Thinking of getting an eyelash extension? THESE are the things you should keep in mind

If there’s one beauty trend that will never go out of fashion, it’s long, luscious lashes. Voluminous lashes here to stay! Because A good set of lashes are a real game changer – and they can instantly lift your entire look. They make our eyes look bigger and give it an appearance of wakefulness. Lash extensions are becoming popular with each passing day and we can totally see why! But before you invest in a pair of lash extensions, here are five things you need to know before you head to a salon. It’s an expensive, time-consuming process so make sure you know everything that’s there to know about it! 

1. It can be heavy on your pocket

Good quality lash extensions can be quite expensive. The lashes themselves usually last up to four weeks. You can get them refilled twice before you need to remove them completely. If a salon is offering a lower price, check the quality of the lashes before booking an appointment!

2. It’s a time consuming process

The process itself is quite uncomfortable and time consuming. A session usually takes anywhere around 90 minutes to 3 hours! If you have sensitive eyes, your eyes may water. And, you have to keep your eyes closed at all times!

3. All lashes do not look the same

The most common type of lash is a C-curl, which has a dramatic finish, whereas a J-curl lash is more natural-looking. There are also different lash materials such as faux mink, real mink, silk, and human hair. Real mink or faux mink lashes are the most common choices.

4. You will need to prep yourself before an appointment

You need to make sure your lashes haven’t been altered before the appointment, so avoid using an eyelash curler or waterproof mascara before the appointment. Don’t let your eyelashes come in contact with any moisture for at least 24 hours after the process.

5. You need to take proper care afterwards

When you have lash extensions, make sure that you’re extremely careful when you’re taking off makeup. Avoid rubbing and wetting your lashes, as they can fall out. Avoid oil-based cleansers too as the oil will loosen the adhesive glue, resulting in fallout. You shouldn’t sleep on your face either, as this will also disturb the setting of your lashes!
