How to Get the Most Out of Your Lash Extensions

Lash extensions are all the rage these days—and for good reason! They can take your look from "meh" to "wow" in no time. But if you've never had lash extensions before, the process can seem a bit daunting. How do you choose the right type of lash? How do you care for them? And how do you make them last?

Don't worry, we're here to help. In this blog post, we'll walk you through everything you need to know about lash extensions, from choosing the right type to caring for them properly. By the end, you'll be an expert on all things lashes!

Types of Lash Extensions

One of the first things you need to decide when getting lash extensions is what type of lash you want. There are two main types of lash extensions: synthetic and mink. Here's a quick rundown of each:

Synthetic Lashes: These are made from synthetic materials and come in a variety of colors, thicknesses, and lengths. Synthetic lashes are typically less expensive than mink lashes, but they also don't tend to last as long. However, they're a great option if you're on a budget or if you're new to lash extensions and want to try them out before making a bigger investment.

Mink Lashes: These are made from—you guessed it—mink fur. Mink lashes are lighter and more flexible than synthetic lashes, which makes them more comfortable to wear. They also tend to last longer than synthetic lashes—some people even get up to six weeks of wear out of them! However, they are more expensive than synthetic lashes and some people prefer not to wear animal products.

Once you've decided on the type of lash extension you want, it's time to choose the style! Lash extensions come in a variety of styles, from natural-looking ones that enhance your own lashes to more dramatic styles that give you a bolder look. You can also choose from a variety of colors, like black, brown, and even blue or green! Talk with your technician about the look you're going for before getting started.

The Lash Extension Process

Now that you know what kind of lash extension you want, it's time for the fun part—getting them installed! The lash installition process is generally pretty simple:

1) After cleansing your face and removing any makeup or oils around your eyes, your technician will measure your natural lashes and cut the extensions to size.

2) Next, they will glue individual lash extensions to each one of your natural lashes using tweezers. The glue used is specifically designed for lash extensions and will not damage your natural lashes.

3) Once all lash extensions have been applied, your technician will brush through them to ensure they're all pointing in the same direction and check for any gaps. If everything looks good, they'll apply a coat of sealant to hold the extensions in place and voila—you're done!
