Published on August 26, 2019, eyelash extensions have become a staple in the beauty industry, with many women opting for this treatment to enhance their natural look.
However, before you book that appointment, it's essential to know the facts. From application time to risks involved, here are six things you need to know before getting eyelash extensions.
1. Application Time ¶
Application time for eyelash extensions can take anywhere from one to two hours, depending on the salon and the technician's experience.
2. Pain Level ¶
The application process is generally painless, with some women experiencing slight discomfort during the first few applications.
3. Longevity ¶
With proper care, eyelash extensions can last for more than a month. However, using water-based and oil-based products can weaken the glue bond, causing them to fall out.
4. Risks Involved ¶
Like any beauty treatment, eyelash extensions come with their own set of risks, including the risk of losing eyelashes due to constant application and removal, allergic reactions to the glue, and eye infections.
5. Customization ¶
There are various types of eyelash extensions available, including different lengths, thicknesses, and materials, such as mink, silk, and faux lashes.
6. Alternatives ¶
For those who are not keen on individual lash extensions, which can cost up to Sh5,000, consider getting strip lash extensions, which are more convenient and cost-effective.
