Eyelash Extensions FAQ
Our website has information on eyelash extensions and eyelash growth, so you can find the best salons, eyelash extension kits and the most effective way to make your lashes longer.
I hate to sound like a commercial, but do you have short skimpy lashes? Do you spend ages using mascara to build up your lash?
If this describes you, then you might want to think about using semi-permanent eyelash extensions. These extensions to your natural lash can last up to four or six weeks. Although the length of time eyelash extensions stay on is linked to the life cycle of your real lash, eyelash extensions are a great way to get stunning results.
Are eyelash extensions real or synthetic?
Synthetic. No offense, but I don’t know that I’d want real hair that close to my eyes.
How do the lashes feel?
They feel like real lashes – when you’re wearing mascara. So, they are pretty much weightless.
What happens when your eyelash extensions get wet?
Well, they’re water resistant so bathing, sweating and swimming won’t affect them. You can exercise wearing them. Let’s just say, that anything you can do without them, you can do wearing them.
How are eyelash extensions applied?
They are applied using specially formulated glue that will not irritate your eyes.
Can you apply eyelash extensions at home?
Yes, but the first time you get eyelash extensions, you should have them applied by a licensed professional at a salon.
This will give you a chance to see how the procedure should be done and give you a chance to look at a professional eyelash extension kit.
What kind of maintenance do eyelash extensions require?
There are coating sealants for eyelash extensions. These sealants put a layer of protection between your skin and eyes and the glue that bonds the synthetic lash to your real eyelashes. Their main objective however, is to protect the bond between your real lash and your synthetic lash.
Can I use mascara with eyelash extensions?
Not only can you use mascara, there are also mascaras that are specially formulated to be used with eyelash extensions. Just like the lash sealants, they promise to extend the life of your extensions.
Are there any dangers in using eyelash extensions?
There are two dangers in using eyelash extensions.
For the do-it-yourself crowd who use extension kits, there is always the danger of doing it wrong, and getting glue in your eye. That’s why you pay salons the big bucks – to get this right. Kits aren’t cheap, and sometimes, it simply is worth doing yourself to save twenty bucks, which would be the difference between the kit and the salon.
Even if you have a professional apply your eyelash extensions, you might find yourself in the small percentage of people who have a reaction to the bonding agent or the synthetic. Irritation or dermatitis may occur.
