Every lash technician has the same goal – to provide the fullest lash extensions possible for each client. We all crave to provide that “wow” factor whether classic or volume lashing. If your sets aren’t making you swoon check these tips out to make sure you aren’t making any of these common mistakes!

Improper Isolation

New Lash Artists always have one main struggle – and it’s usually about how to wrangle one tiny, itty-bitty natural lash between their tweezer tips to isolate it. We know it seems impossible sometimes but don’t cut corners! You may not think it’s a big deal if an extension gets applied to two natural lashes but its a HUGE deal! First of all, it cuts the potential for fullness in HALF! Think about it! If a client has 100 natural lashes per eye, and you apply the majority of extensions to two natural lashes, your potential goes from 100 extensions per eye to 50! Secondly, you WILL cause lash damage – ouch! Natural lashes aren’t all growing at the same rate. If you adhere multiple natural lashes together with lash adhesive, the natural lash growing slower will be pulled (and stressed) by the lash growing faster. This leads to stress, breakage and thinning of the lash line and breaks the cardinal rule of lash extensions: THOU SHALT NOT CAUSE DAMAGE!

Not Extending Every Lash

A beautiful lash line has a large variety of different lashes mixed within it depending where each natural lash is in it’s growth cycle. Some lashes are just growing in, some are mid-growth and some are full mature lashes. Some lash companies teach to skip the smaller lashes – but that’s because back in the day we only had 0.15 and 0.20 diameters in our lash extension ranges! Now with diameters as thin as 0.05 there is NO reason why we can’t extend each and every natural lash with an extension. Shorter natural lashes get shorter, thinner extensions to keep them happy and healthy, while mature strong natural lashes get extended with length and more thickness. The result is fluffy, texturized lashes that look realistic and full!

Coating Natural Lashes in Adhesive

A little lash adhesive goes a LONG way! Gone are the days of “painting” the entire natural lash in adhesive. Its unnecessary and stressful on the fragile tips of the natural lashes. To secure a lash extension to a natural lash dip 2mm of the extension base into the adhesive and apply securely to the base of the natural lash. The result? Instead of REPLACING thin natural lashes with a thicker extension by coating the entire natural lash into the bond and losing it — we ADD an extension to each natural lash which instantly DOUBLES the fullness in the lash line. The final result is fuller, softer lashes that are healthier, softer, and last longer!

Too much length

Inevitably, the more you extend the natural lashes in length, the more spaced out the tips of the lash extensions will be. By keeping lash extensions only 2-3mm longer than the natural lash, they will look denser and more full opposed to super long sparse lashes. No one wants spider legs on their eyes, lashers! Tone it down for a classier look! And if you’re going to give them more length, add more texture within the lash line for multiple focus points (a method we teach in our upcoming ONLINE classes called Texturization which teaches a formula for perfectly full fluffy texture no matter how long the lash extensions!).

How to Choose Hair Extensions

By GOODYARD HAIR

On 9th March 2016

In Goodyard News, Hair Extensions, Hair Fashions

Step1.

Decide on the desired look while bearing in mind what will best suit your features; if in doubt, ask for an opinion.

Step 2.

Carefully consider your hair texture. For example, avoid wearing curly hair with a straight extension. It is not attractive and does not speak well of the individual as regards attention to detail.

Step 3.

Pay close attention to hair colour. There are different shades of black and some have a faded appearance. So unless you are trying to be dramatic, ensure that the extension matches your hair colour as closely as possible. That includes any colour you decide to wear.

Step 4 .

Length is also important. This is where your comfort-ability comes in. If you are accustomed to short hair and are not sure about wearing long extensions, go with what you are comfortable with; if you want to be adventurous, that is fully encouraged but remember to get something that will suit you and not someone else. After all, what looks good on one will not look good on all. Focus on accentuating your physical features.

Step 5.

Take into account, that the hair extension you choose will be worn for a length of time and should be chosen with occasion suitability in mind.

