Lash extensions are temporary textures that are affixed to the natural lashes. This makes the eyelash fringe look extended, darker, and fuller. Individual eyelash extensions are fixed to both your natural individual eyelashes one per natural lash, with the help of a semi-permanent adhesive.
The lash material is different in every studio, however, eyelash extensions could be prepared with mink, silk, synthetic, or faux mink fibers. Lashify eyelash extensions give you options for various curl patterns, extension lengths, and hues for clients to customize their look.
The Application Process at Lashify Eyelash Extensions
Eyelash extensions are applied one after the other wielding a specially-formulated glue that is semi-permanent and will not infuriate or harm the natural lashes. The eyelash extension is applied to the existing lash and never to the skin. The actual process is different from one salon to the other salon, here’s what you usually can expect.
- Any eye conditions you might have which could make the extensions problematic for you should be discussed with the lash artist. They also request you to remove any contacts if you are wearing them.
- Agree on the curl strength and the extension length
- They will cleanse the area around the eyes to remove any oil, germs, and makeup from around the area. It’s better if you come makeup-free for the appointment.
- A tape is then applied on both sides of the eye. This tape doesn’t reach the lashes, nor does it hurt when it’s removed afterward.
Application
With the help of tweezers, the lash artist dips the edge of every extension in the glue and then applies it to every individual lash. In almost all cases, a single lash extension is applied on every natural lash, nonetheless, eyelash extensions with more volume and thickness require more extensions on every individual natural eyelash.
This application is not painful at all, although you might feel uneasy having tweezers employed so near to the eyes especially while they are closed.
Waiting for it to dry completely
The lash adhesive dries very soon, however, the lash artist will most likely make you sit around for at least a couple of minutes until and unless all of the lash extensions are completely applied. A few lash artists prefer to hold a handheld fan to dry your lash extensions. This can expedite the drying time drastically, while a few others like to let the adhesive air dry. All through this phase, your eyes are closed.
The final step is removing the tape
When your lash extensions are entirely dry, the lash artist will go on to remove the tape and gels. This process is harmless and it doesn’t hurt or damage at all, however, you must let the lash professional understand if you are inclined to experience sensitivity around this area. This will help them practice more caution. When it is removed, the lash artist will most likely brush and comb through the lash extensions with a spoolie, and then you are asked to open your eyes gently. Et voila!
