What type of lashes should technicians avoid during application on clients with thin natural lashes?

Choosing the right type of eyelash extensions for clients with thin natural lashes is crucial to ensuring the health and longevity of both the extensions and the natural lashes. Extensions that are mean or very thick can place excessive weight on thin natural lashes, which are already more vulnerable and may not have the strength to support large or heavy extensions. This added stress can lead to premature shedding or even damage to the natural lashes.

In contrast, short and lightweight extensions are typically a suitable choice for clients with thin natural lashes, as they provide a more natural look without placing undue strain on the existing lashes. Colorful or decorative lashes may not negatively impact the natural lashes themselves, but they are not inherently a consideration in terms of weight and stress. Similarly, while synthetic lashes are commonly used in extensions, they can vary widely in thickness and weight; thus, the quality of the lash rather than the material is what matters most.

In summary, avoiding thick extensions is the best practice when dealing with clients who have thin lashes, as it supports their natural lash health and aesthetic goals.