Top 6 Tips On Maintaining Hair Extensions

By GOODYARD HAIR

On 25th February 2016

In Hair Fashions

If you want tips on maintaining tape in hair extensions you are in the right place. Do you want to have long, gorgeous hair like the women you see re-pinned on Pinterest daily? Are you thinking about getting tape-in hair extensions? Here are some things you should know.

Whether getting extensions to enhance volume or just to have long luscious hair, maintaining your hair is critical to getting full use out of those beautiful new locks.

Rumors will tell you that it is difficult to take care of your hair but if you follow these simple tips on maintaining hair extensions (many of which you are probably doing anyway) you’ll be able to maintain those extensions longer than you expected, and proudly overuse the hash tag #longhairdontcare under your selfies on Instagram until your heart is content!

After you have your extensions installed do not wash your hair forAT LEAST48 hours. Your tape will need time to cure and washing will lessen the hold time. Not showering for 48 hours? Think of all the free time you will have! You can go out and cross an item off your bucket list, or you could nap. Think of how many naps you could take in 48 hours?
DoNOTbrush your hair when wet. This is something that cannot be stressed enough. You also CANNOT wrap your head in a towel or flip your hair upside down and try to dry it with a towel. You need to slowly start at the ends and work your way up. Avoid squeezing and pulling your hair, slowly pat dry and reduce tangles.

It’s tempting to throw your hair up in a towel and be a genie for 10 minutes or flip your hair back and fourth but you really need to take your time after you shower to help your extensions last longer.

Do notEVERapply conditioner directly onto your bonds. This will make the tape lose and your extensions will fall out. This goes for any oils as well!
Make sure your shampoo issilicone free! This is a HUGE must! Silicone will destroy your bond

5. I know most women use some sort of heating tool on their hair every day. You can still continue to do so, just make sure you are not putting the heat directly on your bonds! The heat will loosen the bond.

6.It is very important to brush your extensionstwice a day. This will help from your hair getting tangled or matted. Not bad advice even without extensions really. Also be sure to put your hair in a loose pony-tail or braid before you go to bed every night.

Just because I think you deserve a bonus tip for getting this far! You need to remember that your hair extensions are holding onto your natural hair in some way. Tape, glue or silicone. YouMUSTremember to give our hair a rest every now and then by taking a break from extensions and being sure you do not shower every day. This will help your natural hair rejuvenate by taking back in its oil from your scalp. You will damage your natural hair tremendously if you do not give it a break every now and then.

This may seem like it is a lot of work but if you take it one step at a time it will become just a regular routine for you. Think of all the fun hairstyles you will be able to do with extensions in your hair!

WHAT MAKEUP PRODUCTS BREAK DOWN YOUR ADHESIVE?

By GOODYARD HAIR

On 27th January 2016

In Eyelashes, Hair Fashions

Have you ever had a client come in for a routine lash fill looking like she had individually plucked off all her lashes? This may be typical if your client waits much longer than the recommended time for a fill, which is about every 2-3 weeks, but if your clients are coming in with more than 50% of their lashes missing there is a problem! A tragedy, really.

Not only will your client not be super happy, but you will be doubling your work (if they decide to come back to you)! Why does this happen? We want our clients to be happy and get the most out of their lashes. But how can we help them?

Taking Care of the Adhesive

lash adhesive has a shelf life of 4 weeks once opened or 12 months if the seal has not been opened.

Using the adhesive past this time period is not recommended for several reasons. Borboleta has limited the amount of preservatives and unnecessary chemicals in the adhesive as much as possible. The integrity of the adhesive is naturally maintained up to 4 weeks. After this time frame the adhesive begins to solidify inside the bottle due to the exposure to the air (opening and closing the bottle). This makes the glue more clumpy and produces more water as a byproduct in the adhesive. It becomes an unfavorable consistency and will not work as well to adhere to the natural lash.

