90. Is the Fall Shed a Real Thing...or Just An Excuse When Lash Artists Have Poor Retention?

For the last 7 or 8 years every September, you'll see posts teaching lash artists about the infamous "fall shed". It's pretty much accepted now that if you're having lash retention issues around the fall it's a normal thing and you just need to inform your clients. Now Tussanee has been doing lashes since 2005 and never noticed in all her years any unusual lash retention in the fall. Even when we had staff and were doing 600-800 women a month we never saw this phenomenon. Now that doesn't mean the fall shed isn't real...it just means we never noticed it. So Tussanee decided to put on her investigator hat and did some deep research looking at medical studies on lash loss and talked to a couple of well-respected doctors on the subject too. One of the doctors, Dr. Warren Stout did his own search oN the fall shed in two well-respected medical databases and shared his results with us. In this episode, Tussanee breaks down what she found and gets a little nerdy. This is the kind of stuff Tussanee loves to geek out over! Hopefully, you will too! If you have been following us for a while, you know we like to challenge the status quo with the goal to either affirm what is being taught by our industry or debunk it. In this episode, we'll give you some good ammo to really think through this issue. Let us know what you think!
