Let’s Debunk Some Myths on Lash Extensions

Lash extensions have become a big beauty trend lately and we totally understand! After all, they make your eyes pop without needing mascara. But, like many trends, there are a lot of myths about them. So, let’s set the record straight on some common misconceptions.

Myth #1: Lash Extensions Damage Your Real Lashes

Fact: If a skilled professional puts them on, lash extensions won’t harm your real lashes. The trick is picking the right type for your natural lashes and making sure the technician uses the correct glue. If your lashes are delicate, heavy extensions can be bad for them. The secret: Always go to someone who knows their stuff.

Myth #2: All Lash Extensions Look Fake 

Fact: Lash extensions can look as natural or as flashy as you like. There are many options in size, fullness, and shape. Pick what suits you best.

Myth #3: Putting Lash Extensions On Hurts

Fact: If done correctly, getting lash extensions should be easy and pain-free. You might feel them being put on, but it shouldn't hurt. If it does, something might be wrong.

Myth #4: You Shouldn’t Get Lash Extensions Wet

Fact: You should avoid getting them wet for the first day to let the glue dry properly. After that, you can and should clean them to keep them looking good and staying healthy.

Myth #5: Lash Extensions Need Lots of Upkeep

Fact: They do need some care, but it's not too hard. Stay away from oily products near your eyes and give them a gentle comb with a brush daily. And remember, like real lashes, extensions don’t last forever. So, you might need touch-ups every few weeks.

Myth #6: It's Okay to Use Mascara on Lash Extensions

Fact: You can, but it’s usually better not to. Especially avoid oil-based or waterproof mascaras because they can weaken the glue. And, since lash extensions already give a full look, many people skip the mascara.

Myth #7: Anyone Can Put On Lash Extensions

Fact: There are kits you can buy, but putting on lash extensions well takes skill. It’s always best to see a trained and experienced person to make sure you get the best results and avoid any issues.
