How many times should you comb through the lashes to check for separation and stickies?

The guideline for combing through the lashes indicates that four times is the optimal number for checking separation and ensuring there are no stickies. Combing the lashes multiple times helps to ensure that any lashes that may have adhered together are separated properly. This meticulousness is crucial for achieving a natural look and for the longevity of the eyelash extensions.

During the application process, it’s imperative to periodically check the lashes to confirm that they are applying correctly and that there are no clumps or stickies that could compromise the overall effect and comfort for the client. By combing through the lashes four times, the stylist can effectively assess and correct any issues, promoting a well-finished look. This frequency strikes a balance that allows for thorough checking without excessive disturbance to the extensions that could occur with more combing.

Achieving client satisfaction and optimal lash retention relies heavily on these small but important checks during the application process.
