Eyelash extensions are an excellent and trendy method to get a beautiful and captivating look. Especially to those who weren’t blessed with full natural lashes, it is a way to have intense eyes without the daily application of mascara or other products.
Lash extensions are basically semi-permanent lashes that are individually hand-glued on top of the natural lashes, giving them a fuller and longer look. They are also customizable and look natural.
It is a painless and safe process, but it is important to note the main possible risk of eye irritation. Eyelash extensions require glue to attach the extension to the natural follicle, and eyes are incredibly sensitive to these chemicals. Even with hypoallergenic ingredients, it is still possible to inflame or irritate tissue by weighing them down or pulling on the hairs. Furthermore, proper daily cleaning with the right product is also necessary to avoid problems.
Another issue is that it is not recommended to rub the eyes or sleep with the face on the pillow with eyelash extensions. This might damage the lashes and make them fall out faster. The sessions last about two hours, and this is a good factor to remember when choosing a professional; if it is done much less time than that, something might be off.
Taking everything into consideration, including the fact that it is an expensive procedure and that maintenance is needed every 2 to 4 weeks, having lash extensions is still a fabulous thing as you will wake up every day with long, fluttering, gorgeous lashes and look younger and fresh than ever.
