Hey lovely WiNKED family! Welcome to another insightful blog post. Are you tired of hearing conflicting information about eyelash extensions? Let's set the record straight! Join us as we debunk the 5 most common misconceptions and get you the facts.
📣 Myth 1: Eyelash Extensions Damage Your Natural Lashes
One of the most persistent myths about eyelash extensions is that they damage your natural lashes. This is simply not true. When applied correctly by a skilled technician, eyelash extensions should not harm your natural lashes. In fact, they can even protect your natural lashes from breakage and loss.
How it works: Eyelash extensions are applied individually to your natural lashes using a special adhesive. When applied correctly, the adhesive bonds to the extension, not damaging your natural lash. This means that your natural lashes can grow and shed naturally without being affected by the extensions.
The benefits: Not only do eyelash extensions not damage your natural lashes, but they can actually help to protect them. By adding volume and length to your natural lashes, extensions can help to prevent breakage and loss.
📣 Myth 2: You Can't Wear Makeup with Eyelash Extensions
Another common misconception is that you can't wear makeup with eyelash extensions. This is absolutely false! You can wear makeup as usual with eyelash extensions. Just be sure to use oil-free products and avoid rubbing or tugging at your lashes.
Why oil-free products are important: Oil-based makeup products can weaken the adhesive that holds the extensions in place. This can lead to premature shedding and loss of extensions.
How to apply makeup: When applying makeup with eyelash extensions, it's best to use a light hand. Avoid rubbing or tugging at your lashes, as this can also damage the adhesive.
📣 Myth 3: Eyelash Extensions Are High Maintenance
While they do require some maintenance, eyelash extensions aren't as high-maintenance as you might think. Regular fills are necessary to maintain the fullness and shape, but they're usually quick and painless.
How often do you need fills? The frequency of fills depends on your individual lash growth rate and desired fullness. Most people need fills every 2-3 weeks.
What happens during a fill? During a fill, your technician will remove any shed extensions and apply new ones to replace them. This helps to maintain the fullness and shape of your extensions.
📣 Myth 4: You Can't Get Your Eyelashes Wet with Extensions
This is a myth that's been around for years. You can get your eyelashes wet, but it's best to avoid excessive rubbing or scrubbing.
How to care for your extensions after getting wet: After getting your eyelashes wet, gently pat them dry with a clean towel. Avoid rubbing or scrubbing, as this can damage the adhesive.
Can you swim with eyelash extensions? Yes, you can swim with eyelash extensions. However, it's best to avoid saltwater pools and hot tubs, as these can dry out the adhesive.
📣 Myth 5: Eyelash Extensions Are Only for Special Occasions
Who says you can't look fabulous every day? Eyelash extensions are a great way to enhance your natural beauty and boost your confidence.
The benefits of everyday eyelash extensions: Wearing eyelash extensions every day can give you a boost of confidence and make you feel more beautiful. They can also help to make your eyes appear larger and more awake. Not to mention, the time you save not having to apply mascara!
