At this point there are no doubts about the success that eyelash extensions have become. The look changes a lot based on long, thick and more marked eyelashes. Although until recently it was necessary to resort to masks or falsies to achieve them, it is no longer necessary to resort to makeup. Eyelash extensions are for that, long-lasting effects and, with a proper design, they can even look very natural. In return, you just have to provide a series of care so that they remain in good condition for as long as possible.
It should be noted that the procedure for applying eyelash extensions must be carried out in a professional center and by specialized personnel. Once in place, these will only require periodic maintenance, which includes touch-ups, approximately once a month. And, of course, take care of them at home so that they don’t get damaged.
If properly cared for, eyelash extensions can last between four and six weeks, although that does not exempt them from a touch-up to fill in any small spaces that require it. This cosmetic procedure offers a whole series of advantages for those people who want to have a perfect look. However, it will be essential to memorize and apply all the advice that professionals share so that they remain in good condition. And also so that the natural eyelashes are not affected.
One of the most common mistakes has to do with the way eyelash extensions are cleaned. The first thing to keep in mind is that, for 24 hours immediately after application, the eyelashes cannot become wet or humid under any circumstances. And this includes keeping them away from any type of vapor or even sweat. Once that reasonable time has passed, they can get wet, but it is preferable to clean them using an eyelash foam.
Another aspect to take into account, and where mistakes are usually made, has to do with mascara. This cannot be applied to eyelash extensions, so it is better to forget about it. The same thing happens with the eyelash curler, its use is not recommended, otherwise, they will end up damaging themselves. Although the precautions do not end there, another detail that must be remembered is not to use products that are oily, that is, whether they are oils or even biphasic makeup removers.
And they should be brushed daily, especially when they are thicker and longer. It is necessary to dedicate daily care to them in this sense, since only in this way will it be possible to keep them in place, so that they do not move and look uniform.
