Curling the lashes involves a number of tedious and awkward steps. First, you must bend your hands into positions they probably aren’t comfortable in to get the tool in place. If you can perform this pretzel bending with your hands, you then have to carefully catch the lashes in the curling tool and slowly stretch them without using excessive force. Curling the lashes strains the follicles and shafts of the eyelash hairs, so make sure not to be too forceful.
Even done properly, the lashes can become brittle after repeated curling. Repeated applications of moisturizers and repair serums must be followed if you intend to keep your lashes on your eyelids, not tumbling off. Truth be told, the process can be a mind-numbing exercise and should only be attempted by those willing to put in the time, effort, and upkeep necessary.
What Leads to Thinning Lashes
Poor Diet — Your lashes are like any other part of your body, requiring vitamins and nutrients to continue growing and repairing themselves. If your diet doesn't include protein, for example, your muscles could begin to degrade. Your hair and lashes also need protein. They need many nutrients which are up to you to supply through your diet.Age — As we age, hair stops growing back as thick and lush as easily as it used to. The word “easily” is used because strict regiments of nutrient-rich serums or other treatments can help to combat some of the age-related thinning in lashes.
Cosmetics — Many a woman has stated "beauty is pain" in the process of teasing, tweezing, and bending her body to her will. Unfortunately, repeated use of cosmetic products can take its toll on your lashes. Mascara, makeup remover, and other beauty products can be rough on eyelashes, causing them to fall out. Too much of a quick fix can be a bad thing.
Cheap mascara is an example of the danger in a quick fix. The adhesive used to clump lashes together to make them appear fuller can pull the lashes off the skin. The cheaper the product, the less likely it is to contain any moisturizing agents or anything to help protect the lashes. Repeatedly using these products gives your lashes little chance for survival, much less improvement.
