Lashes can change the way you look completely. By adding tabs, you can upgrade that simple look to a glamorous one. Having extensions can help our natural lashes look fuller, something that not even mascara can help you achieve. Extensions enhance the thickness, fullness and length of the lashes.
There are all kinds of lashes available today and you can choose human, synthetic, silk or mink hair. The popularity of eyelashes has been growing every day and women are looking for a longer lasting option that doesn’t have to be applied every day.
You have to ask yourself how far you are willing to go to get those fuller lashes and if they are really worth it. There are a few things you need to know if you want extensions.

Types
There are different types of lashes available in the market today, as described above. In general, mink is softer, feather-like and lightweight, so it looks natural. The only drawback is the cost. It is still possible to customize silk and synthetic extensions to save money and achieve a more natural look. You can also choose the density, length and curls.

use them
To put the extensions, you will have to glue them with a semi-permanent glue, one after another. This is ideally done with the eyes closed so that the glue does not get into the eyes. Because we all understand how sensitive eyes are, you need to consider the type of glue you use. It makes sense to stay away from glues that contain formaldehyde. Also, be careful because the substance can accumulate during shipping.

The process
The whole process of gluing the lashes has to be painless. If you experience any discomfort or burning sensation, you should stop the process and find out why this is happening. It may be necessary to change the glue because you could be allergic to some of the ingredients. You may also have an infection. The technician should be in a position to tell you what the problem is and fix it.

glued
Extensions are usually glued to the natural lashes and therefore can last as long as the natural lashes are in place. This means that you will have the extension to the natural fall. This happens in about 6 to 8 weeks. You can have the extensions done again after four weeks for a fresh look.
-
Washed
When you do your lashes, you should try as much as possible not to get them wet for about 12-24 hours. This is to prevent weakening of the adhesive. When the glue used is directed at people with sensitive eyes, stay away from oil-based makeup removers or products around that area.
-
Mask
You are free to apply a little bit of mascara on the extension tips. This should be done as lightly as possible. Do not use the mascara at the base because it could make clumps.
You should have a qualified technician do the lashes to avoid damaging them.
