Hygiene and care in eyelash styling

Hygiene and care of the eye area is a key element that both the stylist and the client should take care of. Did you know that one of the most common reasons for poor durability of the application is poor preparation of eyelashes for the treatment or failure to take proper care after the treatment? 

A stylist!  If the problem of increased retention is something that many clients complain about and you wonder how to properly prepare their lashes for the styling treatment - read this article. 

This material is also for you - thanks to it you will find out what are the best home-made ways to care for your extended lashes.

Eyelashes preparation for the treatment

Do you always use your eyelash shampoo before you apply - whether you're making a new set or a complement? If so, bravo! This is a key stage whose neglect can result in many unpleasant effects, affecting both our work and its effects, as well as directly exposing the health of the client's eyes.

Never underestimate it - even if your client was washing her own eyelashes before she came.

Foam lash cleaning shampoo is an essential product in every stylist's chest - it is the proper washing of eyelashes that should be the fundamental, first step in preparing natural eyelashes for the treatment. Although it seems to be an uncomplicated activity, remember about a few nuances:

• Often the eyelashes require double application of shampoo - the first one to loosen the impurities and perform the so-called "pre-wash" and second application to perfectly clean the eyelashes and eyelid edge. Surely use the shampoo a second time when you see that the first time you apply the foam hasn't kept its consistency and has gone from a foam form to a liquid state.
• Always apply the foam to the eyelid, not directly to the eyelashes - this movement will not let the client get scared and tighten the eyelids. Keep your client's eyelids tight - relaxed eyelid muscles are essential for the shampoo not to get into the eyeballs, while giving us perfect access to the eyelash line.
• Rinse the shampoo with warm water only. Cold water may not completely rinse off, leaving a blunt deposit on the eyelashes.
• Remember to even out the pH level with saline after washing the eyelashes.
• Use only professional products designed for this purpose - forget about intimate hygiene fluids, shampoos for children, blowing into a petal soaked in micellar liquid. 

What do you wash extended eyelashes with?

The only preparation that is 100% dedicated to this activity is a professional shampoo for washing eyelashes.

Also make sure that accessories intended for washing are hygienic - for washing customers' eyelashes velour applicators or reusable brushes are fantastic (after each brush use it should be washed and disinfected).

● It is yours, and not the clients' role is to prepare the eyelashes for the treatment. Don't tell your clients to wash their eyelashes themselves - they can't see their eyelids from the perspective that you can see them from, avoiding many stains.

Care of extended eyelashes at home

Do you know how to take care of false eyelashes? Can you wet your eyelashes? Once and for all, let the myth that lashes should not be washed and soaked go away. Eyelashes need to be washed at exactly the same frequency as you wash your face - so if you do this twice a day, don't forget your eyes too! Eyes are an excellent source of microbial growth - they are moist, with relatively high temperature, and have many nooks and crannies... It's a paradise for uninvited guests, such as a teddy bear, which is the cause of a disease called "demodecosis". Remember to use appropriate preparations for this purpose - for example JoLash shampoo for eyebrows and eyelashes. Its perfectly selected composition will not only ensure that your application will be fresh and constantly fluffy until it is completed - it will also prevent unwanted eye and skin diseases from developing around them. Do you happen to paint your eyes and you don't know how to remove makeup with extended lashes? Nothing easier!

The best solution will be a shampoo for cleaning your eyelashes and a special brush, which will perfectly sweep away dirt from even the most difficult places. Remember how unpleasant the consequences of lack of proper eye hygiene can be - its neglect in extreme cases can even lead to deterioration or loss of vision.

Eyelash shampoo - what should you know?

Lashand Brow shampoo produced by JoLash, apart from perfect cleansing, also ensures proper hair moistening, giving the glue a much more stable base, which will create a perfect bond - after all, as it is commonly known, cyanoacrylic adhesives like a magnet attract moisture, which is the foundation of proper polymerization. What is more - the unique formula also guarantees antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effects!

A small product - great power!

The composition of Jolash eyelash shampoo is really impressive. It is a synergistic action of such semi-finished products as:

• Aloe Vera extract - aloe vera has antioxidant and antibacterial, moisturizing and soothing properties. Aloe vera is a humectant, i.e. a moisturizing substance that has the properties of retaining moisture in the hair, and as we know, well moisturized hair is the best substrate for glue.
• Sweet orange peel extract has a soothing effect on the eye area. It is antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, soothing and soothing.
• Rooibos leaf extract - fights free radicals, regenerates and tightens the skin. It has an antibacterial effect. It stimulates hair growth, smoothes and shines and strengthens the bulbs.
• Extract from geranium leaves - helps to restore the natural pH of eyelashes and thus hydrates them. Additionally, it strengthens the structure of hair up to its fiber and supports cell growth - it helps to recycle dead cells and helps to regenerate new ones, so it has a great effect on the eyelash bulbs. It shows antibacterial properties.

Tea Tree Oil - a natural antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and disinfectant that prevents conjunctivitis and nematode development.

Surely the composition leaves no doubt what shampoo for eyelashes is the best on the market!

Where do I buy shampoo for my eyelashes? Which shampoo to choose?

You can buy shampoo for washing extended eyelashes in professional styling shops, e.g. at www.jolash.pl and at distributors.

Ask your stylist about it as well - very often stylists have eyelash washing sets for sale.

There are two types of products on sale:

● Foam eyelash washing shampoo - a ready-made preparation in a foaming bottle

● Eyelash shampoo in sachets - concentrate.

Ready-made shampoo is a perfect solution, as it allows us to save time on choosing perfect proportions.

If you want to know how to make a shampoo for your eyelashes by yourself, you will need two things: a foam-making bottle and a concentrate for washing your eyelashes.

Adjust the amount of the concentrate to the amount of the foam-making bottle you have. One sachet of shampoo (3 ml) is for 100ml of distilled water. For 30ml bottles, fill a 20ml bottle with distilled water and add 1/4 of the contents of the sachet. Do not forget to shake the product before each use, allowing the contents to mix.

Recommendations and care of extended eyelashes - golden rules

1. Wash your eyelashes at least once a day. Never forget to wash your eyelids thoroughly.
2. Rinse the shampoo each time with warm water.
3. Do not use cotton swabs or cotton sticks in the area where synthetic and natural eyelashes are joined - protruding fibres can cover artificial eyelashes.
4. Do not use greasy cosmetics in the eyelid area. They may migrate to the bonding line, destroying the glue bond.
5. Do not paint extended eyelashes! The wax contained in mascara will stick together and fold fluffy tufts.
6. Avoid waterproof cosmetics. Cleaning the eyelid edges without interfering with the durability of artificial eyelashes will be almost impossible.
7. Don't rub your eyelashes with a towel. Dry your eyelashes with a disposable paper towel, draining excess water from them.
8. After washing, arrange your eyelashes with a brush. Remember to take proper care of it too, replacing your lash with a new one on a regular basis, or get yourself a nice brush in a nice case that will protect it from dirt and will delight your eye every day. You'll find a toothbrush like this here.

Congratulations! From now on, eye hygiene will be no problem for you. Please remember how important it is - whether you are a stylist or a customer.
