ALL ABOUT LASH EXTENSIONS Do eyelash extensions damage your natural lashes? No - we apply eyelash extensions taking special care to ensure that they are all applied individually and correctly to maintain your eyelash health. To ensure the ongoing health of your lashes, we highly recommend that you take the advice of the technician regarding the maximum thickness and length that would be appropriate long-term for your natural lashes. The eyelash extensions come off with your natural lash as it falls out, and so long as an appropriate weight extension has been applied, your natural lashes will grow as normal. Please listen to the technicians advice about how long/heavy you should go if you have naturally thin or sparse lashes. Do not try to remove the eyelash extensions yourself – doing this could easily damage your natural lashes, as the adhesive bond is extremely strong and you will most likely pull out your own natural lashes as well. Sometimes clients choose not to take our advice regarding the lashes and do request extra long and thick lashes be applied to their thin or fine natural lashes. We will advise against this but ultimately the choice is yours. We will apply the lashes that you request. Usually as a one-off or special occasion wear, this will cause no problems at all, but long-term it can weaken your lashes. Please also be aware that wearing mascara will break down the adhesive and cause extension loss prematurely. Sunscreen, facial/eye creams or oily products you apply may also affect the bond of your extensions. Summer time means high humidity, and humidity can also affect the retention of your lash extensions. Hormones can also affect retention of the lash extension, please get approval from your GP before contemplating lash extensions during pregnancy. To avoid any eye infections, using a mix of 1 part baby shampoo to 2 part water gently wash the lashes and then rinse, dab dry very gently.
