Eyelash extensions have become increasingly popular, but with their rise, several myths and misconceptions have also emerged. Let’s debunk some of the most common myths about eyelash extensions to help you make an informed decision on whether they are right for you and your lifestyle!
Myth 1: Eyelash Extensions Damage Your Natural Lashes
Many people believe that eyelash extensions cause damage to their natural lashes. However, when applied correctly by a professional, extensions do not harm your natural lashes. Proper aftercare and avoiding tugging or pulling on the extensions are crucial to maintaining the health of your natural lashes. If applied correctly and looked after in the right way lash extensions can actually be better for your lashes than treatments such as a lash lift or even strip lashes.
Myth 2: Lash Extensions Look Unnatural
Some fear that lash extensions will look too dramatic or unnatural. In reality, lash extensions come in various lengths, thicknesses, and styles. A skilled technician can customise the look to match your desired outcome, whether it's a subtle enhancement or a more glamorous appearance.
Myth 3: Eyelash Extensions Are High Maintenance
While eyelash extensions do require some care, they are not as high maintenance as many believe. Simple steps like avoiding oil-based products, not rubbing your eyes, and using protective items such as Lash Goggles help keep your extensions looking their best for longer. Who wouldn't choose a one hour lash refill every month over putting on pesky mascara every morning!
Myth 4: You Can’t Get Eyelash Extensions Wet
It's a common myth that you must avoid water entirely with eyelash extensions. While it's true that you should avoid getting them wet for the first 24-48 hours to allow the adhesive to set, after this period, regular washing is necessary to keep them clean and prevent infections. Whilst you can get them wet you do want to avoid water on them when you are not intentionally washing your lashes and to dry them fully straight after washing.
Eyelash extensions, when applied and maintained properly, can enhance your natural beauty without causing damage or requiring excessive upkeep. By debunking these myths, we hope to provide a clearer understanding of what to expect with eyelash extensions. Always goes to an experienced professional and ensure that your aftercare is as it should be and you can enjoy lash extensions and healthy lashes!
