Eyelash Extension FAQs: A Guide to Stunning Lashes
The eyes are often referred to as the windows to the soul and enhancing them can make a remarkable difference in one’s overall appearance. Eyelash extensions have become a popular beauty trend, offering a way to achieve long, luscious lashes without the hassle of daily mascara application or the upkeep of false eyelashes.
In this article, the lash experts at Advanced Laser Skin Care & Spa in Clinton Township delve into the most frequently asked questions about eyelash extensions – providing a comprehensive guide for those seeking to elevate their eye aesthetics.
What are Eyelash Extensions?
Eyelash extensions can be made of synthetic or natural fibers, as well as real hair. Each individual lash is attached to an individual natural lash using a special adhesive. Unlike traditional false lashes that come in strips, extensions are meticulously applied one-by-one to achieve a more natural and customizable look.
Eyelash extensions vary in length, thickness, and curl, allowing for a personalized enhancement that complements your eye shape and match your overall style.
What Is the Eyelash Extensions Process?
During the eyelash extension application process at Advanced Laser Skin Care & Spa in Clinton Township, our skilled technician meticulously attaches each extension to a natural lash. It’s a delicate and precise procedure, typically taking about two hours for a full set. The client lies comfortably with closed eyes as the technician carefully selects and isolates each natural lash, adhering the extension with a safe, specially formulated, semi-permanent, waterproof adhesive.
How Long Do Eyelash Extensions Last?
The lifespan of eyelash extensions varies, but on average, they last for about 4 to 6 weeks. As your natural lashes shed, so too will the attached extensions. To maintain a consistently lush look, many clients opt for touch-ups every month or so.
How Do I Care for my Eyelash Extensions?
Proper care is essential for the longevity of eyelash extensions. Avoid oil-based products around the eyes, as they can weaken the adhesive. Gentle cleansing with a designated lash cleanser and brushing with a ‘spoolie’ will help keep the extensions neat and in place.
Do Eyelash Extensions Work on Any Lash Length & Color?
Yes, eyelash extensions can enhance lashes of various lengths and colors. Whether you have short, straight lashes or longer ones that lack volume, extensions can provide the desired fullness and length. Eyelash extensions also come in different colors, to match your natural hair and eyelash color – as well as allowing for subtle enhancements or more dramatic effects.
What are the Advantages of Eyelash Extensions?
Eyelash extensions offer a convenient, time-saving solution compared to daily mascara application. They provide a natural, seamless look without the risk of clumping or smudging. You will wake up with beautiful eyes – and even emerge from the shower or the gym – with luscious lashes at all times.
Unlike traditional false lashes, extensions are individually applied, ensuring a more authentic appearance and a comfortable, lightweight feel. And eyelash extensions last for months without discomfort – unlike false eyelashes which must be applied and removed daily.
Can I wear mascara with eyelash extensions?
In most cases, mascara isn’t necessary with eyelash extensions, as they already provide a voluminous look. If you feel the need for extra drama on occasion, you can choose a water-based mascara, avoiding oil-based ones that can weaken the adhesive.
Can I swim or shower with eyelash extensions?
Yes, you can! The eyelash extensions offered at Advanced Laser Skin Care & Spa in Clinton Township are water-resistant, allowing you to shower, or engage in water activities. However, excessive or prolonged exposure to water might reduce their lifespan, so it’s advisable to gentle pat them dry with a clean cotton cloth after swimming or showering.
Can I get eyelash extensions if I have allergies or sensitive eyes?
Yes, you can. However, it’s crucial to communicate any allergies or sensitivities to your technician beforehand. We can recommend certain hypoallergenic adhesives and materials to ensure a comfortable experience.
Are eyelash extensions safe?
When applied by a trained and experienced technician, like those at Advanced Laser Skin Care & Spa in Clinton Township, eyelash extensions are exceedingly safe. The adhesive is formulated for use around the eyes, and the extensions are applied to individual lashes to prevent contact with the skin.
What should I avoid after getting eyelash extensions?
In the first 24 hours after getting eyelash extensions at Advanced Laser Skin Care & Spa in Clinton Township, it’s advisable to avoid water, steam (and always avoid oil-based products around the eyes). Additionally, refrain from rubbing, curling, or pulling at the extensions to prevent damage to the extensions and to your natural lashes.
