HI Everyone,
Just looking for some insight really, i trained with Nouveau last year and i use a mix of J curl, C curl & B curls in mixed lengths and thicknesses 0.15, 0.20 & 0.25 but i can't seem to get the thickness right on them they look beautiful and natural but for those clients wanting that extra oompph i need to find away of increasing the thickness. Is there away this can be done or is it a case of the amount of natural lashes you have determines the thickness?
Any help is greatley appriceated

Hello Emily.
IMO, the density/thickness can be achieved in a couple of ways.
1. With thicker natural lashes--- You can apply lashes as thick as .25mm. Only the rare few can wear Extreme length and diameter and have no bearing on the natural lash. You may apply .25mm from 1/4 way out from the inner corner to the outer corner till you have the "shape" you want. Once you "see" the shape forming, you can then fill with .20mm (what I call "filler lashes") in the length a tad shorter than the .25mm (about 1mm-2mm). In this senario, you would apply .15mm in the inner 1/4 corner. The .25mm, (what I call the "anchor" lashes give your shape a definition and a guide to follow.)
2. With thinner, shorter natural lashes--- You can do all of the above but tweek the diameters to first 1/4 of the inner corner .10mm, anchor your shape with .20mm and fill with .15mm.
In all cases you can achieve thicker/denser looking lashes by applying thicker diameter lashes and/or applying as many "filler lashes" as possible. I also want to mention that the thinner diameter will give you more of the "fluffier/whispier" look than the thicker counter part.
In most clients, you should be able to find on an average of 70-90 suitable natural lashes to lash. Anything beyond that would give you a very nicely dense look. And yes, the more lashes your client has, it will help her and you to achieve a fuller look. If by chance you cannot find enough lashes, you may apply a few more of the shorter .25mm in liue of some of the "filler lashes" taking care not to over extend.
If you are having difficulty finding lashes to lash, you may either "flip" the already lashed lashes with your tweezer by placing it length wise under her lashes and simply lifting them upwards. The ones that have not yet been lashed will peep through. You may also tape the already lashed ones ever so lightly to hold them in place while you lash the rest.(As suggested by another fellow lasher here.) Make sure that the lashes to be taped are dried and when you're ready to take the tape off, be very careful not to pull any of them off alon with the tape.
*Caution: DO NOT OVER EXTEND
DO NOT OVER LOAD (over loading can irritate)
Hope this helps some.
