Do your clients have lashes too short to apply lash extensions? 

Don’t worry, we can fix that!

In this blog post, LavisLash will show you how to put lash extensions on short lashes, and we’ll share some tips and tricks for awesome results.

The best lashes for extensions are usually strong, long, thick, and a bit curly. But it’s not common to find natural lashes that are exactly like that. Applying eyelash extensions on a set of naturally short lashes can be quite challenging and, in many cases, the client’s lashes are so short that they may not be a good candidate for extensions.

However, as lash techs, we believe that y’all enjoy challenges.

Common Problems with Short Lashes

• Delicate Short Lashes: Short lashes are naturally fragile and can easily get damaged. They can’t hold heavy or long lash extensions.
• Rigid Short, Straight Lashes: Short, straight lashes don’t bend easily and can break more easily compared to naturally curved lashes. Trying to make them curl can harm them. It’s important to pick lash extensions that match the client’s natural lash shape.
• Lash Damage from Self-Application: Clients with short lashes may have tried to put on lash extensions themselves or used lash tools without being careful. This can lead to serious lash damage, so it’s important to focus on lash health.

Guide for Applying Lash Extensions on Short Lashes

Check Lash Health and Promote Good Care

Before applying lash extensions to shorter natural lashes, ensure that the lashes are in good health. Certain lash extension styles, like volume fans, can strain short lashes when applied incorrectly, potentially causing damage. Educate clients on the significance of proper care for short lashes and recommend the following practices:

• Remove mascara before sleeping.
• Utilize a high-quality eye makeup remover.
• Minimize the use of eyelash curlers.
• Discourage eye rubbing and encourage gentle lash handling.
• Suggest incorporating a lash serum into their daily routine.

Choose the Right Lash Extensions for Short Lashes

When working with short natural lashes, choose the right lash extensions that match the lashes’ abilities. Using extensions that are too heavy or long can harm the lashes, undoing any progress in lash health.

Sometimes, we have older clients with slightly weaker natural lashes. Of course we can help them leave with extensions that look natural and are lighter. If your client is older, it’s a good idea to start with a set of about 50-55 lashes. This will make their eyes look nice without harming their natural lashes.

For clients with short natural lashes, LavisLash suggest our L-Curl Ultra-speed Promade Fans which is made for short, straight, or downward-pointing lashes.

Give your clients a treat with our super-soft, top-quality Korean PBT lash extensions. Lavis Promade Ultra-Speed Fans are soft, dark, and fluffy, with tiny bases for easy application, ensuring clients enjoy lasting results for up to 6 weeks.

We use only a little glue and a heat bonding technique to stick the lashes together. And don’t worry, our products are 100% cruelty-free. Your clients will love the luxurious feel and long-lasting beauty of these lashes.

Go with the Natural Lash Features

Work with the client’s natural lash characteristics instead of trying to change them.

If you run into problems during the application, be open to changing your approach. If you see that the client’s lashes have special needs, consider using a different type of lash extension.

If the client’s lashes are too damaged for extensions, focus on healing them and wait until they are healthy again.

 

Last Thoughts!
