We lose one eyelash almost every day. Much like the hair from your head replenishing itself with new follicles, eyelashes work the same way. For those who have glamorous, long, batting-my-eyes-because-I-can lashes this is not a problem. However, for the remaining population representing the genetically affected, short sparse strands that always need a heavy coat of mascara, help is needed. Eyelash extensions have been around for years and their variety and complexity has opened the dream of wonderfully long lashes for all women to experience. Eyelash extensions are comprised of synthetic material that is attached to your eyelash individually, not your skin. This painstakingly, laborious process usually takes anywhere from one to two hours to complete. Beauticians use a lash adhesive that is formulated to create a solid bond with your existing lashes allowing your newly created longer lashes to look natural and flexible. Applying eyelash extensions requires a professional with the ability to customize the total volume of lashes you wish to have. Single strand eyelash extensions are as discussed earlier, applied to one single strand at a time to lengthen your existing length. Semi or cluster eyelash extensions are applied by adding multiple strands to your single lash to create fuller lashes. While they are more real looking than applying false lashes, semi lashes do not have the same natural look of single strand extensions. A healthy human grows a new set of eyelashes every 6 to 12 weeks and with proper care these eyelash extensions will last the full cycle of your eyelash growth. The difference of extensions lasting two days to two weeks is the adhesive used. Beauty professionals will have the best materials for the job while you can pick some up at drug stores that have a more temporary lasting effect. Professionals will guide you through what length, thickness and shape will best suit you. Eyelash extensions require refills between 2 and 4 weeks for the main reason that new clients are getting used to them and may not know how to effectively take care of them at first. It's also best to let the beautician remove the extensions instead of trying to on your own as you will risk causing damage to your natural lashes. If you're feeling really fancy you can get mink eyelash extensions. They are naturally soft and feel very close to your normal eyelashes. They do carry a heavier price tag than most eyelash extensions, typically ranging from $60-$200, depending on if you getting both your top and bottom eyelashes done. Mink eyelashes may cost around $500 for a more natural eyelash look. Whether you happen to be blessed with great eyelashes or simply use an effective mascara to get the look you want, eyelash extensions are an affordable way to enhance what you may lack in the appearance of your eyelashes. Longer eyelashes look great on every woman and for this reason the trend will be around for a very long time.
