Eyelash Extensions

Eyelash extensions are a cosmetic application where individual synthetic, silk, or mink lashes are attached to your natural eyelashes to enhance their length, thickness, and fullness. The extensions are applied using a special adhesive and are designed to last for several weeks.

There are different types of eyelash extensions, including:

- Individual lashes: applied one by one to create a natural look

- Volume lashes: multiple lashes applied to each natural lash for a fuller look

- Cluster lashes: a group of lashes applied together for a more dramatic look

Eyelash extensions can be customized to suit your eye shape, lash type, and desired look. They are popular for special occasions, everyday wear, and to enhance the natural beauty of your eyes.

Some benefits of eyelash extensions include:

- Longer, thicker, and fuller lashes

- Enhanced eye appearance

- Time-saving, as you won't need to apply mascara or false lashes

- Comfortable and lightweight

- Can be worn for several weeks with proper care

Eyelash extensions can last anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks, depending on individual factors such as:

- Quality of the application

- Type of lashes used (synthetic, silk, or mink)

- Aftercare routine

- Natural lash growth rate

- Lifestyle factors (e.g., frequent rubbing, swimming, or exposure to harsh chemicals)

On average, you can expect:

- 2-3 weeks for a full set of lashes

- 4-6 weeks for a refill or touch-up

To maintain the longest wear, it's essential to:

- Avoid using oil-based products or makeup removers

- Gently clean your lashes

- Avoid rubbing or touching your eyes

- Schedule regular refills or touch-ups

Keep in mind that your natural lashes shed and grow, and the extensions will gradually fall out with them. Proper care and maintenance can help extend the wear of your eyelash extensions.

Eyelash extension aftercare involves following a set of guidelines to maintain the health and longevity of your natural lashes and extensions. Here are some key tips:

1. Avoid water for 24-48 hours after application
2. Gently clean lashes with a mild soap or specialized lash cleanser
3. Pat dry, don't rub
4. Avoid oil-based products, makeup removers, and heavy creams
5. Use a lash brush to detangle and style
6. Avoid sharing makeup or makeup tools
7. Avoid rubbing or touching your eyes
8. Schedule regular refills or touch-ups (every 2-6 weeks)
9. Avoid using mascara or eyeliner on the extensions
10. Be gentle when washing your face or showering

Additional tips:

- Use a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction

- Avoid excessive heat or steam
