Hey there, beauty babes! Let’s dive into a topic that’s been fluttering around like a pair of falsies caught in a strong breeze, is the lash industry on its last leg?
If you’ve scrolled through TikTok recently, you might have stumbled upon a few alarming claims suggesting that the lash industry is taking its final bow. But fear not, my fellow lash lovers, because we’re here to unravel this myth and show you why those lashies are here to stay!
First off, let’s address the elephant in the room – those TikTok videos predicting the demise of our beloved lash industry. Sure, they might grab your attention with dramatic thumbnails and ominous music, but let’s not forget that TikTok thrives on trends and viral content. While it’s great for entertainment and a quick laugh, it’s not always the most reliable source for industry analysis.
Now, let’s talk turkey (or should I say, lashes?). One of the reasons some might think the lash industry is on the decline is because of the rise of minimalism. With the ‘less is more’ trend gaining traction, some assume that intricate lash extensions and dramatic falsies are falling out of favor. But hold your lash glue, folks! Just because some people are embracing a more natural look doesn’t mean they’re saying goodbye to lashes altogether. In fact, many beauty enthusiasts are turning to more subtle lash enhancements like lash lifts and tinting to achieve that effortlessly chic look. While mega volume style trends may have taken a backseat we are still seeing the rise of different more subtle types of lash extensions like classic sets and wispy sets.
Another point of contention is the DIY lash trend. With tutorials popping up left, right and centre it’s easier than ever to try your hand at applying lashes in the comfort of your own home. While this might sound like bad news for lash technicians, it’s actually quite the opposite. DIY enthusiasts often realize that achieving that perfect flutter requires skill and precision – something that professional lash artists excel at. Plus, nothing beats the pampering experience of getting your lashes done by a pro while lounging in a comfy chair with relaxing music playing in the background. If anything DIY lashes may be having their moment now but in time it will actually convert more people over to the ease and love of having lashes on all the time pointing them towards professional lash extensions.
Let’s not forget about the power of social media. Platforms like Instagram and TikTok have become virtual runways for showcasing stunning lash transformations. From before-and-after shots to mesmerizing application videos, social media has become a driving force behind the continued popularity of the lash industry. With influencers and celebrities alike flaunting their fabulous lashes to millions of followers, it’s safe to say that the demand for looking effortlessly put together isn’t going anywhere.
Now all this is great but lets get down to the cold hard facts ladies and gentlemen. If you have a look at how much the lash industry has been valued at over the past ten years it has rapdily increased and sites such as Global Market Insights and Fortune Business Insights continue to predict it to increase throughout this year and beyond! Take a breath all you lash techs out there
So, there you have it – the lash industry is alive and thriving, despite what those TikTok doomsayers might have you believe. From classic extensions to trendy lash lifts, there’s something for everyone in the world of lashes. So next time you’re feeling skeptical, just bat those beautiful lashes and remember: the lash industry isn’t going anywhere but up! Trends might change but lashes are here to stay.
Stay fabulous, lash lovers
