Pick the right length: First and foremost you need to ensure that you choose the right length for your lash extensions. Try to ensure that the length is similar to that of your natural lashes as not only will it look natural but it will also not feel heavy on your eyelids.
02/7False lashes v/s lash extensions
Well, false lashes and lash extensions are quite similar but with lash extensions, you most certainly won't be getting that synthetic feeling. Plus, you can say goodbye to that itchy glue stuff too. Of course, getting lash extensions done can take quite some time (2-3 hours) but trust us when we say they're worth it.
03/7They stay on for 6 to 8 weeks
Of course, this is provided you take good care of them. Don't be rough with your lashes and do everything you can to keep them in tip-top condition. You need to remember that reapplication will cost a lot less than the first application.
04/7Make sure your lashes get a break
Have you heard of Traction Alopecia? It happens to be a condition where hair can fall out due to continuous and excessive tension placed on the hair shaft. If you don't give your lashes a break between lash extension sessions then it is very likely that you might develop this condition.
05/7Pick the right material
Apart from picking the right size, it is also important to pick the right material. Eyelash extensions are available in multiple materials like silk, mink and synthetic materials. Mink happens to look the most natural which is why it is also the most preferred form of lash extensions.
06/7Beware of allergies
Don't just go in blindly for a lash extension procedure before asking some questions first. In fact, the more questions you ask, the better it is for you. One of those questions needs to be about the material they have. This way you'll know if you can avoid any allergies from happening to you.
07/7Clean your lashes
Once you get your lash extension done, you need to make sure that you cleanse your face properly and this also includes the eye area. Not doing so will result in product buildup and that can lead to infections and allergies. Try using diluted products like baby shampoo mixed with water. And if you notice any itching or dryness, it's best to consult a doctor immediately.