If you are using fresh adhesive and proper technique, it is best to talk with your clients about their makeup routine to identify the problem.

Makeups to Avoid

Certain makeups can breakdown the adhesive quicker than others. To understand why, you must know that cyanoacrylate is a polar molecule. Molecules can either be polar or nonpolar. In general, polar molecules are dissolved or broken down by other molecules that are polar. The same is true with nonpolar molecules – nonpolar molecules are dissolved or broken down by other molecules that are nonpolar.

Many makeups contain both polar and nonpolar molecules. Since cyanoacrylate is polar, products that contain more polar molecules should be avoided around your eyes.

Foundations and powders don’t have direct contact with your lashes, so they are generally safe to use no matter what the chemical composition. I will mostly be focusing on eyeliner, eyeshadows, and makeup removers.

Makeup Removers

Many oil-based makeups, including makeup removers contain molecules that have a polar head (or a polar part to the molecule). This polar part will “attack” the cyanoacrylate and weaken the bonds between the lash extension and the natural lash. Makeup removers and oil-based makeups should be avoided at all costs. Even makeup removers that state they are oil-free often times contain polar molecules.

Makeup wipes are also not the best option for the same reason.

Eye makeup should be cleaned using the Borby Lash Bath (1 cup distilled water to 1 Tbsp baby shampoo and the tiniest pinch of baking soda) and your hands. If you are wearing eyeliner, or makeup that requires a little more attention to remove, it is best to use a micro swab or lip disposable gloss applicator. You don’t want to use Q-tips as the fibers will get caught in the lashes.

Eyeliner

Wax-based eyeliners should be avoided. Most eyeliner pencils contain some kind of wax, if that helps you identify wax-based eyeliners. Eyeliners that contain wax help the eyeliner stick to your eyelids and also your lashes. When wax-based eyeliners are removed it becomes a battle of whether or not they will be taking the lashes with them.

The lash trend lately has been leaning for a more natural and full look, so many girls have chosen to avoid eyeliner all together! But if you are still set on using eyeliner the best eyeliners are liquid or gel based. Erin’s favorite lash-friendly liner is Black Track by Mac, it’s a gel liner you apply with an angled brush.

Eyeshadow

Most eyeshadows are safe and easy to use with lashes, because they aren’t immediately touching the lash line. However, to be safe cream and paste shadows should be avoided as they are more likely to dissolve the adhesive and make your lashes fall off.

Final Words of Advice

The best way to preserve the adhesive and get the most out of your lashes is to limit the amount of physical strain your lashes experience. Meaning, the less you tamper with your lashes, besides the recommended washing and brushing, the better condition they will be.

Your lashes are supposed to be fun and an expression of you, so don’t stress too much about your makeup usage.

How to Fix Sad, Droopy Eyelashes

By GOODYARD HAIR

On 19th January 2016

In Eyelashes, Goodyard News, Hair Fashions

If your eyelashes are stubbornly-straight, chances are even after curling and using mascara they stick straight down and look sad. Having beautifully curled lashes make eyes look more awake, most of the time the right trick will help the lashes keep its curl. Here are a few tips to help fix droopy eyelashes

Heated Eyelash Curler

For stubborn, straight lashes that don’t seem to hold a curl- the Heated Lash Curler is the best for long-lasting results. The curler comes in a wand like shape that is much similar to a mascara brush, once the curler is heated use it to wiggle from the base of your lashline to the ends. You will need to hold the wand in place at the base for 5 to 10 seconds before moving upward. If you want thicker, darker, fuller and longer eyelashes, do not forget to apply mascara before using your heated lash curler

Curling Mascara

If you’re blessed with gorgeous long lashes, you probably have a hard time keeping them looking curled all day. The moment you finish curling your eyelashes, apply a thin coat of waterproof mascara and skip out on using volatizing mascara. A curling mascara provides lift immediately after curling and seals in your curl for all day wear. If your longer lashes ends up smearing mascara onto their lower eyelids, a waterproof formula is key. The consistency is lighter and have a drier texture so the lashes freeze in the curl quicker.

