​Will lash extensions damage my eye lashes?

These days, everyone is very busy due to their hectic schedules and at the same time everyone wants to look perfect. Even with the perfect dress, the right footwear and matching accessories, you need to wear light makeup to boost your confidence and look up to the mark. However, makeup is incomplete without beautiful, thick and curled eye lashes. There are many women who have thin eyelashes and are not satisfied even after applying mascaras.

Thus, women who dream of having long and thick eyelashes can think about lash extensions that can satisfy their desire for pretty eyelashes. A lot of women are really worried about lash extension as some have experienced bad results. But whether eyelash extensions damage the eye lashes depends on several factors like who does it, the quality of the product, how does your skin react to it etc.

When it is about your eyes, you definitely want to be very careful. Though, there are several DIY kits available on the market, you need to be alert as there are a few risks involved if you are trying it yourself, like pulling the lashes, improper alignment of lashes, improper application of extensions, glue entering your eyes, eye irritation etc. Moreover, you need to remember that you do not have to rub your eyes while you have lash extensions because it can ruin your natural lashes too. There is a certain limit to the length and thickness for lash extensions. This ensures that your natural lashes are not harmed in any way and remain healthy too. Women with shorter and thinner natural lashes won’t look good with very long, thick and curled eye lashes. Hence, if it your first time and you are unsure about the end results, it is better to add half set and then increase as it suits you. It is tougher to remove the lashes that are already added.

These problems can be avoided by choosing a good professional hair salon where a professional beauty technician is well trained for the lash extension job and can explain you the do’s and don’ts in details. Everyone is unique and so are their lashes. Some have thick, some have scanty, some have curled while other have straight. So depending on the type of natural lashes you have, the expert will work accordingly. Since high quality products are used at professional beauty salons, many of the problems can be avoided. The qualified beauticians will work very carefully so the glue doesn’t even touch your skin. So there is no fear of allergic reaction or eye irritation too. Moreover, the professionals know the difference between an infection and allergic reaction. A licensed beautician will not allow the infection to occur but if the glue doesn’t suit your skin, then the allergic reaction will occur, but that doesn’t imply that the glue is dangerous!

Most people also fear that due to the weight of lash extensions, the natural lashes may shed off. The hair follicles of natural lashes cannot bear the weight of lash extensions and may eventually fall off. However, with expert technicians and professional products used for lash extension, this problem is ruled out too.
