Here’s what you need to know about do-it-yourself lash extensions
What are Lash Extensions?
Lash extensions are individual strands of synthetic or real hair glued to your natural lashes to give them extra length and volume. They come in different lengths, thicknesses, colors, and curl types so you can customize the look you want to achieve.
Applying for Lash Extensions
Applying lash extensions is not as difficult as it may seem. The key is to take your time and avoid getting any glue in your eye. Then, follow these steps for best results:
- Start by cleaning your lashes with an oil-free cleanser to remove any dirt or makeup. Be sure to pat them dry afterwards gently.
- Next, apply a thin layer of lash adhesive to the back of one hand. Using tweezers, pick up each extension and dip the tip into the glue.
- Position the extension at the base of your natural lash, holding it in place for a few seconds until the glue sets. Repeat this process until all of your lashes are extended.
- Allow the glue to dry completely before applying mascara (if desired).
- To remove the extensions, use a gentle eye makeup remover and cotton balls. Then, gently peel off the extensions and dispose of them properly.
How do I do lash extensions at home?
There are a few ways that you can do lash extensions at home. One way is to use individual lashes that you can buy from a store like Sephora or Ulta. Another way is to use a lash extension kit, which will come with everything you need, including the lashes, adhesive, and tweezers. The third way is to use eyelash glue and falsies.
If you’re using individual lashes, start trimming them to the desired length. Next, apply a thin layer of adhesive to the lash band and wait for it to dry completely before applying it to your lash line. If you’re using a lash extension kit, follow the instructions that come with it. Finally, if you’re using eyelash glue and falsies, apply the glue to the lash band and wait for it to dry completely before applying it to your lash line.
Once you’ve applied the lashes, use an eyelash curler to curl them. Finish by applying a coat of mascara.
