Im showing these photos so that you all know what the difference looks like. However it is important to recognise the symptoms before coming to a conclusion..... GLUE ALLERGY    -RED eyelid and bloodshot eyes -Reaction occurs within 48 hours -Very rare occurance 1 in 200 -SEVERE swelling on upper lid (and sometimes lower lid) BLEPHARITIS    -Blocked Follicle infection due to POOR hygiene -ITCHY BETWEEN LASHES -Little bumps located at the base of the natural lashes with an whitish line spreading accross the lashline -MORE PINK (than red) with Slight swelling at the lash line -Sometimes: Dead skin cells or debris located between the lashes -Blood supply/capillary network visible along the lashline |

Hi there. Thank you for posting the pictures you did. It really helps! How is Blepharitis remedied? & if a client has had or currently has issues like blepharitis, does that make them not a good candidate for lashes?

Blepharitis is a follicle infection that needs antibiotic ointment. The area needs to a scrubbed with warm/hot water and baby shampoo, followed by the ointment. Needs to be done TWICE a day for TWO weeks. Therefore, it is essential that the lash extensions are removed, so that the client can get 'in there' and scub away the crusts/blockages. Contaminated makeup needs to be thrown out also. Keep in mind that Bleph, is not isolated to only people that wear extensions. It is very common in the community and people don't even know they have it. Unfortunately Clients that wear extensions are more likely to develop Bleph....because they fear damaging their lashes by washing/wetting them.  In fact...the extensions stay on longer due oil levels on the skin being reduced with washing If a client has a VERY MILD form of bleph (a few slightly raised red bumps), I would consider doing them - under the terms that they wash their eyes with a soapy cleanser (baby shampoo is ideal) at least 3-4 times a week. |

Hi tami! Thanks for these pics unfortunately I believe one of our clients have had an allergic reaction we have checked her eyes and she is very well aware of washing her lashes clean, trouble is it's as if she had a reaction all of a sudden, she's been getting them for a while now and all of a sudden she gets a reaction within 24hrs the last two times, does this ,mean she won't be able to have them again? Will the sensitive glue really be better or will she likely have a reaction again?
