    Is it safe to do your own lash extensions?

    Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent fibers that are glued to your natural lashes to make them appear longer, thicker and darker. The goal of lash extensions is to give the eyes a made-up appearance without the use of mascara or other eye makeup. While false eyelashes can also achieve this look, there are some key differences between false lashes and eyelash extensions. False eyelashes usually come in strips that you glue across the top of the natural lash line and remove at the end of the day. Eyelash extensions are individual fibers that are attached to each natural lash, one at a time. Once applied, eyelash extensions should last the average lifespan of natural eyelashes, which ranges from six weeks to two months.


    While it may be possible to achieve the look of eyelash extensions using a DIY method, it is not recommended and can seriously damage your eyelashes and eyeballs. When you have a professional apply your lash extensions, your eyes are closed the entire time to ensure the precision of the application and the safety of your eyes. When applying Melbourne Lash Extensions yourself, fumes from the glue can irritate your eyes before you’re able to attach the fibers to the lash. It’s also common in DIY lash extension kits for clumps or clusters of lashes to be provided. Applying several false lashes onto one natural lash can cause irritation, breakage and trauma to the lash follicle. If you want eyelash extensions, please make sure they are done by a certified professional. Saving money isn’t worth losing your natural lashes or harming your eyes.


    Even if you have your lash extensions applied by a high-level lash artist, there is a chance that your natural lashes will be damaged in the process. Just like with the hair on your head, your lashes grow away from the root. As the lash extensions grow farther from the root, the weight of the extension can put pressure on the natural lash. The natural lash may not be able to support the weight of the extension, which can cause breakage.

    Re: Is it safe to do your own lash extensions?

    If you have the skills, you can do this extension yourself. But I will say - it’s not convenient. Even professionals. Just like giving yourself some specific hairstyle. The same. It’s inconvenient to do it on your own and, of course, there may be risks.
    Personally, I turn to a professional every time, although I myself have the necessary education and skills. For example, I recently did permanent makeup in https://www.hdpermanentmakeup.ca/per...eliner-makeup/ and if possible, I would recommend contacting them.
