👀Eyelashes - extensions, eyelash lift, curling

An eyelashes or simply lash is one of the hairs that grows at the edge of the eyelid. It grows in three layers on the edge of the eyelids. Eyelashes protect the eye from debris, dust and small particles, thus providing a warning that an object (such as an insect) is near the eye (which then closes reflexively).

What are eyelash extensions?

Unlike gluing a strip of temporary fake eyelashes onto your lash line, semipermanent lashes are applied by a technician who hand-glues the eyelash extensions on top of your natural lashes. Because eyelash extensions don’t come in a strip, they are super customizable and actually look real. With proper care (more on that install Eyelashes - extensions, eyelash lift, curling), they can last for six to eight weeks until they naturally fall out like your lashes usually do.

What is a eyelash Lift?

A eyelash lift curls your lash from base to tip so that you can see the full length. All eyelashes have a natural shape to them, so this process alters that shape via a tiny curling rod and a lifting solution. (It’s not as scary as it sounds, as your eyes are closed as it’s applied but yes, there are some chemicals involved.) The treatment should always be performed by a licensed professional.

Are eyelash serum safe?

If you are considering using any eyelash growth serum the experts we spoke to recommended checking with your GP beforehand.

Why would anyone get an eyelash perm?

Call it an optical illusion: Upturned eyelashes look longer than very straight ones. Putting a kink at the lashline of your fringe not only grants you fuller, longer-looking lashes; it helps you fake a wide-eyed doe look, too.

Whether you achieve the effect through the wave of your eyelash curling wand or an eyelash perm, however, comes down to your personal preference for convenience and safety.

Are Magnetic eyelash Safe?

Once you discover how easy they are to apply and you see how good they look on, you’ll want to wear ’em every single day—but please don’t. “I’d recommend limiting the use of the magnetic eyelash that sandwich your own natural eyelashes to avoid the potential of lash damage and traction alopecia,". Oh, and don’t try them for the first time right before a big event, since there’s always the potential for contact dermatitis or allergy to the product itself, she adds, in which case you should stop using them ASAP.
