About Eyelash Extensions
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.
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.
Questions to ask before booking
Ask what adhesive brand the technician uses and whether it contains formaldehyde. Ask how many years of experience they have and if they hold a sanitation certificate. Ask to see a photo of a healed lash line after 3 weeks, not just day one. Clear answers here prevent allergic reactions and poor retention.
Daily care and brushing
Brush lashes twice a day with a clean spoolie to prevent twisting. Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction. Avoid oil-based eye makeup, mascaras with fibers, and mechanical eyelash curlers. With daily care, retention stays above 80% at the 2-week mark.
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.
Questions to ask before booking
Ask what glue brand and cyanoacrylate percentage the technician uses, how many hours the fumes need to cure, and whether the salon is ventilated. Ask to see a patch-test photo from the last 30 days and a portfolio of real clients, not stock images, so you can judge isolation work and symmetry.
Daily care and brushing
Brush gently once a day with a clean spoolie from middle to tip, never root to tip, to avoid twisting extensions off. Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase and avoid face-down sleeping, which bends extensions. Clean every 2 to 3 days with a lash-safe foam cleanser, not micellar water or facial soap.
Classic, volume, and hybrid
Classic style attaches one extension to one natural lash. Volume applies 2 to 6 ultra-fine extensions in a fan shape per lash. Hybrid mixes both, usually about 50/50. Volume fans use 0.03 mm to 0.07 mm fibers, and full sets take 90 to 150 minutes depending on the chosen style.
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.
Safe removal at home or salon
Professional removal takes 10 to 15 minutes using a cream-based solvent placed on the lashes for 3 to 5 minutes. The extensions slide off without pulling. Never rip extensions off, because this can remove up to 5 natural lashes per eye. Home removal kits work but need 10 extra minutes and careful rinsing.
