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.
A full set lasts 4 to 6 weeks. Natural lashes grow in cycles of 60 to 90 days, so 20 to 30% fall out every 2 weeks. A refill every 2 to 3 weeks is the standard maintenance schedule. Each refill session usually takes 45 to 75 minutes and covers 40 to 60 lashes per eye.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
