Eyelash extensions are synthetic or natural fibers that are individually applied to your natural eyelashes to enhance their length, thickness, and volume. They are typically used to create a fuller, more dramatic look without the need for mascara or false strip lashes.
Eyelash extensions are safe when applied by a professional who follows proper techniques and uses high-quality products.
Eyelash extensions typically last around 2-4 weeks, depending on your natural lash growth cycle and how well you take care of them. As your natural lashes shed, the extensions will fall out with them, so regular touch-ups are necessary to maintain the full look.
When applied properly, eyelash extensions should not damage your natural lashes. However, using extensions that are too heavy or long for your natural lashes can cause stress and breakage. It's important to choose extensions that suit the strength and length of your natural lashes.
The application process typically takes 1 to 2 hours for a full set of eyelash extensions, depending on the desired look and the number of extensions applied. It's a relaxing process, as you lie back with your eyes closed during the procedure.
You will need touch-ups approximately every 2-3 weeks, as your natural lashes shed and the extensions will fall out with them. Touch-ups help to maintain the full look.
Avoid water for the first 24-48 hours after application to let the adhesive fully cure. Don't rub or pull your lashes to prevent damage. Clean your lashes with a gentle cleanser (oil-free) and a soft brush to remove debris and buildup. Avoid oil-based makeup removers, as oils can weaken the adhesive. Don't use mascara on eyelash extensions, as it can cause clumping and damage.
