Accepted Answer

In most cases, eyelash extensions should last as long as your natural lashes – an average of between 4 and 6 weeks.   However, the longevity of them will also depend on factors such as general lifestyle, your daily cleansing routine, skin type, average lash growth cycle, the type of makeup products you use daily, and aftercare routine.   Having an infill every 2 to 4 weeks will help maintain the fullness of your eyelash extensions.

Question 7

Will eyelash extensions damage my natural lashes?

Accepted Answer

Having eyelash extensions applied is a safe and a pain-free procedure. Your eyes remain closed throughout the procedure and a professional adhesive is used to apply the extensions.   The extensions are applied to the eyelashes themselves, and provided that they are applied correctly, will not cause damage to original lashes.

Question 8

How long does it take?

Accepted Answer

Attaching the lashes normally takes anywhere from 1 to 2.5 hours for a full set. Infills will take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to do.

Question 9

How do I choose the right set of eyelash extensions?

Accepted Answer

Differences between eyelash extension sets include the amount of lashes applied, how long your appointment is and how much it is costing.   A longer appointment time will equate to more lashes being applied. When more lashes are applied, the end result will look better for longer.   A few other deciding factors include your regular eye makeup routine, whether they are being applied for a once-off occasion or for everyday use, the thickness of your natural lashes, your budget and the amount of time you have available to have them applied.

Question 10

How do I prepare for having eyelash extensions applied?

Accepted Answer

Start by ensuring that all eye makeup is removed with oil-free cleanser before your appointment. In cases where you want to have lash tinting done, this must be done a few days beforehand.   If you have recently had an lash perm treatment, you will have to wait for at least 3 months before having extensions applied. Avoid using eyelash curlers on the day that the extensions are being applied and if you are sensitive to caffeine, it is recommended that you refrain from consuming it on the day as well.   The extensions must be kept dry for the first 24 hours after application, so it is recommended that you gym, shower and wash your hair beforehand.
