The Eyelash Extensions Cosmetic Treatment
Eyelash extensions are the latest beauty development to hit the mainstream, though celebrities have been getting semi-permanent eyelash extensions for the last century or two. Few women would turn down the opportunity to get their eyelashes thickened and lengthened, especially if you told them it would cause no damage to their own eyelashes, it’s painless, and it feels completely light and natural, not to mention no maintenance is required.
Semi-permanent lash extensions are applied by a cosmetologist trained in attaching synthetic eyelashes. The whole process lasts about 45 minutes, during which many women take a short nap, because you have to keep your eyes closed the whole time. The lashes are coated with a primer for a few minutes that will make the lash glue hold until the eyelash naturally sheds, roughly every three weeks. Then the beautician will start attaching the actual extensions one by one onto your individual lashes.
The end result will be that you have eyelashes that extend further out and up, and are thicker and fuller at the base. For women with light colored lashes, a slightly darker shade can also make your eyelashes more noticeable while still looking completely natural.
You can apply these lashes at home if you want to save some money, though the procedure usually only costs $50-60 at a salon, but it would be much easier to get a friend to do it. Holding just one eye open for ten minutes or longer at a time is surprisingly difficult, plus you run the risk of dripping eyelash glue into your eye, which isn’t dangerous but is very painful for a few minutes. Get a female friend so that you can do each other’s eyelashes without any risk of pain or discomfort. The eyelash extension kits cost about $20-25 for enough extensions to last you a few months if you do touch ups on your lashes every couple weeks.
