Eyelash Extensions: How To Care For Them?
If your dream is ever to wake up in the morning with long, thick, dark, and feather-filled eyelashes without the occasional tugging, tangling, and tearing on your mascara, you have probably at least thought about semi-permanent eyelash extensions. Are they worth it? Semi-permanent extensions are only good for a handful of months before they need to be removed, but they are so easy to remove that many women decide to hold out until their eyelash extensions are ready for removal. What are eyelash extensions safe for your eyelashes?
It’s important to realize that no two women have the same eyelash growth cycle. Some girls start with naturally longer and fuller lashes, while others start with sparse lashes. The makeup you wear during this time will affect how much your eyelash extensions last, so it’s best to use natural mascara that contains fewer harsh chemicals than older brands. Also, keep in mind that you are using an intense brand of makeup that contains strong concentrations of eyelash extensions chemicals. If you wear water-based makeup, make sure to use it only once or twice a day, as makeup that is applied wet is more likely to irritate your lashes than makeup that is applied dry.
Choice
As far as eye makeup goes, your safest choices are water-based eyelash extensions and mineral makeup. Water-based makeup does not contain irritating chemicals and is unlikely to irritate. Mineral makeup is generally hypoallergenic, although some brands may cause redness, stinging, or burning. It is also a good idea to apply eyeliner to your upper and lower eyelashes to give them a nice long-lasting effect. If you are using eyelash extensions and you experience any irritation, stop using them and contact your eyelash extensions manufacturer right away.
After your eyelash extensions are applied, you should follow up with a good quality mascara. There are several mascaras on the market and you can easily select the one that suits you best from the shelf. Make sure to choose a mascara that lengthens your lashes as well as being long-lasting. You will notice that after your first few nights of wearing mascara, your eyelashes look artificial, and they are not natural enough to your eyes. This may be one of the main reasons why you want to find a good lash expert to help you apply mascara.
Damage
The other major cause of eyelash extension damage is rubbing the lashes against the eyelids. It can be tempting to rub the lashes against your eyes, but this can result in eyelash breakage. Eyelash rubbing is a common problem among women who are new at extensions. Most women do not put on eye makeup before they go to bed. This means that they are more susceptible to eyelash breaking or tearing.
Another major cause of eyelash extensions damage is incorrect applying of the makeup. Beginners are prone to apply too much of the makeup and this can result in excess curl. If you are trying to apply false eyelashes and the curl is not thick or is too heavy, you are likely to rip the extension. You should also be careful when you are curling your lashes and you should take extra care when you are curling the false curls.
Mascara
If you are wearing mascara for the first time, you should buy a new type of mascara that is designed to last longer. Mascara that is designed for longer-lasting eyelash extensions lasts longer when you are wearing them. To prolong the life of the mascara, you should only apply the mascara after you have removed your eyelashes. Once you have removed your eyelashes, you should allow the mascara to dry so that it does not get into your pores and cause damage to your extensions.
Eyelash extensions can last from four to six months. However, many professional eyelash extensions stylists will advise their clients to keep their lashes attached for up to twelve months to achieve the best results. Whichever process you choose, you must be always sure that you are following the correct procedure as well as any instructions given by your lash extensions stylist.…
