Strip lashes to lash extensions: Why you should make the switch

by | Jun 29, 2017 | Customers, Lash Education

Strip lashes… we’ve all seen them! Most of us have probably used them for a special events like proms or weddings to really make our lash lines pop. They can be found in pretty much any department or drug store. So, with such ease and convenience, why should you make the switch from strip lashes to semi-permanent lash extensions? We’ve got a few reasons…

They are less likely to cause irritation. Strip lashes are packed together in one strip and are glued along the upper lash line to the top of the eyelid. They come in direct contact with your skin which can cause irritation and sensitivity from the adhesive. Alternatively, eyelash extensions are individual extensions that are adhered in a 1:1 method (one or more lashes to one natural lash) by a professional lash artist. They are not glued to your skin like strip lashes.

Eyelash extensions are more natural. If you’ve ever worn strip lashes, you know that often times they end in frustration and defeat. From peeling corners to dripping glue, strip lashes are a royal pain! If you do succeed in applying them correctly, they almost always look fake and unnatural. On the other hand, eyelash extensions are extremely versatile. You can add tons of drama with Volume Lashes or keep things natural with a Classic Set.

They won’t weigh you down! Best of all, eyelash extensions won’t weigh you down. You can wake up with longer, fuller lashes every day without any of the hassle. Lash extensions are weightless and, since they are not adhered to your skin, won’t weigh you down or feel heavy. Say goodbye to strip lashes and hello to gorgeous, flawless lashes.
