1. How long do lash extensions last?
One of the most frequently asked questions about lash extensions is their longevity. Typically, lash extensions can last anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks, depending on factors such as your natural lash growth cycle, how well you care for them, and the type of adhesive used. It’s important to follow proper aftercare instructions provided by your lash technician to maximize the lifespan of your extensions.
2. Do false lashes damage natural lashes?
When applied correctly by a trained and experienced lash technician, lash extensions should not damage your natural lashes. Proper isolation and application techniques ensure that each extension is attached to an individual natural lash without causing strain or damage. However, improper application or neglecting aftercare instructions can lead to lash breakage or premature shedding. Choosing a reputable salon and following proper aftercare to keep your natural lashes healthy is essential.
3. How are the lashes applied?
Lash extensions are applied by a trained lash technician using a specialized adhesive. The process involves isolating each natural lash with tweezers and carefully attaching a synthetic lash extension to it, using a bonding agent. The extensions are applied one by one, following the natural lash line and customized to achieve the desired look, whether it’s a natural enhancement or dramatic volume. The entire process can take anywhere from 1 to 2 hours, depending on the desired look and the skill level of the technician.
4. Can I wear makeup after?
Yes, you can wear makeup with lash extensions, but it’s essential to choose products that are safe for use with extensions. Avoid oil-based or waterproof makeup products, as they can weaken the adhesive bond and cause premature shedding. Instead, opt for oil-free and water-based makeup formulas, and use gentle, non-abrasive makeup removal techniques to avoid damaging your lashes.
5. What does aftercare look like?
Proper aftercare is crucial for maintaining the longevity and appearance of your lash extensions. Some essential aftercare tips include avoiding oil-based skincare products and makeup removers, refraining from rubbing or pulling on your lashes, and gently cleansing them with a lash-safe cleanser. It’s also recommended to avoid excessive exposure to heat, steam, or moisture for the first 24 to 48 hours after application to allow the adhesive to fully cure.
