About Eyelash Extensions
Main shapes and curls
Curl types are labeled B, C, D, and L. B is a soft lift, C is a medium curve, D is a dramatic curve, and L is straight at the base with a sharp upward tip. Lengths go from 8 mm to 14 mm, and thicknesses range from 0.05 mm to 0.20 mm. Thinner diameters look softer but hold less weight.
Aftercare in the first 24 hours
Keep lashes dry for 12 to 24 hours after application. Avoid steam, saunas, and workouts that cause heavy sweating. Do not rub the eyes or sleep face-down for the first 2 nights. After that, gentle cleansing with an oil-free lash shampoo once a day keeps the adhesive bond strong.
How long a full set lasts
A full set normally lasts 4 to 6 weeks, but that is the natural lash growth cycle, not the lifespan of each extension. Most clients lose 2 to 5 extensions per day per eye. A refill every 2 to 3 weeks keeps the set looking full, because grown-out lashes carry the extension out as they shed.
Safe removal at home or salon
Professional removal uses a gel or cream remover with 10 to 15 minutes of contact time, then the extensions slide off with a microbrush. At home, an oil-based balm left for 20 minutes can loosen bonds on classic sets, but never pull or force an extension out, as this can take the natural lash with it.
What usually goes wrong
Poor isolation causes extensions to stick to two lashes at once, leading to premature fallout. Heavy diameters on weak natural lashes cause traction alopecia over 6 to 12 months. Uncured glue fumes can irritate eyes for 24 hours. An allergic reaction to adhesive shows as red, puffy eyelids within 24 to 48 hours.
Main curls, lengths and diameters
Extensions come in curls labelled B (soft), C (medium), D (dramatic) and L (lifted), lengths from 8 mm to 15 mm, and diameters from 0.05 mm to 0.20 mm. Thinner diameters feel lighter and are gentler on weak natural lashes, while thicker diameters create a bolder look but carry more weight per strand.
Aftercare in the first 24 hours
Keep lashes dry for the first 24 hours so the glue can finish polymerising. Avoid steam, saunas, hot showers over 40 degrees, workouts that flood sweat into the eyes and oil-based makeup removers. Do not rub, pull or use a cotton pad on the lash line during this window.
What the appointment looks like
The client lies down with eyes closed. The technician places gel patches under each eye to isolate the lower lashes. Each extension is picked up with tweezers, dipped in adhesive, and placed on a single natural lash. Eyes stay shut the whole time, and the room is usually ventilated to reduce fume buildup.
What affects the price
Prices vary by style, technician skill, and location. Classic sets start at the lowest tier, volume costs 40 to 80% more due to longer application time. Hybrid sits in the middle. Specialty adhesive, colored extensions, or mega volume can add 20 to 30% to the final cost. Always confirm refill pricing upfront.
What usually goes wrong
Poor isolation causes stickies, where two natural lashes are glued together and pull out early. Overweight extensions bend or break natural lashes. Glued-to-skin bonds cause irritation and plucking pain during removal. Uneven mapping leaves gaps near the outer corner or uneven curl direction across the lid.
