If you are looking to create the look of longer, fuller, or thicker lashes, then eyelash extensions are for you. These extensions are applied to your existing lashes to give them the look that you are trying to achieve and may be made from a variety of different materials. If you have any questions about what the extensions are made of, contact your practitioner to see which they offer.

The three most common and popular types of lash extensions are synthetic, silk, and mink. The length of these extensions varies from 6 mm to 17 mm, depending on the look that you are going for. Once you have selected the material and length of lashes you would like, then these are then applied and secured in place with a specially formulated, semi-permanent glue which will not damage or irritate your eyes or your natural lashes.

Some people are concerned that lash extensions may ruin your eyelashes. This is untrue. If you receive lash extensions by an expert, then they do not pose any increased risk to causing damage to your natural eyelashes. They are a completely safe procedure that can be used to give you the thicker, longer lashes that you desire.

Lash extensions typically last between six to eight weeks, which is the length of a full growth cycle of natural eyelashes. However, given that each person’s lash growth will be unique to them, maintenance of lash extensions is typically recommended to occur every three to four weeks to maintain the look that you are trying to achieve. A typical lash extension session will take approximately two hours and can easily and affordably be maintained year-round.

If you have any questions or concerns about getting eyelash extensions, as well as which ones are right for you, you should speak with your practitioner. They will evaluate your natural lashes to help you determine what extension treatment is best for you, the look you want to achieve, and what will not damage or cause harm to your natural lashes.

When you receive lash extensions, keep water away from your eyes and lashes for the first twelve to twenty-four hours after treatment, as water can cause the adhesive not to set properly or weaken which will cause the lash extensions to fall out prematurely.

Lash technicians are trained to apply the adhesive used in lash extensions in a manner that is completely harmless, and your eyes are closed for the duration of the procedure. It is a very safe procedure with low risks that is safe for people of all ages.
