Obviously, if done by experts, there is usually nothing to fear. However, do declare any allergies you may have in order to avoid an infection or a bad reaction to the special glue formula they use.

How Long Does It Take to Apply Them?

According to  lash expert Courtney Akai, this actually depends on what you want to get exactly. For example, if you have natural thin lashes, it’s extremely risky to opt for the dramatic Kim Kardashian look. Instead, she recommends to start with fewer lashes (50 percent of your top lashes.)

Further more, she explains that the process itself takes a couple of hours, but definitely need a year-round touch ups to make sure that they don’t fall off.

How Frequently Do You Need to Get Them Redone?

There is no specific period, although as mentioned, touch ups should be continuous. However, since it depends on each person’s natural hair growth cycle, every 4-6 weeks you should be getting them checked up.

In addition, Courtney stresses that if you experience discomfort or a burning feeling when you cry or shower, you must speak up as it could be alarming. Furthermore, during the first 48 hours, avoid direct interaction with water, make up removal, mascara and any type of chemicals since the lashes will still be sensitive.

Can You Still Use Mascara?

Yes, you can still apply mascara. However, it’s recommended that you only use it on the tips of the lashes, and make sure you press lightly instead of how u would usually put Mascara on. It is important to know though, that mascara damages natural lashes, and since lashes extensions are basically connected to your real lashes, they might end up falling off as well. So be moderate with using mascara anyways.

Do Lash Extensions Damage Your Natural Lashes?

According to Courtney, this is just a myth. Eyelashes extensions do not damage your natural eyelashes nor does it make them weaker, if applied properly. However, they do require extra care. Avoid rubbing your eyes really hard, make sure to remove any make up residues overnight, and above all, make sure to get them retouched every now and then.
