Eyelash extensions are individual eyelashes that are glued hair by hair to your own eyelashes. The eyelash extensions lengthen and thicken your own eyelashes, giving you a very beautiful and natural effect. You can do everything with the eyelashes, such as swimming, exercising and showering. The glue has a strong bonding force and can therefore withstand quite a bit. However, the lashes and the glue must be properly cared for for the best results.
But what does such a treatment actually look like? Does it hurt or is it annoying to put on eyelash extensions? No, on the contrary, many people even fall asleep during the treatment. Make sure you come to the appointment without makeup. Together with the eyelash stylist you will see which eyelashes best suit your wishes and eyes. The stylist then carefully tapes off your lower lashes to prevent the glue from sticking your eyelids together. Then you close your eyes and the treatment can begin. Every natural eyelash has an extension stuck to it. Because your own eyelashes are used as a base, the extensions have more hold and stay in place better.
Unfortunately, eyelash extensions are not suitable for everyone. Your own eyelashes must be in good condition to provide support for the extensions. In addition, you may not be allergic to the glue and chemo treatments are not desirable before placing eyelash extensions. It is also not recommended to have eyelash extensions applied if you have eczema, alopecia (extreme hair loss) or blepharitis (eye rim inflammation). In addition, you have a waiting period of six months after an eyelid correction and three months after laser eye surgery.
Lens wearers can easily have eyelash extensions applied, although you must be extra careful with this.
