Permanent Eyelash Extensions

Nothing makes your eyes look bigger, brighter and more beautiful than full, long eyelashes. Few of us are blessed with thick lengthy lashes, but fake eyelashes are difficult to apply and they look – well, fake. Permanent eyelash extensions are a blessing for anyone wanting lashes that look fabulous, even without mascara.

Because eyelashes naturally fall out and regrow in cycles of between 3 and 6 weeks, we never really have all our eyelashes at one time. Permanent eyelash extensions are like hair extensions. They look and feel like natural eyelashes, but they are in fact fake individual eyelashes that are bonded onto existing lashes to extend them and make them appear fuller. Eyelash extensions are more permanent than fake eyelashes, but when the natural lash falls out in its natural cycle, the extension does too. Permanent eyelash extensions will therefore require touch ups every three to four weeks to compensate for the lashes lost in the natural shedding cycle.

Permanent Eyelash Extensions – The Natural Look

Permanent Eyelash Extensions are applied by a technician in a beauty salon, using special adhesive to bond the extensions to the natural lashes. The extensions are made from silk, man made materials and sometimes mink. They are available in different lengths and thicknesses, so you can choose to extend and thicken your existing lashes, or just fill in the gaps in your natural lashes. Lash extensions are available in different colours so you can match your natural lashes, or in bright colours like blue and green for a more dramatic effect.

The extensions are strong but flexible, and so light they are almost weightless. They look natural and feel natural, just thicker, longer and fuller. Eyelash extensions are good for allergy sufferers, as the adhesive is applied to the extension and the natural hair, not touching the skin of the eyelid at all. Medical grade adhesive can be used if there are any concerns about allergies.

Many people find that they no longer need mascara with permanent eyelash extensions, but if you do feel you need to wear some, make sure that it is not waterproof mascara. The oil-based removers for waterproof mascara can loosen the bond. You should not rub your eyes, as this can break the bond, but other than these precautions you will find permanent eyelash extensions relatively maintenance-free.

Permanent Eyelash Extensions For Special Occasions

Permanent eyelashes are ideal for special occasions like weddings, allowing you to look fabulous on your big day and through your honeymoon without having to worry about mascara. They are waterproof, so you can swim and gym without concern.

Permanent eyelash extensions are useful for all women who want their lashes to look fuller and longer, but are of immense benefit to women who have especially short lashes or have suffered hair loss from illness or disease. Fuller lashes make your eyes look bigger, brighter and more beautiful – what more could you ask for?
