How do eyelash extensions work?


Lash extensions are small black fibers that imitate eyelashes and are glued to natural eyelashes. The fibers are available as separate pieces or as a strip. Anyone can put on strip lashes. Individual lashes are normally applied by professionals. Our advice concentrates on the latter because they are more difficult and costly.





What is the procedure for applying eyelash extensions?

Licensed experts apply artificial lashes with care, adding the microscopic extensions one by one to achieve a dramatic yet natural effect. After the service, your lash extensions will last the length of your natural lashes' development cycle. Though each person's lash development is unique, this procedure usually takes six to eight weeks. Most professionals, however, recommend touch-ups every three to four weeks.


What material are they made of?

Mink, synthetic hair, and synthetic silk are the most often used extension materials. Because mink extensions are the lightest and softest, some people feel they are the greatest artificial eyelashes. It is also the reason they are the most costly. Synthetic lashes are usually the thickest and heaviest of the lot, resulting in a striking appearance. Synthetic silk extensions are the most often utilized form of extensions nowadays since they are very light, extremely dark, and can keep a curl.


How much do eyelash extensions cost?





How long does the application process take?
Because the application process is so meticulous, getting a full set can take 2.5–3 hours. Most clients use the time to nap. Half sets and touch ups take considerably less time.


How long do eyelash extensions last?
Six to eight weeks. Lash extensions last through a full growth cycle of natural eyelashes, typically six to eight weeks. That said, because each person's lash growth is somewhat variable (just hair growth), I suggest light lash maintenance every three to four weeks to maintain a full look.


Are eyelash extensions harmful to your natural lashes?
The most common misconception is that lash extensions damage your natural lashes. They are not. They are safe if used carefully and do not harm the health of your natural lashes. Avoid rubbing your eyes or tugging or pulling on the extensions as this can result in lash loss and possibly harm to your natural lashes.

Is it okay to wear eyeliner with lash extensions?
With eyelash extensions, liquid, cream, and pencil liners are dangerous. Oil-based liquid eyeliners are not suggested since they might weigh down the lashes and induce premature lash loss. Powder eyeliner complements eyelash extensions the best. Make sure you use an oil-free formula.


Can you put on makeup when wearing eyelash extensions?
Mascara designed particularly for lash extensions can be used to coat the tips of the extensions. To remove makeup, use an oil-free eye makeup remover, such as the Garnier Skinactive Micellar Cleansing Water. Eye makeup and eyeliner can also be used as long as they are oil-free and removed on a regular basis.


Can eyelash extensions be used to wipe your eyes?
According to Richardson, always use cleansers that have been particularly developed to be safe for eyelash extensions. Other products may contain elements that damage your lash extensions' connection and cause them to shed prematurely. If you're wearing eye makeup, use oil-free pads to gently wipe your lids and lashes clean, rather than back and forth. Avoid rubbing or straining at your eyes at all costs.
