Study Notes
History of Lashes
- First false eyelashes were created in 1916 for actress Seena Owen in the film "Intolerance"
- Maybelline Laboratories created the first cake mascara in 1917

- Artificial lashes became a fashion trend in the 1960s thanks to Twiggy and Brigitte Bardot
- The eyelash extension craze started in Korea in 2003 and spread to America a few years later
Natural Lash Growth
- Eyelashes protect the eye from foreign objects
- The upper lid typically has 90 to 150 lashes, while the lower lid has 70 to 80
- Eyelashes are constantly moving through a natural growth cycle: anagen (growth), catagen (transition), and telogen (resting)
- The anagen phase lasts between 30 and 45 days
- The catagen phase lasts between two and three weeks
- The telogen phase lasts over 100 days
- Each eyelash sheds every 60-90 days on average
Lash Types
- Eyelashes come in different lengths, diameters, and curl sizes
- Popular types include:
- Loose Lash
- Tray Lash
- Synthetic Mink
- Synthetic Silk
- Real Mink
- Specialty (Rhinestone, glitter, two-tone)
- Most synthetic lashes are made from PBT, a thermoplastic polymer
Adhesive
- Cyanoacrylates are the most common adhesive used for lash extensions.
- They form a strong bond, and moisture plays a crucial role in curing the adhesive
- Always apply adhesive thinly to ensure a strong bond.
- Formaldehyde is found in many everyday products, including lash adhesive
- It is a colorless gas that can cause a burning sensation at high concentrations
- Apply a sealant to the lashes after application to begin the curing process.
- Wait 24 hours before getting wet for the adhesive to fully cure
Safety and Sanitation
- Never apply extensions if the client shows any signs of infection such as:
- Oozing or crusted eyes
- Redness of the eye or eyelids
- Itching or watering eyes
- Swelling of the eyelids
- Wash your hands before every lash extension service.
- Cleanse the client's eyes with an oil-free makeup remover before starting each service.
- Always dispose of lashes from your tray after use, unless you are keeping them for the same client.
- Clean your stainless steel tweezers with pure acetone and disinfect them by immersing in a barbicide solution for 10 minutes.
- Store your implements in a clean, closed container.
- Follow all manufacturer’s instructions for your lash products.
- Be cautious when applying lashes, take your time, and ensure both you and your client are comfortable.
