Eyelash Strips Versus Eyelash Extensions
Have you ever wondered if eyelash extensions are for you? There are a few reasons that this procedure is coveted. For one, extensions stay on longer, and you wake up with sultry eyes without even having to apply anything to them. Another reason to have eyelash extensions is that they are generally water-proof and will stay on at pool parties and beach events. And eyelash extensions are desired because they are applied in a spa-like environment, that can be soothing and pampering.
But what is the real cost of eyelash extensions?
For one, they have the potential to be incredibly dangerous. If you don't go to a reputable and licensed professional, you could wind up with an eye infection or worse. Going to someone to apply products and chemicals so close to the delicate eye area is an important decision that could affect you for the rest of your life if you choose to trust the wrong technician. Secondly, the procedure takes a very long time to apply individual lashes, upwards to an hour sitting in the chair. Thirdly, eye sensitivity is a huge issue as many people have extremely sensitive eyes and the glue which is used to adhere the lashes to the eye can be irritating and can cause rashes and worse if it gets into the eye itself. And lastly, this procedure damages the natural eyelash because they are stuck onto the natural hair, and when the synthetic lashes fall off it often takes the natural lash along with it. After prolonged and regular eyelash extension procedures the natural eyelashes can fall out.
