What Types of Eyelash Extensions Are Out There?
There are several types of hairs used for extensions. There are faux mink lashes, Siberian mink and different blends offered in salons.
For those with very sparse lashes you can get a glamour lash look with a set of two lightweight extensions applied. The cost at a top-notch salon starts at about $200.00.
If you want a super thick look that gives the look of applied eyeliner you can get a triple application that gives density and fullness. The cost starts at around $300.00. Some salons offer five-layer extensions. Prepare to spend about $450 for those at the best salons.
Silk blend extensions are mixed with synthetic materials and give a glossy look. Pure synthetic eyelash extensions are the cheapest to apply. The silk blend or pure silk costs around $125.00.
Remember, when starting out with more expensive options, touch ups at the salon can be pricey.
What are the risks of getting eyelash extensions?
The general process should be painless. If you have sensitive eyes, be aware of the glue. You could be allergic. Fans are usually circulating in the treatment room due to the smell. Your eyes can water up through the process. Always do a test on one lash and let it sit for 24 hours or more to check for irritation. A good eyelash cosmetician will recommend this.
The Pros
The Cons
Maintenance
Check with the salon about when touch ups are needed. Some make it a point to charge for a full set after 4 weeks. Make sure to ask the salon what percentage of remaining lashes are included in a touch up.
Touches up requirements are based on the individual and how many lash layers were applied.
You must keep them clean. Oily skins will find that they don’t last as long because the oil glands around the eye tend to soften the chemicals used in the application procedure- the glue.
Undoubtedly, you should invest in eyelash maintenance products. You will need special foam cleansers like OcuSoft Foam Cleanser. It’s gentle and recommended by top salons. OcuSoft Lid Scrub helps remove oil and debris.
OrganicGreek natural eyelash growth serum promotes longer thicker lashes. It’s an excellent product to allow a thicker growth pattern when those falsies fall out. It’s a great find for those with thin lashes.
Stack up on disposable mascara wands- you know, the ones you get free at Sephora. Brushing lashes daily keeps dirt and grime out.
Should you desire to add more oomph with mascara, make sure its water based so when you remove it does not damage the lash extensions- but this is not recommended. You’re paying a lot of money “not” to wear mascara so avoid this at all costs.
Before you pretty little head hits that pillow, invest in a silk eye mask, and a silk pillowcase. It will help protect lashes from breaking into a not very gentle plain cotton pillowcase when tossing and turning. You can buy what’s called a folded foam one where your lash does not actually touch the mask completely. It allows for some room between the lash and the mask itself.
Most importantly, improperly trained salons and cosmetologists who place multiple lashes over the original lash without perfection in the procedure is endangering the health of your skin and eyes. Your natural lashes will grow out in different directions with improper procedures and will inhibit a delayed growth of the natural lash.
