Lash extensions 101: Why you will love it!

Lash extensions are honestly the greatest invention known to woman-kind (in my opinion). Eyelash extensions can completely change your look for the better. Just be warned… it is addictive! Once you start getting your lashes done you won’t be able to stop!

So what is the deal with lash extensions?

There are so many advantages of lash extensions and it will honestly be one of the best things you can ever do to invest in your beauty. It is a non-expensive and non-surgical way to completely upgrade your whole look. Longer lashes instantly make your eyes look bigger and prettier. It is no wonder that they already tried to sow eyelash extensions to women’s lashes many many years ago. Ouch! Even then they knew the beautifying effect that longer lashes could have. Luckily we have a better and safer way to reach our ultimate lash dreams.

Myths about lash extensions

There are unfortunately many myths about lash extensions and one of them is that it damages your own lashes. That is absolutely not the case. If your lashes are applied and removed correctly, it will not damage your own lashes at all. However, you also have to do your part in taking care of your lash extensions by not nit picking and touching them all the time, not using waterproof mascara and not rubbing them at any time. It is however important to decide if lash extensions are the right option for you. If you are someone that touches your face and lashes a lot, it might not be the best fit for you. You should also know that you will have to lay still for two hours when your lashes get applied, so just take that into consideration.

How does it work?

Eyelash extensions are applied to your natural lashes by using a very strong adhesive that is safe to use. Lash extensions only takes about 2 hours to apply depending on how skilled the lash artist is, and the lashes will last for up to 2-3 weeks. After that period of time you just need to go for a fill which only takes about 30 minutes. So it is actually very easy to maintain your lash extensions.

Classic vs volume

You can choose between classic lash extensions and volume lash extensions. Classic lashes are single lash extensions and is used to give your lashes a longer look. The classic lashes will give you an over subtle, beautiful effect. Volume lash extensions are for those who are not scared of some drama. Volume lashes are fairly new in the industry and was only introduced in 2013. These lashes are used to create depth, fill gaps and add texture. Volume lashes will totally transform your face and make you stand out.