Fiber Volume

Goodyard lashes work best to build the look of more volume and thickness while holding a curl. The formula is lightweight with the black sculpting fibers seamlessly build onto your own lashes to achieve naturally voluminous lashes. If you struggle with false eyelashes looking too outrageous and unnatural, lash fibers create a flattering look of fake lashes without the application frustration. Most mascara will weight down the lashes causing them to appear droopy, Goodyard lashes are a better alternative!

HOLIDAY INSPIRED EYELASH EXTENSIONS

By GOODYARD HAIR

On 8th January 2016

In Eyelashes, Goodyard News, Hair Fashions, Hair Technique and Design

The Holiday’s are in full swing and we’re having blast thinking up all different kinds of holiday inspired lashes.

One of the best part of lashes is that they’re customizable. If you want to go and get a full set of red and green lashes, you totally can! If you want a more subtle sparkle for a New Years Eve party,

Heres some of our favorite looks and tips on how to recreate them.

Winter

Winter hues can last past the holly jolly season. Light and sparkly blues, give your eyes a nice ice bitten look.

How to get this look: Apply thin (.15) blue colored lashes to each natural lash to achieve a full look. Once lashes have cured, apply blue shadow with a thick shadow stick, like this one here. It’s very important to wait until the adhesive cures (about 24 hours) to apply the shadow because when you wash off your makeup, you don’t want to effect your lash retention.

How to get this look: This look is a little darker and has more sparkle than the one above. To achieve this look, apply dark blue lashes to each individual natural lash. The thickness and diameter can be determine by client’s preference.

The added sparkle can be achieved by placing glitter lashes on the outer corners. We’d recommend using silver and blue glitter lashes, which can be found here.

Christmas:

How to get this look: This is a very subtle Christmas flair to a natural set of lashes. To achieve this look, apply volume lashes. Leave a few lashes on the outer corners unlashed. When you have finished applying all of the normal volume lashes, apply red lashes to the outer corner. If you wish, you can apply green, glittered or silver lashes to this look!

How to get this look: To achieve this look apply classic lash extensions to each individual natural lash. Leave a few lashes (about 15) unlashed from the center of the eye to the outer corners. Place one glitter lash extension to the remaining natural lashes.

Hair Color Trends for 2015 Have Changed the Way We Think About “Pops” of Color

By GOODYARD HAIR

On 16th December 2015

In Hair Fashions

If your mantra is “new year, new hair color”, you are probably busy searching for new ideas or forecasts for the hottest hair color trends for 2015. Well, you’re in the right place, as we are compiling those new trends for you here. On one hand, there are no major changes when it comes to hair color trends – however, there is a notable shift in the focus of color. At the moment, natural looking tresses with a “pop” of color is what is defining hair color trends for 2015.

If you are planning to book an appointment with your hairdresser for a new hair color, make sure you check out the trends below for these fun possibilities. You can also check out celebrity hair inspirations to find the perfect match for your skin tone or hair type.

Balayage

If you are a hair color aficionado, then this isn’t the first time that you’ve heard of the “balayage” technique. This hair color technique has been combined with “ombre” coloring and is referred to as “blended ombre”. It is a highlighting technique that originated in France. Balayage is characterized by painted highlights that are very close to the natural color of the hair, which produces a more gradual color transition in the strands. This technique can create the perfect sun-kissed effect on your hair!

Ecaille aka Tortoiseshell Hair

Ecaille or tortoiseshell hair is emerging as the top hair color trend for 2015. It has been around for some time, but it has finally decided to take over ombre and step into the center stage. This highlighting technique provides a beautifully contrasted blend of colors with its use of dark and rich caramel tones along with some golden highlights.

