Will lash extensions damage my natural lashes?

by | Dec 16, 2017 | Customers, Lash Education

When it comes to beauty services, research is key. We all know how important it is to find the right hair stylist, nail tech or any other beauty professional and finding the right lash artist is no exception! However, while conducting your research, it’s possible you might come across some bad information. We’re here to tell you that lash extensions, when applied by a qualified professional, will NOT damage your natural lashes. Here’s why…

An experienced, properly certified lash artist can apply lash extensions that won’t harm or affect your natural lashes in any way. Unfortunately, the lash industry is not one that is always well regulated, so be on the lookout for self-proclaimed “expert lash artists”. In other words, don’t be afraid of getting lashes, be afraid of scheduling with the wrong lash artist!

Before deciding on a lash artist, be sure to check out their credentials. Find out what products they are using. How long have they been lashing? What are their clients saying? Chances are if their feedback is bad, it’s not because of the lashes, it’s because the artist is inexperienced and unqualified.

While we’re at it, another myth worth debunking is that lash extensions will prohibit new lashes from growing. Once again, this is NOT true and often misunderstood. Your natural lashes already follow a growth, shedding and regrowth cycle every 4-6 weeks whether you have lash extensions or not.

Don’t panic when your lash extensions start to shed. It’s a natural part of the process and it doesn’t mean that your natural lashes are damaged. Learn more about your natural lash cycle here.

At the end of the day, lash extensions done by a qualified professional will not cause harm or damage to your natural lashes. However, it is essential to book with a qualified professional. To find some of the best lash artists in the game, check out www.lashaffair.com and find an artist near you!
