Eyelash Extensions add length, darken and give fullness to natural eyelashes. Make eyes “pop” with the luscious effect and long lasting power of eyelash extensions. The revolutionary process adds single lashes to lashes to make eyes look bigger and dramatically more vibrant. This is unlike yesteryears false lashes, lash extensions are soft and natural like real eyelashes. Lash extensions instantly transform your eyes; no wonder celebrities have been applying eyelash extensions for years.

Typically synthetic single fiber polymer thread like material is applied to each individual eyelash to create thicker and longer look. Lash extension comes in many colors, shapes and sizes. Medical grade bonding agent ensure lasting durability and you can wear them any time, even while sleeping, showering and even when are swimming. Lashes are available in a variety of materials including human hair, synthetic fiber, silk and mink.

Eyelash strips, eyelash prongs or individual lash clusters are not “Eyelash Extensions." Eyelash extensions are individually applied to each natural lash. During the eyelash extension application the single synthetic lash is grafted to an individual natural lash one by one and takes about half an hour to two hours depending on the number of eyelashes applied.  A single natural eyelash is isolated by carefully separating the natural lashes with a fine point tweezer to reveal a single eyelash and a synthetic lash is glued to the top of the natural eyelash approximately 1mm from the eyelid so neither the glue or the lash has contact with the skin. They have a natural looking curve so there is no need to use eyelash curlers. Lashes come in J-Curl, C-Curl and B-curl shapes. The J-Curl lashes are shaped like a J. The B-Curl are a natural curl lash and the C are the most curly available.

The expected life of eyelash extension is two weeks to two months and it depends on the cycle of hair growth. With monthly fills clients can keep them for years. Most people prefer black color lashes for their eyelash extensions. Glossy mink fur eyelashes give the eyes a lush and velvet-like look. Eyelash extensions have been used since the late 1990s, used mostly by fashion models and celebrities such as Nicole Kidman, Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson, Megan fox, Salma Hayek, and Angelina Jolie.

Eyelash extensions require professional application to ensure the best finish, by blending the lash extensions evenly with your natural eyelashes using professional techniques and products. Mascara is not needed with extensions. However, if the client must have the mascara look, only extension mascara can be used on the tips after the clear coating sealer. Waterproof mascara along with any type of oil based mascara will dissolve the bonding agent and cause the extensions to fall out.

The best thing about this eyelash extensions is that eyelashes look real and natural it is not noticeable that it not your own.  You can take make-up application to a whole new level with eyelash extensions. Eyeliner makes a difference, mascara makes a difference, but longer fuller lashes takes the overall look to a new level of framing and emphasizing eyes and creating the dramatic “wow” factor.
