Preparing your lashes for the changing seasons

Protection:
The biological purpose of hair is to protect us from the sun but we sometimes forget we need to keep our hair protected as well, during the fall months hair sheds much faster than normal and in bigger groups. Sun provides vitamin D and vitamin D is essential to hair growth but during the winter moths vitamin D is not always easily found, meaning our bodies are not absorbing as much as usual and hair loss during this time is imminent.

Vitamin D:
Lack of vitamin D will cause slower lash growth as our bodies are working extra hard to grow hair because the vitamin D is being shared in the body to fight off colds and other common illnesses during this time. Don’t forget to consult a doctor before adding any extra supplements into your diet routine.

Prevention:
Lash shedding season only lasts about 3 weeks! Try taking vitamin D vitamins from your local pharmacy and don’t book longer than 2-3 weeks for your lash fills during the season. You can also use Intelliseal to help protect the bonds and strengthen your natural lashes, or if you would like to take a “lash break” during this time try out Eyenvy to help your lashes grow longer than ever!

What Happens When You Don’t Clean your Lash Extensions?

By | Eyelash Extensions, Lash Care, Prép Beauty Parlour


Have you ever developed what looks like an allergic reaction to your lashes but you’ve been getting them for years? Well… You may have developed Blepharitis!

Blepharitis commonly occurs when the tiny oil glands of the inner eyelid become inflamed, Symptoms include red, itchy eyelids that may look greasy and crusted. If you do end up seeing a doctor he/she will probably tell you that you have an infection.. Well he wouldn’t be wrong, improper cleaning of your lash extensions can have very negative side effects which may include not being able to have lash extensions for quite some time.

Unfortunately, there are some negative connotations surrounding eyelash extensions. Some people believe that getting eyelash extensions can damage natural eyelashes and the actual eye. It is critical to only visit a professional eyelash extension master who is educated and trained in correct application.

How do I avoid this happening? Build up of makeup, dry skin and sweat can cause blepharitis. We suggest you clean and cleanse your lashes with Facenvy to prevent blepharitis, you can purchase this item at Prép Beauty Parlour at anytime during business hours. You can also call to book an appointment to have it checked out with one of our master lash technicians!
