WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SILK, MINK, SYNTHETIC AND REAL MINK LASHES?
When it comes to Silk, Faux Mink (usually just referred to as mink) and Synthetic lashes they're all just different names for the same thing. These lashes are all man made, using synthetic fibres.
While the materials are the same, the quality and finish of these lashes can vary. Some may have a glossy sheen to them, while others may have a more matte finish. The glossier lashes will often be branded as 'silks' while lashes with a matte finish tend to be branded as 'minks'. There's currently a lot of inconsistency in the industry however, so this isn't always the case. All that really matters is that you like the look and feel of the lashes you choose. Here at My Lash Store we brand our range as 'silks' due to the finish being on the glossier side.
Real Mink lashes refer to hairs that are actually farmed from live minks. While many people will claim that the Minks aren't harmed during this process, there's a lot of debate over whether or not this is true. For this reason My Lash Store chooses not to stock Real Mink lashes.
WHICH CURL SHOULD I SELECT?
Curl |
|
| J Curl |
A slight curve most closely resembling a natural lash. Great for new technicians learning to apply lashes. |
| B Curl |
Straight base with a soft curl. A very popular choice for that enhanced, yet natural look. |
| C Curl |
Our most popular lash featuring a defined curl and a stronger lift that opens and highlights the eyes. |
| D Curl |
Most accentuated curl for a glamorous look. Great for special occasions. |
WHICH THICKNESS SHOULD I SELECT?
| Thickness | |
| .07 & .10 |
These ultra light-weight lashes are ideal for but also for clients who’s lashes may not be strong enough to hold heavier extensions without weakening the natural lash. Also perfect for clients who's lashes are going through a natural re-growth stage and require something lighter. You can view our .07 and .10 thickness lashes here |
| .15 | Great for clients who have issues retaining their lashes when using .20 or .25 weight, or for clients who’s natural lashes are going through a regrowth stage and temporarily require a lash that will cause less stress. |
| .20 | The most popular thickness of lash. Provides a full, dramatic look without appearing too unnatural. It’s important to ensure these aren’t being applied to a client with weaker natural lashes as they may have poor retention. |
| .25 |
For clients who want a dramatic, glamourous look. Again, it’s very important to ensure these aren’t applied to a client who’s natural lashes aren’t strong enough to support them. |
WHAT IS RUSSIAN VOLUME?
Russian Volume is the latest and most advanced technique in the eyelash extension industry. It involves creating fans from between 2 and 7 lightweight individual lashes (Referred to as 2D 3D 4D 5D 6D or 7D) and applying them to the natural lash. Applying lashes in this way reduces the amount of adhesive involved and gives a fuller, longer lasting look without causing as much damage as classic lashes. The technique is quite complicated to master so training is recommended.
We stock a range of .07 & .10 thickness individual lashes suitable for Russian volume technique here. If you're not yet trained in Russian volume but would still like to achieve that extra volume look then check out our Pre Made Volume Fans.
WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO REMOVE PRE-MADE FANS FROM THE TRAY?
1. Always remove lashes with the tweezers approaching from the side, never from directly above2. Pluck the lash from just above the adhesive strip and directly below where the individual lashes join together
3. If removing the lashes is difficult apply some gentle heat to the tray or strip. A lamp or sunlight is ideal.
HOW SHOULD I STORE LASH ADHESIVES?
Store your adhesives upright in a cool dark place, away from any direct sunlight and away from primers which can dry out the adhesives if nearby. Also storing in an airtight container along with a silica pack is ideal, however not a necessity.
Our adhesives can be stored in a freezer or fridge to extend shelf life before opening. Storing the glue in the freezer or fridge once opened will damage the glue and reduce the bond. Please allow ample time for the glue to get to room temperature once removing from the fridge.
