The Science Behind Lash Growth: How Lash Serums and Extensions Work Together
Every beauty enthusiast knows the transformative power of long, luscious lashes. While lash extensions can provide an instant volume boost, understanding the science behind lash growth and incorporating lash serums into your routine can lead to healthier, stronger lashes. In this blog post, we'll delve into how lash serums and extensions work together to enhance your lashes' overall health and beauty.
Understanding Lash Growth
To appreciate the benefits of lash serums and extensions, it's essential to understand the basics of lash growth. Eyelashes grow in three phases:
Anagen (Growth Phase):
This is the active growth phase, lasting 30-45 days. The length and thickness of your lashes are determined during this phase.
Catagen (Transition Phase):
In this phase, the growth stops, and the follicle shrinks. This phase lasts 2-3 weeks.
Telogen (Resting Phase):
This is the final phase, where the lash falls out, and a new one begins to grow. This phase can last up to 100 days.
The Role of Lash Serums Lash serums
Lash serums are formulated with active ingredients that nourish the hair follicles, promoting stronger and longer lashes. Key ingredients often found in lash serums include:
Biotin: Strengthens lashes and promotes growth.
Peptides: Support lash structure and resilience.
Amino Acids: Provide essential nutrients for lash health.
By applying a lash serum consistently, you can enhance the growth phase of your lashes, leading to fuller, longer, and healthier lashes over time.
Combining Lash Serums and Extensions
Using lash serums alongside lash extensions can provide the best of both worlds: immediate volume and long-term lash health. Here are some benefits and best practices for combining these treatments:
Enhanced Growth and Strength:
Lash serums can strengthen your natural lashes, making them more resilient to the weight of extensions and reducing the risk of breakage.
Longer Retention:
Healthy natural lashes are better able to support extensions, potentially increasing the retention period between refills.
Application Tips:
Apply the lash serum to your natural lashes once daily, preferably at night. Be sure to follow the product instructions and avoid applying the serum directly to the extensions, apply to the lid.
Consult Your Technician:
Before starting a lash serum, consult with your lash technician to ensure the serum is compatible with your extensions and won't interfere with the adhesive.
