Myths about eyelash extensions

Even though eyelash extensions have been popular for quite some time, there is still a lot of misconceptions and misinformation about the procedure. Therefore, today our topic is myths about eyelash extensions.

You probably have at least one friend who told a dramatic horror story about her experience with eyelash extensions. If you decided to postpone the eyelashes of your dreams precisely because of what you heard, I advise you to read our today's article. Most likely, you have fallen victim to one of the many myths about extensions.

Myth 1: Your own lashes will fall out after extensions.

I don't want to disappoint you, but your eyelashes will fall out anyway. :) True, this will happen not at all through the fault of the build-up. Our natural lashes fall out and renew themselves every four to six weeks, just like our scalp hair.

So why do some people think that eyelashes fall out because of extensions? Perhaps this is because natural lashes are more easily noticed when they are glued to long, thick, synthetic, black fibers, and people do not realize that this is the result of a natural process, not an extension.

Myth 2: Your eyelashes will never grow back.

Don't worry, it's not. During the lash renewal cycle, new natural hairs are constantly growing, which is why extensions have to be corrected. If eyelash extensions really became the reason that natural cilia stopped growing , then the correction would be simply impossible, because there would be nothing to glue the material on.

Myth 3: Eyelash extensions are painful

Not true. And even that friend who told horrors about the consequences of the procedure will confirm this to you. :) And it's not a matter of tolerance level; in the process of eyelash extensions, there is simply no place for pain. Instead, you will feel the urge to take a short nap while sitting comfortably on the couch, which is what many clients do. :)

Myth 4: Frequent eyelash extensions cause vision loss.

If you do not build up with an intern somewhere in the basement, but trust yourself to an experienced master, then you should not worry too much about your health. Eyelash extensions do not affect vision in any way, since the eyelash is attached not to the mucous membrane of the eyelid, but to a natural eyelash with a slight indentation.

However, if the hands of the master do not grow from the right place, and artificial eyelashes are attached to the skin, this can provoke a negative reaction in the form of an allergy or irritation of the mucous membrane of the eye, and this may already be reflected in the state of vision.

Myth 5: After you stop extensions, your natural lashes will become shorter.

Eyelash extensions do not interfere with the natural hair growth cycle. However, at the same time, many girls feel that natural eyelashes subsequently become thinner or shorter. But this is, in fact, just an optical illusion.

You are used to waking up every day with thicker, darker, curlier, longer lashes. Therefore, your own cilia, in comparison, seem completely unattractive to you. However, over time, you will get used to it, or else you will run to do extensions again. :)

Myth 6: You should take a break between treatments.

Many girls think that every few months you need to take a break from eyelash extensions to allow natural eyelashes to “breathe”. However, this idea is yet another myth.

As in the case of nails, the visible part of the eyelashes is already dead cells, which are not at all aware that you are building something up on them. And even more so, they do not require you to go out to breathe, or drink an oxygen cocktail. :) Therefore, whether or not to take a break in eyelash extensions is a matter of personal preferences of the client.

Myth 7: Eyelash extensions take a very long time.

How long the eyelash extension procedure lasts depends on the professionalism of the master. The procedure can actually seem like an eternity if the master is just starting to grow eyelashes, is inexperienced, or not trained. However, professionals who fully specialize in extensions can beautify your eyelashes from scratch in just an hour.

And if even after reading today's article you do not dare to make extensions, then the "Pilochka" service will be happy to help you make eyelash lamination in Kiev, which will help emphasize the natural beauty of your eyes. Be healthy and beautiful! :)
