LASH EXTENSIONS

Lash extensions are a popular beauty trend that involves attaching individual synthetic eyelashes to your natural lashes using specialized glue. This creates a thicker, fuller, and longer appearance for your lashes, without the need for mascara or other eye makeup.

Lash extensions typically last for 3-6 weeks, depending on your natural lash growth cycle and how well you care for them. To maintain your lashes, it's important to avoid oil-based makeup and products, and gently clean them with a lash extension-friendly cleanser, as well as maintaining a regular "fill" appointment every 2-3 weeks.

There are several different styles of lash extensions, including classic, hybrid, and volume and mega but we will quickly discuss the main two – classic and volume.

Classic Lash Extensions - These are the most natural looking eyelash extensions and are ideal for adding length and thickness to your natural lashes. Classic lash extensions are individually applied to your natural lashes to create the appearance of longer, curlier lashes with increased volume.

Volume Lash Extensions - Volume lash extensions are a more dramatic option for those looking for fuller lashes with greater volume. These extensions are attached to your natural lashes in small clusters, with each cluster containing multiple synthetic lash fibers. The multiple fibers give your lashes the appearance of greater density and volume without being too heavy.

How are Lash Extensions Applied?

Before you have your lash extensions applied, you’ll need to have a consultation with a qualified lash technician. The technician will discuss the look that you want to achieve, to ensure that you both agree on the ideal eyelash style. You then lie down on a comfortable bed or chair with your eyes closed and the technician gets to work. Before the application, the technician prepares your lashes by cleansing them thoroughly and removing any makeup or oils. The synthetic lash extensions are attached to your natural lashes using a special adhesive that keeps the extension in place for up to eight weeks. The application process can take anywhere between two to three hours depending on the desired lash style and type.

How do I Maintain My Lash Extensions?

There are a few simple things you can do to keep your lash extensions looking their best and lasting for as long as possible. Here are some top tips:

1. Avoid getting your lashes wet for the first 24 hours after application. You should also avoid hot steam, humid temperatures, and vigorous activity during this period.

2. Avoid using oil-based makeup products near your eyes. These can weaken the eyelash extension glue, causing the extensions to fall off faster.

3. Use a specialized lash brush to keep your lashes looking groomed and neat.

4. Avoid rubbing your eyes or tugging at your lashes. This can cause the extensions to become dislodged or damage your natural lashes.

5. Book in for regular fill appointments to keep your extension looking full and fresh.

6. Avoid touching your lashes often as your fingers have naturally occurring oils that can weaken the adhesive.

7. Try to sleep on your back to avoid damaging your lashes. Sleeping on your side can cause the extensions to rub up against your pillow and fall off quickly.

Conclusion Lash extensions can be a great addition to your beauty routine if you’re looking to add volume and length to your natural lashes. No matter what your personal style and preferences are, there’s an ideal set of lash extensions for you. With the proper care and maintenance, lash extensions can last for weeks, even months, before you need another session.

While lash extensions can be a great way to enhance your natural beauty, it's important to choose a  licensed, trained and experienced lash technician to ensure that the application process is done safely and effectively. Be sure to ask for recommendations and check out before-and-after photos before booking your appointment.