Babylights

You might find the name funny or weird, but babylights is a new favorite amongst celebrities and supermodels. In fact, it is the ideal kind of hair color for spring or summer due to the use of light hues and color tones. The reason why it works so well for the warm weather months is because it looks as if the sun lightened it! It is all about subtlety. With babylights, the highlights blend more with your base color as the tiniest bits of hair are sectioned out to be colored. Most of the color that shines through is your natural hair color. A few well placed babylights can also make your hair look healthier and the color more dynamic.

Soft Reds

As hair color trends for 2015 are shifting towards more natural looks, vibrant reds are being upstaged by softer red tones like auburn, or reds with a hint of gold. You can take inspiration on this particular hair color from celebrities like Amy Adams, Isla Fisher, Jessica Chastain and even Kate Middleton.

3 STYLING TIPS YOU NEED TO BE PRACTICING

By GOODYARD HAIR

On 20th November 2015

In Hair Fashions

When it comes to applying eyelash extensions, technique is only half the battle. Being able to artfully shape the eye is what will set you apart as an industry leader. Try applying these 3 tips during your next appointment! The end result will be full, beautiful lashes and a very happy client. And really, what more could you ask for?

1. Taping back the tips of the extensions that have already been placed allows you to see those 2nd and 3rd layer lashes that are harder to see and reach. Try taping back different sections as you go instead of just at the end of the appointment. Doing this not only makes isolating easier but ensures that you’re being extra thorough throughout the entire appointment. When using this method make sure the pad or tape you’re using isn’t too sticky. Also, be careful to only tape back the very tips of the extensions. Taping too far down the lash will pull too hard on the lashes and will force your clients eyes to open, which could result in irritations.

2 Never, I repeat, NEVER, glue the entire extension to the entire natural lash. Natural lashes are wild and point in every which way, when you glue your extension entirely to the natural lash your extensions will then point in every which way. And whats worse is the extensions will then be stiff and lose all flexibility. Nobody wants that. To create a beautifully uniform set, adhere the extensions only 2mm from the base of the natural lash and redirect the tips where you want them. This allows you to style and shape the lashes how you want them. Make the extensions work for you! Not the other way around.

3. While long, thick, beautiful lashes are what we all want and strive for in our sets, there is such a thing as too many lashes. Yes, it’s true! And it’s especially true on those outside corners. If you overload the lash line of the outer corners they’ll appear heavy and they will sag, which in turn will make the eyes appear smaller because they’re being bombarded by bushy, caterpillar looking lashes. No thanks. Always be more concerned about quality over quantity and make sure you’re shaping the lashes and not just putting an extension on just to put it on. Give each extension a purpose. Try putting curlier lashes, like D curl, on the outside corners to help lift the eye and make it appear bigger and brighter.

TOP 5 SHORT MEN’S HAIRSTYLES OF 2016

By GOODYARD HAIR

On 7th November 2015

In Hair Fashions

ANGULAR FRINGE

The angular fringe was an emerging trend among male fashion models in 2014, and it was so widely popular, we are certain it will become a widely popular trend among all men in 2015. This look is achieved with tapered sides, but keeps the top layer long and cut at angle. It looks great on all face shapes, but is best suited for men with a round face.

2. CAESAR HAIRCUT

The Caesar haircut is a popular buzz cut, but for good reason. The short length of the style makes it easy to maintain, and incredibly simple to spike. With a dab of cream or styling gel, the spiked look can be achieved in a matter of seconds, and will stay in place all day, with little to no maintenance required.

3. SIMPLE CASUAL

This simple casual hairstyle is a classic for good reason. Similar to the slicked back look, this can be achieved with a little hair gel or styling cream, and a quick brush through. Keep the hair shorter on the sides and longer on the top for an easy to maintain look.

4. BRUSHED UP

This style is welcomed by the young. Similar to the slicked back look, this can be achieved with a little hair gel or styling cream, and a quick brush through. Keep the hair much shorter on the sides and quite longer on the top and comb the top hair up and casual.

