Are you a fan of lashes? Or maybe lash extensions? Women love to emphasize them in different ways and through different makeup looks and eyelash treatments. Keep reading and figure out some new and fun facts about lashes that you probably didn’t know. 

Long, thick, and full eyelashes are desired by many women and are often seen on the pages of many beauty magazines. Unfortunately, we are not all genetically blessed with perfect lashes, and although it might seem hard to believe, many models and celebrities also belong in this category. You might wonder “how come these beautiful people seemingly have perfect lashes?”

You probably have at least one friend who has dramatically told her horror story about her experience with eyelash extensions. If you’ve been holding off on getting extensions because of what you’ve heard, read up. Chances are, you’ve fallen victim to one of many myths about extensions.

1. Eyelash extensions are not “one size fits all”. Everyone’s lashes are different and eyelash extensions should be customized to each individual for the correct length and thickness to suit their look and ensure the health of their natural lashes. Not everyone can or should get super long or super thick eyelash extensions!

Eyelash extensions are a popular beauty treatment, but they’re also a commitment. If you want your extensions to look their best and last as long as possible, you must prepare for the appointment. Here are eight tips on how to get ready for your appointment.

What’s great about eyelash extensions?

When applied by a skilled lash artist, extensions can make your eyes look naturally glorious. They look a lot more real than ordinary false eyelashes. That’s because standard false lashes come attached, all in a row, on a foundational strip, which is simply glued to the lash line.

Looking to lash out? The desire for longer, thicker lashes is one that many women (and men) share. Whether your goal is to create a more dramatic look, or just to enhance what you already have, there are plenty of ways to get the results you want. To help you out, we’ve compiled a list of the ultimate guide to achieve drool-worthy-lashes.

Eyelash extensions aren’t difficult to look after necessarily but there are few aftercare points to be aware of:

You can’t get the extensions wet for 24 hours or be near anything particularly hot

To enable the glue to set properly, you can’t get your eyelash extensions wet, such as having a shower, or be near anything hot, such as opening an oven and letting your face be near hot steam for 24 hours after getting your eyelashes done. It’s not a big deal but something to be aware of.

Eyelash extensions are the beauty girl hack that saves you minutes in your daily makeup routine and stops you from having to sneak to the bathroom in the morning after an ~adult sleepover~ to re-mascara, so you can bat your lashes and make them fall in love with you all over again.

But what happens during an eyelash extension treatment? Does it hurt? How long do they last? And is it even worth it?
