Eyelashes are what give your eyes life and nowadays more and more makeup brands are working hard to develop state-of-the-art technologies that can make your eyelashes look longer and thicker, but putting on makeup or applying false eyelashes every day is not something every woman adores, and can certainly tests your patience. That’s why women are choosing semi-permanent solutions of lash extensions to look glamorous and stunning every single day effortlessly.
Lash extensions are a temporary application of individual lashes on your natural lashes with a strong adhesive that can last up to 8 weeks long. Among the innumerable options for eye lash extensions, the three most common are:
- Silk lash extensions: mid-weight artificial lashes which are less natural but beautifully dramatic;
- Mink lash extensions: they are the highest quality, which make them look fluffy and natural. They are the most desirable and premium lash extensions.
The application of eyelash extensions always requires expert lash artists who will suggest the best option for you based on your eye shape, orientation, type of eyelids and other factors. Although trying it at home could sound tempting, you might not be aware of the drastic consequences such attempts could bring. To throw more light on the matter, here are a couple of things that you should keep in mind before opting for a lash extension self-treatment.
1. Eyelash extension adhesive could be harmful if used unskillfully
Lash extension glue is a strong adhesive that needs to be used with assiduous care and precision. When you go through the treatment at a salon you are required to close your eyes completely, and for extra safety, your lash extension artist usually puts a gel patch cover under your eye to keep your eyes safe and protected. When you try this at home, you cannot do it with your eyes closed, which means you’re opening the gates for possible harm such as stinging irritation and allergies. Even if you use a top brand adhesive, whether you have a sensitive eye or not, you should never apply eyelash extensions with open eyes or by yourself.
2. You can end up sticking lashes together.
Perhaps the most classic rule of lash extension is, a single extension must be applied to a single natural lash. Lash extension artists go through elaborate training to master the skill of isolating lashes and applying extensions with utter precision. The process is so meticulous that it can take some lash artists years to fully master. Isolating a single lash, taking adhesive, applying eyelash extensions on your own eyes by looking in the mirror- don’t you think you are inviting disaster?
3. You can stunt your natural eyelash growth.
Every single lash on your eyelid is unique, and they have different growth extents. Some grow faster and some relatively slower. An artist is trained and informed about eyelash types and their potential growth. Based on that knowledge, they apply extensions that your lashes can carry comfortably. When you decide to do it yourself, you may cause your lashes to shed prematurely or can even permanently lose them.
As you can see, the possible consequences of doing eyelash extensions yourself are not worth the trouble.
