What should technicians consider when selecting the length of eyelash extensions?

When selecting the length of eyelash extensions, technicians must prioritize the natural lash length and health. This consideration is crucial because using extensions that are too long or heavy for a client's natural lashes can lead to damage, such as breakage or premature shedding of the natural lashes. It is essential for the technician to assess the strength and condition of the natural lashes to ensure that the extensions applied will not cause harm. Maintaining the integrity of natural lashes should always be the top priority to promote the longevity and health of both the extensions and the natural lashes.

While factors like client preferences for dramatic effects, current fashion trends, and available inventory are relevant to the overall service and may influence the final decision, they must be secondary to the assessment of the client's natural lash characteristics. Understanding the client's lash health ensures that the technician can provide a safe and effective application that enhances the client’s appearance without compromising the health of their natural lashes.
