Hello lashistas! Today we are going to talk about some false myths surrounding the world of eyelash extensions. These myths may have been the reason why you have been hesitating to give this fabulous treatment a try. But don't worry! Here we debunk those false rumors so you can make your decision with confidence. 👁️✨
Eyelash extensions damage natural eyelashes
False. Eyelash extensions applied by a good professional will not damage your natural lashes. At Una de las Nuestras, we teach a technique that respects the natural growth cycle of your lashes. We choose the right weight for your lashes, preventing them from sticking together or to the eyelid. So you can show off beautiful lashes without worries. 💁♀️
When it comes to the health of your natural lashes, it's essential to find a qualified technician who uses quality products and follows best practices. With proper care, extensions can be a safe way to enhance your beauty without affecting the health of your natural lashes.
You can't wash your face or wet your eyelashes.
False: Of course you can get your extensions wet! You can shower, go to the beach or the gym without any worries. We just recommend avoiding getting them wet for the first 24 hours so that the adhesive dries properly. Afterwards, you're ready to enjoy your activities without limits! 🌊🏋️♀️
Make sure to use gentle, eyelash extension-specific cleansing products. Avoid rubbing your eyes vigorously and be gentle when cleaning the eye area to keep your extensions looking their best for longer.
The volume is very artificial
False. There are various types of volume, lengths, curls and thicknesses. All of these, combined with the amount of hair you have, can offer very natural results. The volume is tailored to your preferences if the extensions are applied by a trained professional. So, choose the style that suits you best! 💫
During your consultation with your lash extensions technician, you can discuss your preferences and desired style. An experienced technician will know how to tailor volume and style to achieve the look you desire, whether that's a natural, subtle look or more dramatic, eye-catching volume.
Extensions are not washed
False: It is essential to keep your extensions clean for good eye hygiene. You can use a suitable water-based or soap-based extension cleanser. Avoid oily products and make sure to keep that area spotless at all times. 🧼✨
Washing your extensions regularly not only maintains good hygiene, but also helps prolong their durability. A clean area prevents the buildup of debris and bacteria, which can affect the health of your eyes and the appearance of your extensions.
Getting eyelash extensions is painful
False: Quite the opposite, the process is relaxing and many clients even fall asleep during the application. Just relax and enjoy your time while your lashes are transformed. 💆♀️💤
The process of applying eyelash extensions is gentle and should not cause pain if performed by a professional. In fact, many people find the time in the treatment room to be a relaxing time, where they can unwind and rest while their lashes are being beautified.
You can't put on makeup
False: Of course you can wear makeup! Use powder eyeshadows, liquid eyeliners, and non-oily products. Avoid oil-based products and mascara. With extensions, you'll look freshly made up every day. 💄✨
With eyelash extensions, you can enjoy the convenience of having beautiful lashes without the need to apply mascara every day. Plus, by not having to deal with mascara, your extensions can last longer without requiring frequent touch-ups.
