What you should know before buying lashes

Eyelashes can change the way you look completely. By adding tabs, you can upgrade that plain look to a glamorous one. Having extensions can help our natural lashes look fuller, something even mascara can’t help you achieve. Extensions enhance the thickness, fullness, and length of the eyelashes.

There are all kinds of lashes available today and you can choose from human, synthetic, silk or mink hair. The popularity of lashes has been growing by the day and women are looking for a longer lasting option that doesn’t have to be applied every day.

You have to ask yourself how far you are willing to go to have those thicker lashes and if they are really worth it. There are a few things you need to know if you want extensions.

• Guys

There are different types of tabs available on the market today, as described above. In general, mink is softer, feather-like, and lightweight, so it appears natural. The only drawback is the cost. Silk and synthetic extensions can still be customized to save money and achieve a more natural look. You can also choose the density, length and curls.

• use them

To put the extensions, you will have to stick them with a semi-permanent glue, one after the other. This is ideally done with the eyes closed so that the glue does not get into the eyes. Since we all understand how sensitive eyes are, you need to consider the type of glue you use. It makes sense to stay away from glues that contain formaldehyde. Also, be careful because the substance can accumulate during shipping.

• The process

The whole process of gluing the tabs has to be painless. If you experience any discomfort or burning sensation, you should stop the process and find out why this is happening. It may be necessary to change the glue because you could be allergic to some of the ingredients. You may also have an infection. The technician should be able to tell you what the problem is and fix it.

• glued

Extensions are usually glued to your natural lashes and can therefore last as long as your natural lashes are in place. This means that you will have the extension until the natural fall. This happens in about 6 to 8 weeks. You can redo the extensions after four weeks for a fresh look.

• Washed

When you do your lashes, you should try as much as possible not to get them wet for 12-24 hours. This is to prevent weakening of the adhesive. When the glue used is aimed at people with sensitive eyes, stay away from makeup removers or oil-based products around that area.

• Mask

You are free to apply some mascara to the extension tips. This should be done in the lightest way possible. Do not use mascara at the base as it can cause clumps.

You should have a qualified technician do the tabs to avoid damaging them.
