Lash extensions are a great way to wake up with flawless semi-permanent lashes every day without the inconvenience of false lashes or mascara. Lash extensions are individual semi-permanent false lashes that are attached to your natural lashes. The procedure usually takes around 45 minutes and uses an eye-safe glue to attach the lashes to your natural lashes. Over the course of 4-8 weeks, the glue wears off.
A variety of extension lengths, curl paterns and tints can be used to customize your look. There are different materials used for lashes but mink and silk often give a more naturial look. Lashes are applied one at a time using the specially formulated glue affixing the extension to the existing lash and not the skin.
Your look can be completely customizable depending on what you are wanting. You can be as natural or as dramatic as you want to be! Lash extensions are virtually waterproof. You should not get them wet for the first 48 hours but after that, swim, shower and sweat all you want!
Although most agree that it is a safe procedure, there are risks of infection and irritation.
