What You Should Know About Eyelash Extensions

• Many people turn to eyelash extensions when they
  want long, beautiful, luscious lashes. But,
  surprisingly, most people dont know a lot about
  the lashes or the extension procedure. However,
  if youre thinking about eyelash extensions,
  youll need to know what youre getting into
  before you get into it. Below are five things you
  should know about eyelash extensions.

3
Extensions Can Be Customised

• Eyelash extensions can look and function however
  the customer wants. They come in a variety of
  types, styles and lengths and can be attached in
  several ways. Synthetic lashes are the cheapest,
  most common lash type, but eyelashes are
  available in mink or silk materials.

4

• Mink lashes offer the most dramatic look and the
  highest price. On the other hand, silk lashes are
  affordable and offer a realistic look and feel.
  But, no matter what lashes you choose, theyre
  all semi-permanent, meaning theyll have to come
  off some time.

5

• Lash extensions can also be as long and as curly
  as you like. Extensions range from 6mm to 17mm
  and from straight to C-shaped. Although, J-shaped
  lashes are the most popular.

6
Eyelash Extensions Arent Harmful

• Having something glued to a structure as
  sensitive as the eyelash can seem frightening.
  Moreover, having glue near your eyes can be even
  more frightening. Fortunately, eyelash extensions
  and the glue used to attach them are completely
  safe. The lashes are made from harmless
  materials, and the glue is specially formulated
  for use around the eyes.

7

• Glues are also formaldehyde and toxin-free and
  rarely cause irritation, unless youre allergic
  to some of the ingredients in the formula. If you
  are, you may experience mild irritation and
  itching, which warrants immediate removal.

8
The Procedure Takes Time

• Getting eyelash extensions isnt something that
  can be done on your lunch break. The procedure
  takes at least an hour, and in some cases, can
  take up to three hours to complete. However, the
  amount of time it takes to apply lashes depends
  on the lash type and shape.

9

• All lashes are delicate and must be applied
  carefully (which can contribute to the amount of
  time it takes to complete the procedure), but
  some are more delicate than others. For example,
  because theyre more delicate, it may take longer
  to apply C-shaped lashes than to apply J-shaped
  ones.

10
They Require Professional Removal

• Given time, semi-permanent lashes will fall off
  naturally. But its safer to have them
  professionally removed. This will protect the
  integrity of your real lashes and ensure the glue
  is properly removed.

11

• Fortunately, lash extensions can last up totwo
  months, so they wont need to be removed that
  often. However, the longevity of your lashes
  depends on how well you care for them. Proper
  care will extend their life and obviously,
  prolong the removal process.

12
Mascara Can Be Applied to Lash Extensions

• Eyelash extensions should be treated like real
  lashes, meaning you can apply mascara to them.
  The only caveat you cant apply oil-based
  mascara or other makeup products to lash
  extensions. These products can affect the lash
  material and glue, causing them to stiffen or
  fall off.

13

• Obviously, this will ruin your extensions and
  cost time and money to fix. Fortunately,
  professionals like Lash Up never let a client
  leave without providing instructions for proper
  lash maintenance. Their personnel can provide you
  with sound advice and the best custom eyelash
  extensions Edmonton has to offer.
