subject: Get Perfect Lashes Every Day With Eyelash Extensions [print this page] Most women have a morning ritual before they leave their homes to go to work. This usually involves a shower, a facial care regimen, and make-up application. Putting on make-up for most girls means some foundation, blush, lipstick, and the ever-important eye make-up. We all want to accentuate that particular feature and we do it with eye shadow, eyeliner, and mascara. After all, who wakes up with perfect eyelashes? Well, now you can with eyelash extensions.
Eyelash extensions are fake single strand eyelashes that are glued on to each strand of your own eyelashes. Unlike the single-use "falsies" that we've all used at one time or another, extensions last more than just one day. Generally, they last 3-4 weeks, depending on your own hair cycles and body chemistry.
You can get extensions for your lashes at a beauty salon or hair studio that offers that service or an establishment that specializes in that kind of service. Just make sure that you ask questions at the salon about what products they use and where their technicians were trained. Since getting semi-permanent lashes means that a technician will be using a bonding agent or glue and sharp instruments around your eye area, it's best that you get them done by trained professionals. The entire process usually takes around 2 hours.
Most salons have several thicknesses and lengths available depending on the look you want to achieve and the kind of strands that would be best for you. Since these extensions will be glued to your individual lashes, getting ones that are too long or too thick may put undue stress on your own eyelashes. This could lead to them falling out sooner or they could irritate your eyes.
The extensions are placed approximately 1mm from your eyelid, which means that the glue will not touch your skin or your eye. They look completely natural and will give your peepers a more dramatic look even without make-up. However, while you have the extensions, it's best that you avoid touching or rubbing your eyes or using waterproof mascara and eyeliner. You can still use make-up, as long as you use a remover that is not oil-based, which could degrade the glue used to attach the extensions.
With eyelash extensions you can get the lashes you have always wanted without the clumping and the extra 5 minutes in front of your mirror. You can wake up with perfect, beautiful, thick lashes just like your favorite celebrity.
