Eyelash Extensions
Eyelash Extensions are the latest fad in beauty. Unlike false eyelashes, they are glued to your individual lashes with adhesive one by one with lash tweezers. It gives the effect of a longer and fuller luck. Also, they eliminate the need for mascara which means no more clumping and running. They are available in different lengths and colors and you can custom select whatever works best for you. The cost ranges depending on your choice but is usually always under $500. The time to have them put on takes around two hours so be prepared to spend some time at the salon.
For the time and effort that you put into it, an eye lash extension is only going to have a lifespan as lengthy as the eyelash that it is attached to. Individual eyelash cycles are different, but the average cycle is about 2 months. Your daily activities will make a good determination of how long that they will last. You can do normal daily activities such as bathing, swimming, or exercising. Steam or humidity could cause the adhesive to loosen. At the worst, you may have to take a trip back to the salon to have them touched up.
If cost is an issue, there are lower cost alternatives to salon eyelash extensions. Semi permanent extensions are a fraction of the cost but only last up to two weeks.
There are some things that you should avoid while wearing eyelash extensions:
-Rubbing your eyes
-Avoid oil-based cosmetics since they make the product degrade
-Take care in removing your eye make-up. Cotton balls get into the extensions and its hard to remove
-Wearing a mask to sleep or laying on your face while you sleep
-Mascara is not necessary with extensions. It will make them heavy and droopy.
