How Do Eyelash Extensions Work?

Once reserved for proms and weddings and then peeled off at the end of the night, eyelash extensions now add a dose of glamour to everyday life.

The tiny extensions are attached one-by-one by licensed technicians to create a look that is both dramatic yet natural.

However, there is some inquisitiveness regarding the eyelash extensions. Here are some questions & answers that will help you know more about eyelash extensions.

What are eyelash extensions?

Lash extensions are tiny black fibers that resemble eyelashes, which are attached to natural eyelashes using glue.

The fibers either come as individual pieces or attached to a strip and the strip lashes can be attached by anyone.

Professional assistance is sought when a person is opting for individual lashes because they are more complicated & expensive.

What are they made out of?

The most common extension materials are mink, synthetic hair, and synthetic silk.

Mink extensions are the lightest and softest, which is why some people believe they are the best fake eyelashes.

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 are fairly light, very dark, and able to hold a curl.

How many extension is required?

Extensions are of two types full set & partial set and if you opt for a full set, then you will need as many extensions as you have eyelashes-about per eye.

If you are opting for a partial set, a good option for newbies & those who want just a little enhancement, you will need about per eye.

How are they applied?

A technician applies patches to the undereye area to help hold down your bottom lashes.

Then a primer is applied to your upper lashes before using tweezers to fan out your lashes and isolate one of them.

Then, using tweezers, the technician picks up a tiny extension, dips into glue, and carefully attaches it on top of the isolated natural eyelash.

How long do extensions last?

The lifespan of the extension hinges on the growth cycle of your natural lashes.

Eyelash extensions fall out when the natural lashes, they are attached to fall out, that is, typically within 6-8 weeks.

Most reputable salons suggest that extensions can last up to 6 weeks with proper care, but touchups are recommended every 3 weeks to keep them looking at their best.

Finally

By going through the above discussion, you can assume that the eyelash extensions add quirkiness to your appearance.

You must exercise caution and shouldn't get your new extensions wet for at least the first 48 hours after application.
