7 myths about eyelash extensions:

Updated: Oct 27, 2018



1.Eyelash extensions don’t ruin the natural lash


“The number one misconception is that they will ruin your own natural lash. This is false! It’s all about your lash stylist not adding lashes that are too heavy or too long for your natural lashes to handle

The correct amount of lash glue is also important, it should not be too much or clumpy.”


2. They last for awhile


While there’s no set rule for how long lash extensions will or will not last, factors like makeup and hair growth cycles effect the duration of peak wear.


“Typically, a client will come in for an eyelash extension fill every two to four weeks. If you don’t get a fill, the lash extensions will shed, one by one, with your natural lash cycle, and will all be gone in about six weeks or so


3. It’s no quick appointment


According to Amazing Lash Studio execs Jessica Le and My-Hang Do, a first installation for a full set of lashes takes 120 minutes, while refills take between 45-60 minutes.


4. They won’t inhibit daily activities


“You can shower, swim, exercise and sweat and they will stay intact. It's a common misconception that they are more temporary or that swimming and contact with water is prohibited,”

“There is a period immediately following application, for a day or two with most applications, that we recommend one avoids such things, but this time period is minimal and is worthwhile to ensure the longevity of wear, as it gives the adhesive proper time to cure.”


5. There’s some rules for upkeep…


After the lashes are on, you may have to filter through your cosmetic bag. Oil-based and water-proof cosmetics near the eyes are a no, as well as using lash curlers or heaters on the synthetic lash
