Eyelash extensions are a fantastic way to enhance your eyes and streamline your beauty routine. If you’re considering the lash life, you likely have a few questions swirling around in your mind. That’s why we’re tackling the top five most frequently asked questions about eyelash extensions.

1. Do eyelash extensions ruin your natural lashes?

This is a major concern for many, and understandably so! The good news is that when applied correctly by a skilled technician, eyelash extensions should not damage your natural lashes. Here’s the key: choosing a reputable salon that uses high-quality products and proper application techniques. They’ll isolate each natural lash and attach extensions with a weight and length that your natural lashes can support.

2. Can I wear makeup with eyelash extensions?

Yes, you can still rock your favorite makeup with eyelash extensions. However, there are a few things to keep in mind:

• Oil-free is key: Avoid oil-based makeup products, especially around the eyes. Oil can break down the adhesive bond and shorten the lifespan of your extensions.
• Gentle cleansing: Use a specially formulated lash cleanser or oil-free makeup remover to gently clean your eye area.
• Skip the waterproof: Waterproof mascara can be tough to remove and might require harsh rubbing that can damage your extensions.

3. How long do eyelash extensions last?

Eyelash extensions typically last 2-3 weeks with proper care. However, your natural lash growth cycle plays a huge role in how long your extensions stay full. Touch-up appointments, called “fills,” are usually needed every 2-3 weeks to replace any shed lashes and maintain your luscious new look.

4. How do I care for my eyelash extensions?

Aftercare is essential for maximizing the lifespan of your extensions. Here’s the lowdown:

• Cleanse regularly: Use an oil-free lash cleanser every day to keep your lashes clean and healthy.
• Be gentle: Avoid rubbing, tugging, or pulling at your lashes.
• Brush it out: Use a lash brush (spoolie) to gently comb your extensions, keeping them tangle-free.
• Sleep smart: Try to sleep on your back to prevent friction and premature shedding.

5. Can I get eyelash extensions if I have sensitive eyes?

It’s possible, but proceed with caution! Always communicate any allergies or sensitivities with your lash technician during your consultation. They might recommend a patch test to ensure you react well to the adhesive. It’s also essential to choose a salon known for its expertise in handling sensitivities.
