Eyelash extensions are a popular means of boosting lash length, thickness, and volume
Eyelash extensions handmade are a popular means of boosting lash length, thickness, and volume. Here’s how they’re applied: Eyelashes are first separated into individual strands with a comb-like tool called an eyelash separator. Next, each lash strand is coated in a natural adhesive solution that allows it to adhere to another strand or extension using heat or pressure. Extensions can be made from human hair (typically from donors) or synthetic fibers such as mink fur or silk. The extensions are secured to your own lashes either individually or in clusters (known as clusters) by gluing them down at one end with an applicator brush and then pressing them onto the root of your own lashes along their length until they’re secured in place usually with an additional layer of glue directly over top of each extension so no gaps show through between them when viewed straight on at normal distance away from your face (i.e., not up close).
Lash extensions can be a wonderful way to upgrade your natural lashes
Lash extensions are a great way to add volume, length and color to your eyelashes. They can be applied on the upper or lower lashes, depending on how much you want to enhance your natural look, and they can be tinted to match your natural color or shaped to fit your eye shape.
Lash extensions can irritate the eyes
If you suffer from allergies, eyelash extensions may not be the best idea for you. The adhesive used to apply the extensions can cause irritation and redness of the eyes. This is because it’s applied directly to your skin and can get into your eyes if you rub them. If this happens, it could lead to more serious complications like swelling, itching and watering in both eyes.
People with sensitive eyes should be especially careful when getting eyelash extensions. It’s important to note that this risk only applies if you have an allergy or sensitivity toward glues used on eyelashes such as cyanoacrylate-based adhesives (superglue).
You must keep the area clean during treatment to avoid infection
During eyelash extension treatments, you should cleanse the area with a sterile saline solution. A cotton swab or cotton ball soaked in saline works well because it allows you to gently wipe away any excess glue while keeping the eye protected from infection. Wash your hands before and after using the solution, as well so bacteria don’t spread to other parts of your body.
Your lash artist should wear gloves while installing your extensions
Hygienic Eyelash Extensions can be a wonderful way to make your eyes look bigger and more awake, but it’s important that you know how to care for them properly. Your lash artist should wear gloves while installing your extensions. Gloves prevent the spread of infection from one person to another, as well as protect the lash artist from bacteria on your skin, which can cause eye infections. They also protect you from bacterial infections they might have picked up while working with other clients.
When all is said and done, your eyelash extensions should be a fun and safe experience. If you find yourself having any eye issues or other discomfort, contact your doctor immediately. You don’t want to let any problems go untreated!
