How do eyelash extensions work?

The extensions are made of tiny black fibers that resemble eyelashes and are attached to the natural eyelashes with glue. Either the fibers come individually or as a strip. Anyone can apply strip lashes. Individual lashes are typically applied by professionals. Because they're more complicated, not to mention expensive, we focus on the latter.


What is the process of applying eyelash extensions?

Technicians carefully apply fake lashes by attaching each extension one by one to create a look that's both dramatic and natural. The lash extensions will last for the full growth cycle of your natural eyelashes. The growth of eyelashes varies from person to person, but it generally takes six to eight weeks. Most technicians recommend touch-ups every three to four weeks.


Where do they come from?

Mink, synthetic hair, and synthetic silk are the most common extension materials. Mink extensions are known for being the lightest and softest, which is why many people believe they are the best fake eyelashes. They are also the most expensive. Synthetic lashes are typically the thickest and heaviest of the bunch, resulting in a highly dramatic look. Synthetic silk extensions are the most common type of extensions used nowadays because they tend to be fairly light, very dark, and able to hold a curl. 

How much do eyelash extensions cost?



How long does the application process take?
Because the application process is so meticulous, getting a full set can take 2.5–3 hours. Most clients use the time to nap. Half sets and touch ups take considerably less time.


How long do eyelash extensions last?
Six to eight weeks. Lash extensions last through a full growth cycle of natural eyelashes, typically six to eight weeks. That said, because each person's lash growth is somewhat variable (just hair growth), I suggest light lash maintenance every three to four weeks to maintain a full look.

Do eyelash extensions ruin your natural lashes?
The biggest myth is that lash extensions ruin your own lashes. They do not. If applied correctly and properly, they are safe and do not ruin the health of your natural lashes. Be sure not to rub your eyes or tug or pull on the extensions because this can cause lash loss and even damage to your natural lashes.


Can I wear eyeliner with lash extensions?
Liquid, cream, and pencil liners are risky with eyelash extensions. Oil-based liquid eyeliners are not recommended, because oil can weigh down the lashes and result in premature loss of the extensions. ... Powder eyeliner works best with eyelash extensions. Make sure you opt for an oil-free formulation.

Can you put on eye makeup with eyelash extensions?
Mascara that is specifically formulated for lash extensions can be applied to the tips of the extensions. Oil-free eye makeup remover should be used to remove any makeup, like the Garnier Skinactive Micellar Cleansing Water. Eye shadow and eyeliner can also be applied as long as it is oil-free and removed daily.
Can I swim or shower with my eyelash extensions?
You can, but not until you’ve waited at least 24 hours after your appointment. “Eyelash adhesives vary in the time they take to cure, from either 12 to 24 hours depending on what glue your stylist uses,” says Marin. It’s super important that you’re gentle with your lashes and make sure that no water touches them during this time, says Richardson. You can shower after getting lashes as long as you don’t get the lashes wet and don’t stay in the steam for too long.

Can you wash your eyes with eyelash extensions?
Only use cleaners specifically formulated to be safe for eyelash extensions, says Richardson. Other products may contain ingredients that can weaken the bond of your lash extensions and cause them to shed prematurely. And if you’re wearing eye makeup, use oil-free pads and gently swipe downward, rather than back and forth, to get your lids and lashes clean. And whatever you do, avoid rubbing or tugging at your eyes.


Should you brush your lash extensions?

Lashes can get tangled when you’re sleeping or showering, so it’s required that you gently brush your lashes with a clean spoolie brush when you wake up, after you shower, and at the end of the day. And to prevent unnecessary tangling, try to sleep on your back or side (not your stomach) and use a silk pillowcase, which tends to be gentler on extensions, says Richardson.
