When they are functioning properly, eyelashes tweezers can be our best friend; however, when they are not, they can be our biggest nightmare; therefore, we need lash extension tweezers! When applying eyelash extensions, one of the most important skills you’ll need is to know how to handle the eyelashes tweezer and the volume tweezer correctly. In this post, we’ll show you how to do just that. You’ll soon be able to handle your lash tweezers correctly and fall in love with what they can accomplish for you in the lash room with only a little bit of practice.
How do you Hold Eyelashes Tweezers
You would need two pairs of tweezers for each individual application if you want to be a competent lash technician. The hand that is not used for one’s dominant activity is the one that holds the isolation tweezer. Isolation tweezers are held in the left hand, thus if you are right-handed, you will do it with your left hand. However, if you are a left-handed person like me, you should hold the isolation tweezer in your right hand.
All of the detailed labor (especially when dealing with volumes!) will be done by the hand that is dominant in the situation. Your dominant hand will be utilized to grasp the volume lash tweezer or the straight tweezer that will be picking up lashes, producing fans, dipping them in glue, and putting them to your eyelids. Wow, for the one hand, that’s a lot of stuff! Because of this, it is quite vital to make sure that we are gripping the eyelash tweezer in the correct manner.
How do you Hold your Hand while Lashing
Utilizing your thumb and ring finger on your dominant hand, firmly squeeze the tweezers together to close them. If you hold the lash tweezers closer to the bottom, you will have more strength and precision when working with them. The support is provided by the index finger, which is positioned higher up on the tweezer. For optimal assistance, three fingers should be brought into contact with the eyelash extension tweezer at the same time. If you hold the lash tweezer higher up on your hand and don’t use your ring finger, you won’t have as much control over it. This may result in the extension falling out of the tweezers’ grip, the fan falling apart, or the lashes twisting in a sideways direction.
By squeezing the tweezers toward the thumb with the ring finger, you can relieve a lot of tension that would otherwise be placed on the little muscles in the vicinity of the hand and wrist. The first thing that comes to mind when we pick up an eyelash tweezer is to hold it in our hand like a pen. However, this does not provide very good control of the tweezer and may cause needless strain on the hand, which may, in the long run, lead to carpal tunnel syndrome.
How do you Use Eyelashes Tweezers to Separate your Lashes?
To begin, it is recommended that you do not separate your own natural lashes but instead provide this task to a trained professional. During the installation of your eyelash extensions, you must ensure that your eyes are totally shut the entire time.
For those who work professionally with eyelashes, the isolation tweezer should be handled in a hand that is not the dominant one. It is recommended that the isolation tweezers remain open when they are not being used. During the lashing process, you will use the hand that is not your dominant one to open and close the isolation tweezers.
When isolating a natural lash, it is often helpful to use both sets of lash tweezers simultaneously. You will need to work your way through the lashes until you discover the ideal one that you want to get all to yourself. Utilize the volume tweezer or the second tweezer (the one that is in your dominant hand) to assist you in moving any adjacent lashes out of the way. Now, you need to close the isolation tweezer just a little bit so that you can get it around that one natural lash. You can gradually let go of the grip to make the isolation tweezer more open, while at the same time preventing the lashes that are adjacent to it from moving.
Which Tweezers are the Most Effective for Adding Volume to Eyelashes and for isolating Individual Lashes?
Both the eyelashes tweezer and the volume tweezer are currently at the top of my list when it comes to the eyelash extension tweezers that I use. It’s all about personal preference when it comes to lash tweezers, but I really like how these tweezers are manually tested. Because the Toronto isolation tweezer has a very tiny curve, I find that it is quite simple to open and close it and that it is also very lovely and lightweight. My favorite tweezer for precision and pick-up when working with volume fans is the volume tweezer because it has such a fine tip.
