  • Eyelash extension packaging should indicate the thickness of the extensions. Use this as a measurement on the customer’s eyes to determine the thickness of the natural lashes.
  • Check the condition of the customer’s natural lashes. Healthier and thicker natural lashes can usually handle extensions that are thicker and heavier.
