Lash Extension Certification Practice Test 1

Question 1

Which curl type is most commonly requested for a classic, natural-glam lash look?

Accepted Answer

C curl

Answer

The C curl provides a noticeable, eye-opening curl that reads as natural-glam and is the most commonly requested curl overall.

Question 2

What is the main reason lash extensions eventually shed even with perfect application?

Accepted Answer

The natural lash it's bonded to completes its growth cycle and sheds

Answer

Natural lashes cycle through growth, transition, and resting phases and shed naturally roughly every 100 days; the extension sheds along with the natural lash it's bonded to.

Question 3

As a general safety guideline, how much longer than the natural lash should an extension be?

Accepted Answer

No more than about 2mm longer

Answer

A widely taught rule of thumb is no more than about 2mm longer than the natural lash, to avoid overloading and damaging it.

Question 4

What defines a 'volume' lash set as opposed to a classic set?

Accepted Answer

Applying multiple lightweight extensions fanned onto one isolated natural lash

Answer

Volume sets apply multiple ultra-fine extensions fanned onto a single isolated natural lash, rather than one extension per lash.

Question 5

What is lash adhesive chemically based on?

Accepted Answer

Cyanoacrylate

Answer

Professional lash adhesive is a cyanoacrylate-based formula that cures through a reaction with moisture in the air.
