Tips on applying eyelashes extensions

Applying eyelashes extensions can be a challenging task and it is best performed by professionals who are experienced and certified to apply these extensions. The process consists of applying a single false lash onto a single lash of the eye. There is a space of about 1 – 2 mm left between the root of the eyelash and the artificial eyelash. Before being applied, the lashes are usually bent and flexed so that they get some flexibility before being applied.

One important point to be noted is that the extensions should be chosen and applied with careful selection. They should not end up looking too long or too small. The next step is the application of the glue and one should take care not to apply too much glue or too little glue. If too much glue is applied on to the extensions then they might not stick properly onto the lashes and if too little is applied then they will simply come off. Also care should be taken to see that the glue does not in any way come into contact with the eye as it may be detrimental for your eyes.

After the glue has been applied, the extensions are to be applied on the lashes and held in place for a few seconds to help them grip the lashes and stick to them. If you are applying the eyelashes extensions by yourself, then you can apply a bit of mascara which will help in holding the lashes in place.

Removing the eyelashes extensions is also a process that needs patience and care. Since the extensions are applied with glue, they should never be pulled off when trying to remove them. If they are pulled, one could end up losing their own eyelashes. The easiest way to remove eyelashes extensions is by using wet bit of cotton wool bud.

The cotton wool is soft and making it wet helps to rub off the glue gently. The wool needs to be stroked on the extensions till they begin to come off. The process should be continued with gentle strokes of the wool till the lashes come completely loose. Using this process may require patience but it protects one’s own eyelashes and saves the extensions from being damaged.

Cleaning the lashes after removing them and keeping them for future use is also important. The eyelashes extensions should never be cleaned in a rough manner. Instead simply placing them in a bowl of lukewarm water for a few minutes will help the excess glue from the lashes. If any glue is left after soaking them in water, they can be removed gently by one’s fingers but care should be taken to see that none of the lashes get pulled off. The eyelashes extensions can be dried by placing them on a towel, but they should not be rubbed or they would come off. After the cleaning and drying is done, they can be stored for future use.

During the time that the lashes are worn, one should not rub their eyes roughly as this may cause the lashes to come loose or may even break them. Eyelashes extensions should remain even after showering; however they should not be put through any strain such as rubbing the eyes roughly with a towel and so on.

Also facial cleansers, moisturizers or makeup removers that contain oil or solvents should never be applied when one is wearing the eyelashes extensions. If they are used, then they will cause the extensions to come off.

Professionally applied eyelashes extensions are an elaborate but reliable process. It usually takes around two hours because in this case each lash is applied onto the eyelash separately. These professionally applied eyelashes extensions also stay on for much longer and do not need the use of mascara or eyelash curlers.

Applying eyelashes extensions needs to be done with a lot of care. If they are not applied properly, one eyelash would end up feeling heavy like something is on top of them. Also, if they are not properly applied, the eyelashes would look scattered, curled in different directions or even clumped together. This naturally makes the eyelashes look really bad hence it is always advisable to get professional help when applying eyelashes extensions.

If the above points and instructions are kept in mind then the application, use and maintenance of eyelashes extensions should not be difficult at all and you would have beautiful long and thick eyelashes.
