Lash Like a Boss: Everything You Need to Know About Eyelash Extensions

Eyelash extensions are more than just a beauty trend—they’re a confidence boost, a time-saver, and a way to wake up looking effortlessly put together. But if you're new to lash extensions, you probably have questions. How do they work? Are they safe? What kind of maintenance do they need? 

Let’sl break down everything you need to know about lash extensions.

What Are Eyelash Extensions?

Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent fibers attached to your natural lashes using a special adhesive. Unlike strip lashes or mascara, extensions provide a fuller, longer look without daily application. Skilled lash artists handmake each fan for a customized style that suits every client’s unique eye shape and preferences.

How Long Do Eyelash Extensions Last?

Lash extensions typically last between two to six weeks, depending on your natural lash growth cycle and aftercare routine. Regular refills every two to three weeks help maintain their fullness. Proper care, such as avoiding excessive moisture and oil-based products, extends their longevity.

Are Eyelash Extensions Safe?

When applied by trained professionals, lash extensions are completely safe. High-quality, tested adhesives are used to check that they are gentle on natural lashes. Lash artists are trained to apply extensions with precision, providing a comfortable experience and natural lash health.

What Types of Lash Extensions Are Available?

Lash extensions come in different materials, lengths, and styles. Some popular options include:

• Classic Lashes: One extension is applied to each natural lash for a subtle, mascara-like effect.

• Hybrid Lashes: A mix of classic and volume lashes, offering a fuller look with added texture.

• Volume Lashes: Handmade fans of multiple extensions are applied to each lash, creating a dramatic, fluffy effect.

• Mega Volume Lashes: Ultra-lightweight fans create the fullest, boldest look possible.

Each set is tailored to the client’s eye shape, lash health, and personal style.

How to Care for Your Lash Extensions

Proper aftercare keeps your extensions fresh and lasts longer. For the first 24 hours after application, keep your lashes dry to allow the adhesive to fully cure. Exposure to water or steam can weaken the bond, leading to premature shedding. Avoid oil-based skincare and makeup removers, as they can break down the adhesive and cause extensions to fall out sooner.

Brushing your lashes daily with a clean spoolie helps keep them neat and prevents tangling. Be gentle and avoid pulling or tugging, as excessive friction can weaken your natural lashes. When sleeping, try to rest on your back or use a silk pillowcase to reduce pressure on your extensions.

Regular refills are required to maintain a full, polished look. Since natural lashes shed over time, booking a touch-up every two to three weeks helps replace lost extensions and keeps your lashes looking fresh.
