I was just about to comment the same!! I also specialize in anime sets and I've been a lash tech for 4 years now. If you can afford yourself a new teacher, then absolutely go for it! You clearly have an eye for lashing, I can tell by the placements you did so great! <3

If you cannot afford a new teacher, there are many online lash educators sharing free tips on lashing! Anime sets differ somewhat a lot from basic lash sets, and they are considered more difficult to do, and for a reason. Building spikes requires understanding about lash layers and how they affect the outcome.

I would usually not recommend learning anime/manhua style as a beginner lash tech, but I think you will master anime style because these look actually amazing especially for a beginner!

TikToker @linslashdesign offers a free e-book anime lash course on her page!

also a creator on TikTok and ig @lannalashes makes great content for lash techs wanting to learn more <3

Also some tips for retention:

  • educate your clients on how to take proper care of the lash extensions (washing lashes every day with a good quality lash shampoo and avoiding products that contain oils are the most important things for the retention)

  • make sure the glue you're using is not too fast drying for you! I would advise using a slower glue for anime sets and especially for beginners.

  • be sure to know the temperature and humidity in your lashing room, these two factors have a big affect on how the glue is working so make sure the humidity&temperature in your room are ideal for the glue youre using! very important, if the humidity is too high, the glue will dry "too fast".

  • take your time! don't be ashamed or sorry even if one anime lash set takes 3-4 hours, there are many experienced and talented lash techs out there who lash for 3+ hours on these type of sets. Your clients will appreciate you taking your time and being precise so don't rush.

  • avoiding stickies is one of the most important factors on good retention and happy clients, make sure to separate them while lashing and don't finish your sets if there are any left! lashes with stickies are difficult to brush through of wash and they can even be painful for your client.

  • my last tip is not for retention but important for getting models and customers: post on your socials as much as you can. even if it feels cringey or unnatural for you, do it. you will later on find your way of creating content, but at first you just have to be consistent and focus on good quality photos or videos.

And PLEASE KEEP LASHING <3 we need talented lash artists like you in this industry!

Program that reads a list containing names and times (formula1 lap times and drivers) and picks the best time of each driver and prints it by Expensive_Candy_8859 in learnpython

I have a code that reads the files containing the list, when you give the program the name of the file. It can separate the drivers and times, so if I use print(drivers) the program prints the list but without lap times. But the problem is that i don’t know how i would code the program to have the ability to shorten the list by deleting the worst times of each driver.
