How To Care for Eyelashes
If the eyes are the windows to the soul, your lashes are the curtains that control everything coming in and going out. Even though they're the smallest part of your facial hair, they are one of the most important because lashes frame one of our most prevalent facial features: your eyes. Let our team of beauty experts at Lux Hair Bar help you create luscious lashes by giving you a better understanding of this unique facial feature and answering some common questions about style and maintenance.
Can You Use Beard Dye on Eyelashes?
You should never use your beard or hair dye on your eyelashes or eyebrows. The risk of the product getting into your eye and causing damage is significant. Always have your brows and lashes tinted by a professional in a
salon to ensure the procedure is safe and the outcome is stylistically precisely what you're looking for.
What Can Cause Eyelashes to Break?
Eyelashes can break for many reasons, resulting from internal and external forces. Some common internal factors that can cause eyelashes to break include hormonal imbalances, vitamin deficiency, inflammation or infection, certain autoimmune diseases, lack of sleep, and some prescribed medications. External factors that might affect eyelash strength and lead to breakage include not properly cleaning off makeup every day, harsh facial cleaners, or physically rubbing eyes too roughly.
What's A Good Lash Care Routine?
We like to follow an easy, 3-step process for eyelash care:
- Brush Daily: Like any hair, daily brushing can help your lashes look their best by removing debris and strengthening the follicles. Use a lash comb and brush twice daily for your morning and evening beauty routine.
- Clean with Care: The eye is a sensitive area of the face, and cleaning must be thorough but gentle. Remove all eye makeup with a cleanser designed for this body area before sleeping every night, and never rub aggressively. Instead, think soft and steady when cleaning your lashes.
- Practice Good Eye Care: It's hard for your lashes to look their best when backdropped by tired, puffy eyes. Take care of your entire eye area to showcase your look best. We like Tulasara™ brightening sleeping eye masque from Aveda for healing overnight hydration and botanical kinetics™ energizing eye creme daily to tackle dark, undereye circles.
What's Popular for Eyelash Style This Spring?
We always love adding soft pops of color for springtime makeup. Inspired by the budding spring flowers, we love adding a top color coat to mascara on the outer lashes for a subtle and playful use of springtime color. Purples and pinks pay homage to the more traditional color palette for the season. Reds have a fiery style in recognition of the warming spring weather and those spectacular Kentucky spring sunsets.
