Eyelash extensions: experts names pros and cons of the procedure and explains whether it harms real ones

Eyelash extensions have long been a popular beauty procedure. It allows you to create an expressive and attractive look without the daily use of mascara.

However, it has its pros and cons, which should be considered before deciding to do it or not. Clementina Richardson, an eyelash expert, talks about them in more detail.

Pros

Time saving

If you're used to curling your eyelashes first, then applying mascara and combing them, eyelash extensions will save you 20-30 minutes of your life every day.

Also, you may not have to do eye makeup at all anymore. Eyelash extensions will always make your eyes look fresh and open.

More possibilities

No matter what mascara you use, your lashes will always look about the same. But if you decide to extend them, you can emphasize length or density, etc. This way you will achieve a more distinct result.

Saved makeup

Probably every woman has been in a situation when mascara has smudged and left dirty traces on the eyelids. Thanks to extensions, you will forget about this problem.

Cons

Price

Any service and cosmetic procedure needs regular monetary investments. In the case of false eyelashes, you will have to pay for their correction every two to three weeks.

Care

There are specific rules for the care of false eyelashes, which must be observed to ensure the health of your natural eyelashes, as well as not to spoil the look of artificial ones. For example, they should be cleaned and brushed daily with a small brush. And you will also have to give up oil-based eye makeup remover.

Habit revision

If you have grown eyelashes, you will have to give up some old habits. For example, you will no longer be allowed to rub your eyes.

Do eyelash extensions harm your real eyelashes?

According to dermatologist Melanie Palm, sometimes extensions can disrupt the natural growth cycle of eyelashes. Because of this, the hair may later grow back stiffer and thinner than before. In addition, the glue used to attach the eyelashes can cause irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin.

However, if you adhere to all recommendations for the care of eyelashes and find a professional and experienced master, all possible negative consequences of the procedure can be minimized.