5. SIDE PART POMPADOUR

This side part pompadour will definitely make a comeback. Pompadours have commonly been seen throughout fashion history because they can be done with hair of various lengths – keeping it either long or short on top. Keep the style in place with pomade.

How to Actually Pull Off That Hair-Tucked-into-Your-Sweater Thing

By GOODYARD HAIR

On 7th November 2015

In Hair Fashions

Anyone who follows street style with any regularity is surely familiar with “the hair tuck” by now. You know, that insouciant move where you leave your hair loosely half-tucked into a sweater or sweatshirt as if you couldn’t be bothered to flip it all the way outside the neck hole.

Although it might not seem like there’s much to mastering this style, there are in fact a few key elements and styling tricks that are essential to pulling it off properly. Here are four things to keep in mind before you attempt the tuck.

Make it messy.

One critical aspect of the sweater-tuck is that it shouldn’t look deliberate. “The whole point of this look is for it to seem very relaxed and like you almost mistakenly have your hair tucked inside your sweater or jacket,” says a senior stylist.

Now we’re not saying you can completely abandon styling, but a few strategically placed flyaways are crucial. “Add a few pieces falling out around your face and volume in the back, [and] you are good to go, ” he suggests. Pull baby hairs out around the face in a random manner to draw attention to your tuck. These wispies will also add movement—even if the majority of your hair is hidden.

Add lots of texture.

DeCarlo explains that this look will work on a range of hair types from straight to curly, but retaining texture is important no matter the hairstyle. Second- or third-day hair, which has grittier hold, is actually ideal for this look.

To get that effortless vibe, use a curling iron to enhance texture and movement, advises DeCarlo. Tease select pieces on the crown to give overall fullness and make the hair look less haphazard. Follow your teasing with a dry texture spray and/or dry shampoo to remove any excess oil.

Think of your hair as a scarf.

This is an ideal look for fall not only because it requires that you wear a sweater, but also because you’re likely to need all the added layers you can get. In lieu of reaching for a scarf, think of your hair as a big bundle of warmth. Just be careful to avoid wrapping your hair too tightly around your neck—the faux-beard look isn’t what we’re going for here.

Dress appropriately.

All the tousling in the world won’t make a difference if you’re not wearing the proper clothes for this look. We’re not saying you need to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe—just make sure to throw on a loose sweater, turtleneck, or collared jacket the next time you want to try the hair tuck, says DeCarlo. These garments will make your hair the center focus while anchoring your strands in place.

Funny how much advance planning goes into looking like you didn’t try, right?

Put down those curling irons, ladies! If you want healthy, luscious hair, using a lot of heat is not the way to go. But don’t worry; you can still have beautiful curls. Here are a few ways to curl or wave your hair without frying it with the blow-dryer, curling iron, or wand.

1. Place a stretchy headband around your forehead, hippie style. Take sections of damp hair and wrap them around the headband and secure. Sleep on it and unwrap in the morning. Give your hair a good shake and voila, big, loose waves!

2. For sexy spiral curls, all you need is an arsenal of bobby pins and some time. Get your hair wet, and then create the curls yourself by folding portions of your hair into your scalp and then pinning them down with bobby pins. You can either wait a couple hours for the look to be ready or sleep with a shower cap on to wake up with beautiful curls.

3. Don’t toss that raggedy old t-shirt! Use it to create beautiful curls. Cut the shirt into strips. The thinner the strips are, the tighter the curls will be. Roll damp hair around each strip then tie the ends so they stay in place. Wait for hair to dry and remove the strips. Work in a little anti-frizz serum and you’re good to go.

4. Some people are absolutely obsessed with soft curlers (or your socks) and swear by them as the perfect way to get flawless curls. There are two ways to use them. At night, wrap hair around curlers, secure, and go to bed. When you wake up unravel and marvel at your voluminous hair. Or, in the morning wrap towel-dried hair in big curlers and go along with your normal morning routine. When your hair is dry, blast with cool air and unwraps.
