Myth Buster Monday: I can easily apply lash extensions myself

It can be easy to confuse lash extensions with fake eyelashes. Yes, technically they’re both faux lashes, but the difference is, fake eyelashes are applied at home for a temporary look. Meanwhile, lash extensions are professionally applied, by a licensed esthetician, using a strong, permanent lash adhesive.

Because lash extensions are applied with a strong adhesive, it’s important that they’re applied properly or else they may cause harm to your natural lashes.

It is also important to ensure your eyes are completely closed during the entire appointment so the adhesive fumes don’t get into your eyes as it can cause discomfort.

Why Lash Extensions are better than Lash Strips
