For some of us having drop dead gorgeous hair is only important on special occasions like our birthday, a night out with the girls or when you seem to have a date. When we know the focus isn’t going to be on us, the hair goes up into a bun, a braid or a pony and we forget that it needs love and attention just like the rest of our body!
Just like getting hair extensions, eyelash extensions boost volume, thicken and add length. They are a fantastic way of improving ones own natural lashes with long lasting results. The process involves man made, single fiber materials being attached to the customer’s individual eyelashes, creating a longer, fuller, more intense look. Generally these man made lashes are attached with surgical-grade adhesive, in order to keep them in place for as long as possible. This type of eye enrichment is not like the simple stick-on strip lashes that are bought in shops. These extensions vary in length, color and thickness, and can be worn 24 hours a day, even when showering and swimming, though contact with oily substances will shorten their lasting time. Unlike the false lashes purchased in shops, these are applied lash at a time, not in a strip, and so the process can take, on average, about two and a half hours. A full set entails about 30-80 lashes per eye, all individually bonded with the medical grade adhesive.
Not yet as popular as hair extensions for the head but providing the same additional length and fullness, eyelash extensions are a must have for those who take beauty seriously. Minute, thread-like extensions are carefully attached to each lash of the upper eyelid using a medical strength adhesive substance. This gives a maximised, thicker lash effect and fuller line across the lid. This method is unlike the attachment of common strip lashes that you purchase in stores, as they provide a more natural appearance. This kind of extension can be worn 24 hours a day without removal, and is suitable for showering and swimming. Although they don’t have to be removed, oil from skin can damage the adhesive used and thus you should avoid contact if possible. Eyelash extensions are much more effective than the traditional strip lashes as they are applied one at a time to individual lashes. This procedure can take anywhere from two to three hours depending on the individual and a full set involves 30 to 80 false lashes per eye.
While we ask ‘what price beauty’, strictly speaking, it is not just for reasons of vanity that someone may need an eyelash grower. For instance, if you have been involved in some form of accident that led to the loss or damage of your own eyelashes, then you may need to re-start the growth process. Generally, this type of trauma will lead to a temporary halt in the growth cycle. Excessive stress can also have a similar effect to trauma. A few illnesses can also affect your eyelashes adversely, leading to a loss or stunted growth. For example, if you have an underperforming thyroid gland. Should you be on some forms of medication this may also affect the eyelashes.
If you have been looking for the best lash growth product, then you need to do a little research first. There are so many lash growth products on the market it makes everything a little confusing. What are these products and how do they work? What should you look for? How much should you ideally pay? Is it worth buying the cheaper products? Most of all, will it actually work?!
