Lash Retention 101: Supplements
·
·
Many medications and supplements can alter lash retention through changes in body chemistry. Thyroid medications, for example, can change the environment of the lash area, making natural lashes oilier, dryer or more brittle. Please be aware that if you are taking these medications, your lashes may respond differently to the extensions.
Hair, Skin and Nails vitamins or other supplements that encourage or stimulate hair growth, cause your lash cycle to speed up and therefore shed more often also. You may have thicker and longer lashes but may need to get fills more often. Pregnancy and menopause can change the lash environment as well.
Never stop taking prescribed medication just because of your lash extensions (or suggest a client do so), however, asking about medications or supplements during your consultation and each infill can help you and your client understand their individual dynamics.
