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.
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.
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.
How long a full set lasts
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.
Allergies and patch tests
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.
What eyelash extensions are
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.
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 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 sets
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.
Allergies and patch tests
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.
