Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent fibers that adhere to natural lashes so that the fringes of the eyelashes appear longer, fuller and darker. Individual eyelash extensions are applied to each of the individual natural lashes (one extension per natural eyelash) with a semi-permanent glue. Avoiding water, sweat and hot tubs helps the glue to stick perfectly around the extensions. Waiting this time allows your lashes to last longer.
Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent eyelashes that are glued by hand to natural lashes, says Andra Marin, artistic director and expert eyelash stylist at Courtney Akai Lash Boutique in New York. Your eyelash artist will talk to you about each of these materials and create the lashes that are perfectly customized for you. Always clarify with your eyelash technician what the best aftercare protocol is for your specific set, but it's a good idea to refrain from pulling, pulling, rubbing, or applying any type of oily formula. When this happens, the natural lashes that grow faster will tear off the slow-growing lashes as they stick together.
And with hybrid eyelash extensions, your eyelash technician can combine them and add a fan where you want more volume, and reduce it with simple ones. A consultation will also help you determine which material to choose (the most common are silk and synthetic mink; silk is a little shinier and stands out more, while mink is more wavy and natural), the length and type of curl (J is the lightest curve but ends up looking longer; C and D are the most inverted), as well as how many eyelashes must be applied. However, since natural eyelashes don't grow at the same rate, you'll likely have holes in your eyes after your extensions start to fall out. Your eyelash studio and artist are likely to sell oil-free mascara and eyeliner, so ask your professional for advice.
As eyelashes grow above the lash line where they started, the spool could get stuck and pull the lashes out, so at that point, Phillips suggests using only the tip of the spool to separate the hairs from the lashes and prevent them from coming out. If all of that sounds confusing, don't worry, a licensed eyelash specialist will help you make the best decision for your lashes, including the type of material you should buy, such as synthetic mink or synthetic silk. Your eyelashes can get tangled when you sleep or shower, so brush gently with a clean brush when you wake up, after showering, and at the end of the day. Therefore, for a stunning and natural look, you'll need to figure out which eyelash extensions are best for your eyes.
