will begin to grow back.

Also, remind them that extension applications should be spaced out about every three months to allow their lashes to recover from treatment damage. Keep in mind that excessive use of artificial products, such as mascara, can dry out and brittle lashes; however, clients who don’t want to wait for their lashes to grow back can wear falsies in the meantime. go over all of the different types of treatments available (including LashBoost) and offer another option, such as wigs, if they’re still dissatisfied. Don’t forget to emphasize how important it is for clients to wash their hands and face before going to bed to remove oil and makeup. This is especially true for oily skin, as oils can clog pores and worsen lash loss. If your client has been getting eyelash extensions for about 6 weeks, make sure they know it’s important to let them rest and stop getting extensions for a while.

It’s never easy to hear that your client’s lashes are getting shorter, but take a deep breath and remember that the natural lash cycle lasts four to six weeks. If your client is concerned about their short lashes in the morning, consider using false lashes in the meantime!

What is the cause of the client’s eyelashes not growing?

There are a few possible causes for your client’s eyelashes not growing as long as they used to. One possibility is that the hair follicles are damaged. This can occur as a result of over-plucking or the use of harsh chemicals near the eye. Another possibility is that the eyelashes’ natural growth cycle has been disrupted. Changes in hormone levels, age, or stress can all cause this. Finally, a lack of nutrients can result in shorter eyelashes. If your client does not consume enough protein, iron, or biotin, their lashes may suffer.

The following are the best steps to help lengthen and strengthen your client’s eyelashes: When applying mascara, make sure to use proper techniques, such as priming before application and being gentle when removing it. Educate your clients on proper lash care using products such as lash serums and oils, which can both nourish and condition the lashes. Make sure they get plenty of water (eight glasses per day) so that any dehydration damage can be repaired! Also, essential oils like rosemary and lavender have shown positive results in studies for stimulating hair growth.

Include the following nutrition information to reduce the risk of problems caused by a lack of nutrition: Protein is required for muscle growth and the strengthening of blood vessels that support the body. Iron: Required for oxygen transport throughout the body; aids in the formation of red blood cells. Biotin is required for tissue repair, the formation of red blood cells, the formation of skin cells, and the production of energy from the food we eat.

Educate clients on what they can do with their client’s eyelashes once they’ve stopped growing to prolong usage and avoid waste: After applying mascara, use an eyelash curler to add length or volume. Once you’ve finished your first layer, apply a second coat of lash extensions to avoid pulling at previous lashes when you remove them. Avoid piling on multiple layers at once because it stresses the hair follicles, causing them to thin or fall out completely as a result of being overworked! If you add too many layers in one day, increase the amount gradually each time until you reach the desired amount per session! If necessary, you can even apply the final layers during your next visit. Remember to take your time when using these methods, as rushing increases the likelihood of making mistakes. It is also critical to use single strands and to avoid touching the lash roots too much. This can cause irritation, which can lead to infection, and touching the eyes with dirty hands can introduce bacteria to the eyes.

Do clients’ lashes become shorter if they use mascara every day?

Mascara can cause your eyelashes to grow shorter over time. This is because when you apply mascara, you are essentially coating your lashes in the product. This film can accumulate over time, weakening your lashes and making them more prone to breakage. Furthermore, the act of applying and removing mascara can cause lash breakage. If you wear mascara every day, you should take breaks every few weeks to allow your lashes to recover. Otherwise, you may notice that your lashes are shorter than they were previously.

Clients who discontinue wearing mascara frequently report that their lashes grow back fuller and longer after only a few months.

Tips and tricks for extending the life of your lashes

If you get eyelash extensions, there are a few things you can do to keep your lashes healthy and long.

First and foremost, be gentle when removing makeup. To avoid tying up the lashes, use a cotton swab or a soft brush.

Second, avoid using oil-based products near your eyes because they can weaken the bond between the extension and your natural lash. Third, avoid using too much heat or steam, which can also weaken the bond.

Fourth, avoid getting chemical peels too close to your eyes.

Fifth, avoid pulling on the lashes while applying them; otherwise, they may become shorter than they were before.

Sixth, wait three weeks after your last treatment before beginning a new one.

Seventh, use mascara sparingly and avoid applying it directly to the lash line or inside of the eye (this will prevent build-up in between lashes).

Eighth, curl your lashes without pressing them down with a metal or silicone lash curler (this is good for preventing eyelid sagging).
