Is it safe to use eyelash extensions on a regular basis or should you use them only for special occasions?

Are your eye lashes thin? Do you want it to look darker, longer and thicker? Are you always yearning for dreamy eyes with long and curled lashes? Well, you can apply good mascara or false eyelashes, but it is a long process. Using eyelash curler is yet another issue. Moreover, girls who are always on a rush and want a quick touch up on their eyes just do not have patience for applying mascara or false eyelashes as it takes time. Thus, eyelash extensions is the perfect beauty solution for that quick makeover for your eyes. Long beautiful eyelashes make you look younger and healthier. You look attractive and appealing.

Whether you want the natural look or want extra volume, you can choose from various options. At a professional salon, the eyelash extension technician is well trained and highly knowledgeable to do his job perfectly and flawlessly. He will discuss about your choices and will customize the eyelashes that meet your expectations and look great on you. The technician is trained enough to apply eyelash extensions that feel just like your natural ones. You can go swimming, take a shower or perform exercises, your eyelash extensions will stay intact. These last for 4 to 6 weeks till they actually wear out like you natural ones. Since the life of your natural ones is just 4 to 6 weeks, you need to get regular refills and touch ups done every 2 to 3 weeks so that the quality and thickness is maintained.     

No matter what your age is, eyelash extension is suitable for any age group provided you have natural eyelashes to stick the extensions to. But if you suffer from any kind of allergic reaction or have an eye infection, eye extensions could lead to more eye issues. Women who have undergone an eye surgery or any cosmetic eye surgery must wait till the eye is completely healed post surgery. Make sure you choose a professional salon to get the job done as they have experienced technicians that are well trained and experienced to do the job right. However, post care is equally important to maintain the quality of your natural eyelashes.

Here is how to take care of your lash extensions as well as natural lashes.

• Gently handle your lashes and post-treatment make sure to avoid water contact for at least 24 hours. Also do not touch or rub your eyes. Stay away from pools, sauna baths, steam baths etc. for another 48 hours after application.
• Never use eyelash curler or any other treatment like permming or tinting. This weakens the bonds and your lash extension may break or harm your natural eyelashes.
• Do not wear eye makeup or use mascara on lash extensions and do not apply oil or oil based products, like moisturizers, lotion, cleanser etc. on your eyes after the treatment. Oil based products tend to dilute the glue which may cause your extensions to fall off before time.
• Do not sleep with face down as you may press your lash extensions.
• Do not pluck or pull the loose lash extensions as you might unknowingly pluck your natural eyelash too.
