Individual Eyelash Extensions

The newest trend in beauty is getting individual eyelash extensions for a new and sexy look. If nature hasn’t gifted you with long curly eyelashes, then you’re probably always looking for ways to make your eyes look more sensual. The newest beauty treatment tendency is getting natural extensions. No more plastic, fake eyelashes that you can get at the dollar store and that will fall off in minutes. Get natural extensions and your eyes will look their best for months!

Let’s first understand what individual eyelash extensions are. In a nutshell, you will be getting longer eyelashes attached to your original ones, one by one. You will get different lengths of lashes, so that they look natural. These should last anywhere between two weeks and two months and will fall off once your natural lashes fall out.

When getting individual eyelash extensions you can choose the material they’re made of, like mink or silk, and the color and the thickness. Usually, you will get between 30 and 80 new lashes glued to your own, and the procedure takes up to two hours. You have no restrictions on what you can do with your new lashes on, meaning sleeping, bathing or others, but you should be careful with any oils applied to your eyes as they may weaken the glue that binds your extensions to your own lashes.

Where can you get these individual eyelash extensions? You should go to a specialized salon with certified professionals only. The procedure is usually done in a special room and basically all you have to do is sit down and relax. It’s preferable that you come to the salon without any makeup on. You will be listening to some relaxing music as it’s best not to make conversation with your beautician during the procedure, so that she can be 100% focused on applying the extensions.

What’s the procedure like? What does it actually entail?

First of all, you will have a consultation session prior to getting the individual eyelash extensions. The beautician will talk to you about your preferences and will explain the procedure to you so that you know what to expect. She will also tell you about maintenance.

Then you will settle into the comfortable couch and simply relax. The technician will clean your eyes and your lashes and apply some vitamin-rich eye pads on both the top and lower lashes to keep them from sticking to each other.

The eyelash extensions will be cleaned individually and prepared for joining your own. The beautician will use two sets of tweezers to separate the lashes and glue each new one to your eyelash. She will be working on both eyes at the same time, making sure the end result is balanced and you have an even number of lashes on each eye. Occasionally, she will use an air puffer to speed the gluing process. At the end she will apply clear mascara to help the glue bond and protect your new eyelashes. If you fall in love with your new lashes and want to keep them permanently, all you have to do is go to the salon every couple of weeks for a touch up session.

Are these extensions damaging to your natural lashes?

The beauticians never touch your actual lid or the root of your lashes with the glue. Your own eyelashes cannot be damaged therefore, as they aren’t pulled out.  All the products are natural so you don’t have to worry about any type of damage, like you would get if you were getting hair extensions.

What are the most important things you should avoid doing after getting the extensions?

You shouldn’t be rubbing your eyes, or use cotton to clean your eye makeup, as the cotton pieces may get stuck to your lashes and eventually cause them to fall off. You should also avoid sleeping on your face or with a mask. And you shouldn’t wear mascara, but you don’t need it anymore after all!

Why should you get individual eyelash extensions?

The extensions feel natural, soft, light, yet fuller, longer and more defined. You no longer have to wear mascara, or worry about removing it in the evenings. Your eyes will have a sexy, diva-like look all day and night long.

Therefore, if you’re looking for ways of making yourself look like a Hollywood star, if you want to have sexy eyes without any makeup, then get individual eyel
