Lash extensions can be a fantastic way to enhance your natural beauty, giving you fuller, longer lashes without the need for mascara. However, there are plenty of myths floating around about lash extensions that can make people hesitant to give them a try. Let’s set the record straight and debunk three of the most common lash myths so you can feel confident about making an informed choice.
Myth #1: Lash Extensions Can Damage Your Natural Lashes
❌ The Myth: Many people think lash extensions will ruin their natural lashes.
✅ The Truth: When applied properly by a trained lash artist, lash extensions won’t damage your natural lashes. Skilled professionals use techniques and adhesives designed to protect the integrity of your lashes, ensuring that each extension is placed carefully on a single natural lash. This way, your natural lashes are allowed to grow and shed as normal without experiencing strain or damage.
Myth #2: Lash Extensions Cause Your Natural Lashes to Fall Out
❌ The Myth: Some believe that wearing lash extensions makes your natural lashes fall out.
✅ The Truth: Natural lash shedding is a completely normal part of your lash cycle, whether you have extensions or not! Each lash naturally falls out and is replaced as part of a healthy growth cycle. If you notice lashes shedding while you’re wearing extensions, that’s actually your natural cycle at work. Extensions don’t change or disrupt this process; they simply enhance the look of each lash during its time in the cycle.
Myth #3: Lash Extensions Are Painful to Apply
❌ The Myth: The application of lash extensions hurts.
✅ The Truth: Actually, getting lash extensions applied is often a very relaxing experience! Many clients even fall asleep during the process, as you’ll lie back with your eyes closed in a comfortable setting. A skilled lash artist uses gentle techniques, so there shouldn’t be any discomfort—just a moment to pamper yourself.
