EYELASH EXTENSIONS: BASICS AND TECHNIQUES

1. What is the difference between lash extensions and lash lifts?

Lash extensions involve attaching individual synthetic lashes to your natural lashes, creating a fuller and longer look. On the other hand, a lash lift is a treatment that enhances your natural lashes by curling them from the base, giving them a lifted appearance.

 

2. How long do lash extensions typically last?

Lash extensions typically last around 4-6 weeks, but this can vary based on individual lash growth and maintenance. Regular touch-ups every 2-3 weeks can help maintain the fullness and longevity of the extensions.

 

3. Are lash extensions damaging to natural lashes?

When applied correctly by a trained professional, lash extensions should not cause damage to your natural lashes. However, improper application, excessive weight, or inadequate care can potentially lead to damage. It’s essential to choose a reputable technician and follow proper aftercare instructions.

 

4. Can I wear makeup with lash extensions?

Yes, you can wear makeup with lash extensions, but it’s important to use oil-free products and avoid using mascara on the extensions. Mascara can cause clumping and premature shedding of the lashes. Additionally, be gentle while removing makeup around the eye area to prevent damaging the extensions.

 

5. How long does a lash lift treatment take?

A lash lift treatment usually takes around 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the technique used and the natural state of your lashes. It is a relatively quick and non-invasive procedure.

 

6. Can I still wear mascara after getting a lash lift?

Yes, you can still wear mascara after getting a lash lift, but it is generally not necessary. The lift and curl achieved from the treatment often provide enough definition to the lashes. If you choose to wear mascara, use a water-based and lash extension-friendly formula to avoid clumping and damaging the lifted lashes.

 

7. How do I maintain my lash extensions or lash lift?

To maintain lash extensions, avoid rubbing or pulling on them, and gently brush them with a clean mascara wand daily. For a lash lift, avoid getting the lashes wet for the first 24 hours and refrain from using oil-based products around the eye area. Regularly conditioning your lashes can also help keep them healthy and strong.

Remember, it’s important to consult with a trained professional for personalized advice and to address any specific concerns you may have before getting any lash service.
