WHAT ARE EYELASH EXTENSIONS?
Eyelash Extensions are individual lashes made from high quality of 100% polyester fibre. They come in a variety of lengths, thicknesses, colours and curl types. They are applied to your natural lashes, and hold their bond until your natural lash sheds from its own shed cycle.
HOW LONG DO LASH EXTENSIONS LAST?
Lash extensions should last as long as your natural lash stays in before it sheds and a new lash grows in behind it. This is anywhere from 2-4 weeks on average. Each natural lash is in a different stage of growth (Anagen, Catagen & Tealgen) so refills/top up appointments are needed accordingly to keep lashes looking full. Average shedding is 1-5 lashes per day.
CAN MASCARA OR OTHER MAKE-UP BE WORN WITH LASH EXTENSIONS?
Mascara is a no-no unless its lash extension safe mascara which will be on sale here soon.
ARE LASH EXTENSIONS COMFORTABLE?
When lash extensions are applied correctly (one false lash that is the appropriate diameter bonded to one natural lash) they will be completely comfortable and you wont feel them at all. If you have tried lashes and they felt heavy or like they were pulling your lash line or felt sore then they were unfortunately applied incorrectly and may have caused damage to your natural lashes.
LASH EXTENSION DO’S
Wash your eyelash extensions daily with an oil free cleanser.
Brush your lash extensions to keep them groomed and tangle free.
Bat your gorgeous lashes at anyone who crosses your path.
LASH EXTENSION DO NOT’S
Rub, Tug or pull on your lash extensions.
Sleep on your lash extensions or grind them into your pillow.
Use any products containing oil around your lashes or inside the orbital bone.
DO THEY CAUSE DAMAGE TO YOUR NATURAL LASHES?
If your lashes are applied by a trained professional that has experience in the profession then no. Eyelash Extensions in fact help to make your lashes grow because you no longer need to use products on them such as mascara that needs to be rubbed and rubbed to get off, nor do you need to use an eyelash curler because the extensions are curly.
Unfortunately there are a lot of lash providers out there that are not properly trained or they don’t care about your lash health.
Providing lash extensions takes time, patience and extreme attention to detail. Each false lash should only be bonded to one natural lash and the lash diameter that is used should be appropriate for your natural lashes. Coarse natural lashes can handle a thicker false lash however finer natural lashes must have only fine lashes applied to ensure there is no damage done to the lashes.
At Lash Envy our methods are tried and tested to ensure optimal lash health.
