Summer Lashes: Taking Care in Hot Weather

Eyelash Extensions

Posted by Jennifer Ngo at May 15th, 2024

As summer arrives, so does the challenge of maintaining your lash extensions in the face of heat and humidity. Understanding how these elements affect lash extensions and making the necessary adjustments can help ensure your lashes look fabulous all season long! Increased heat and humidity during the summer can significantly influence the longevity and appearance of your lash extensions. Here are some critical factors to consider:

Summer Lashes: Curing Time and Adhesive Selection

One of the most crucial considerations for lash artists during summer is the selection of adhesives and managing curing time. High humidity levels can speed up the curing process of lash adhesives, so lash artists must choose the right adhesive that performs well in humid conditions. A slower-drying adhesive can help ensure a strong, lasting bond between the natural lash and the extension, even in high humidity. Summer weather can also accelerate the growth rate of your lashes and hair, meaning that infills might be needed 4-5 days sooner than in winter. Faster growth can cause extensions to appear more uneven or outgrown quickly, necessitating more frequent touch-ups to maintain a polished look.

Essential Aftercare Tips for Summer Lashes

Proper aftercare is crucial to prolonging the life of your lash extensions, especially during the hotter months. Here are some vital tips: It is paramount to keep oils away from your lash extensions. Oils can break down the adhesive, causing the extensions to fall out prematurely. Be cautious with face creams and sunscreens, ensuring they are oil-free to prevent them from interfering with the adhesive bond. Regular cleaning of your lashes is essential to remove natural oils and any accumulated dirt or makeup. An oil-free cleanser specifically designed for lash extensions, like a foaming cleanser, can help maintain the health and appearance of your lashes. Gently clean your lashes with a soft brush to avoid damaging them.

Best Practices Immediately After Application of Summer Lashes

To ensure the best results and longevity of your lash extensions, it's recommended that you keep them dry for the first 24 hours after application. Avoid exposure to extreme heat, sweat, and steam during this period. This helps the adhesive set properly and prevents any premature weakening of the bond. Given the faster growth rate of lashes in summer, opting for slightly shorter extensions during this season may be beneficial. Shorter extensions are less likely to appear messy as they grow out and can help maintain a neater look for longer. Additionally, scheduling infills more frequently can help manage the faster growth and ensure your lashes look their best.
