Need To Improve Your Eyelashes? – Extensions Could Be The Answer
Do you need to improve the look of your eyelashes? Extensions are one way forward. In a similar way to hair extensions, eyelashes extensions lengthen and improve the appearance of your natural eyelashes. They differ from “false” eyelashes in that they are applied to individual lashes rather than being glued as a preformed strip to the eyelash line.
Eyelash extensions are synthetic polyester threads of various lengths, thickness and colors that are attached to individual lashes using surgical grade glue. Eyelash extensions should be applied by professionals (estheticians); this is not a job for inexperienced amateurs and by law in the US, practioners have to be fully qualified.
When applied properly, the process will take 90 to 120 minutes to place anything up to 80 lashes to each eye. Your extensions will last from 2 to 8 months and this is dependent on the cycle of hair growth at the time of application.
It’s important to let the glue dry properly before exposing the extensions to steam or heat that may melt the glue before it sets. Placement has to be 1.5 mm away from your eyelid. If they are too close, that’s when they may start to bother you.
As the extensions are glued onto the natural eyelash, they are also shed, along with the natural growth cycle of an eyelash.
Where false lashes may fall off, you can happily can sleep, shower and workout when wearing lash extensions. To maintain your lash extensions, they should be kept conditioned with special cleaning pads and combed through once a day.
On average, eyelash extensions cost between $200 and $500.
