Eyelash Extension Application

The materials used for eyelash extension are glue, fake individual lashes, tweezers and eyelash comb brush. Using the tweezers, the technician will pick up a single fake lash, dip a part of it on the glue and then stick to one of your natural lashes. There should be a good distance between the root of the natural lashes and the part where the fake one is glued.

The technician will glue the fake lashes one by one. The eyelash extension procedure can last up to an hour depending on how many lashes have to be glued. Before all the glued lashes dry up, the technician will comb the lashes with the eyelash comb to further fix their position and to ensure that they all face upwards and in one direction. Then the eyelash extension is dried up.

The fake lashes fall off along with the natural cycle of the lashes. So depending on the natural growth cycle of your lashes, you may need to have a retouch of eyelash extension every 3 or 4 weeks. This is to ensure that your lashes will stay longer and thicker.

Eyelash extension application may have a cost attached to it but nothing would pay contentment and confidence that women will get once they have achieved their life long dream of having eyes that speak for itself. Women have always envied long and thick lashes of celebrities and now that this is within their reach, what could stand in between?
