What Are Lash Extensions?

Eyelash extensions are temporary strands that are glued to the natural lashes so that your lash hair can look lengthier, denser, and enhanced. Each lash extensions are glued to each of your single natural lashes (one extension per natural eyelash) using a temporary adhesive. The serum changes from salon to salon, but extensions can be made of faux, mink, synthetic mink, or silk strands. Usually salons offer a different sets of extension lengths, perm styles, and dyes so clients can customize their appearance.

Types of Eyelash Extensions

Lash cosmetician use three various types of eyelash extension: mink, silk, and synthetic. Some salon also offer “synthetic mink” extensions, which are basically just synthetic extensions that act like mink extensions. some lash salons have their preference for the kind of lash extensions they will offer you and won’t always get your opinion on it unless you have a set preference. So if the client is vegetarian or allergic to animals, then they should definitely request that mink lash extensions are not applied on you. No lash extension kind lasts more time than the different type, but mink and silk lashes usually have a more easy and real appearance, whereas fake lashes can be denser and enhanced, according to what is better suited for those who want a bolder appearance. Within the three lash varieties offered, there are many degrees of length and perm to choose from. Normally your lash cosmetician will use many different lengths and wave tightness to give a bold eye effect, with longer lashes being adhered on the outer corners of the eyes and shorter lashes glued on the inside corners.

What’s the Application Process Like?

Lash extensions are very precisely glued one at a time with a special, temporary adhesive that will not irritate or destruct the natural lash. The lash is only glued to a natural lash, not to the eyelid. While the same procedure changes from studio to studio, here’s what you can expect from the treatment appointment:

Evaluation

Before the application, the cosmetician must go through all the risks and benefits of having eyelash extensions before adhering them, and also ask about any problems or allergies you may have that would make this process not perfect for you. They’ll also ask you to take off your contact lenses if you wear them.

Decide on Extension Length and Curl Strength

The lash cosmetician should begin the procedure by asking you what type of look you desire, whether that be more bold or more natural. according on your answer, they’ll choose a perfect length and perm tightness for the lash extensions. Keep in mind that your cosmetician may choose to use up to 3-4 various extension lengths, focusing longer extensions on the outer corners and shorter extensions on the inside corners.

Cleansing the Eye Area

Your lash cosmetician will clean the area to get rid of any makeup, oil, and germs from the part undergoing the procedure. It’s better for your artist if you come makeup-free to your salon.

Applying the Tape and Eye Gels

Your eyes kept shut for the duration of the treatment, which usually takes 1-2 hours, varying on the number of fans your lash artist is gluing. To get ready for the actual gluing part, you lash cosmetician will apply an under-eye cream to your lower lash line to put your lower lashes out of the work area and give a contrasted background to work with.

Application

With tweezers, your lash cosmetician will put the edge of each extension in the lash adhesive serum and then put it to each single lash. In most scenarios, one eyelash extension is glued per natural lash, although, more denser looks can require many extensions on each natural lash. The procedure isn’t painful at all , however you may feel nervous having tweezers working so close to your eyes while they’re shut.

Drying

The lash adhesive dries very fast, but your lash cosmetician will probably have you stick for around 10 minutes after all of the extensions have been glued.

Removing the Tape and Gels: Once all the lash extensions are completely dry and stuck to the natural strands, your lash artist will take off the under-eye gels and tape.
