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.
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.
A patch test places 5 to 10 extensions on the outer corner of one eye, kept on for 24 to 48 hours. Any redness, itching, or swelling means the adhesive is not safe to use. About 1 to 3% of clients react to standard cyanoacrylate glue, and a hypoallergenic version costs about 20% more.
Eyelash extensions are synthetic fibres, usually made of PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) or silk-like material, that are bonded one by one to your natural lashes with a small drop of cyanoacrylate-based glue. A full set can have 80 to 150 extensions per eye, depending on the desired density and your natural lash count.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Classic sets attach one extension per natural lash. Volume sets use handmade fans of 2 to 6 ultra-thin extensions per natural lash for a fluffy finish. Hybrid sets mix single extensions and handmade fans across the eye to create a textured, slightly wispy result that balances drama and softness.
Reactions are usually to cyanoacrylate fumes, not the fibre itself. Symptoms include red, puffy or itchy lids, burning around the lash line and watering eyes 2 to 12 hours after application. A patch test places 5 to 10 extensions on the outer corner and is read after 24 to 48 hours before a full set.
