Eyelash extensions have become increasingly popular in Australia in the last few years, and for good reason. They not only give you beautiful and long lashes, but they can also enhance your look dramatically. However, not everyone is familiar with eyelash extensions and the various options that are available. In this article, we will answer some of the most frequently asked questions about eyelash extensions.

How Do Lash Extensions Work?

Lash extensions are artificial lashes (either natural or synthetic) that are attached to your natural lashes using a special adhesive. This allows you to get long, voluminous lashes – even if your natural lashes are sparse and thin!

The results can last a few weeks and even longer if you look after your lashes well.

What Are The Benefits of Lash Extensions?

Lash extensions are a popular choice for Sydneysiders because they make their lashes appear long, full and lush. Lash extensions are a great way to add some extra volume and length to your natural lashes. By adding length, volume and thickness to your lashes, your eyes will appear more vibrant and dramatic.

Benefits of Eyelash Extensions include:

• They can be used for any type of eye makeup and look you desire
• They give your eyelashes added length, volume and intensity
• They make your eyes really stand out
• They offer protection from sun damage and dryness around the eyes

How Long Do Eyelash Extensions Last?

Eyelash extensions, when applied properly, can last for a few months, however, typically they last about 2-4 weeks. That’s when we recommend you return to your favourite lash studio in Sydney CBD for some eyelash infills.

Some shorter extensions may need to be replaced sooner, while longer extensions can last a little longer. It also depends on how well you look after your lashes. The proper aftercare will help your lash extensions look great for longer.

To extend the life of your new lashes even further, we recommend using a silk pillowcases while sleeping to reduce friction between your lashes and your pillow. These silk pillowcases have proven very helpful in preserving your eyelash extensions. A silk eye mask is another great way to protect your lashes from falling out prematurely.

What are the risks associated with lash extensions?

Like with any beauty treatment, there are some risks that come with lash extensions. The most common risk is that the adhesive may not be applied correctly to hold the lashes in place. This can cause them to fall out prematurely, or they may look uneven. Incorrect application may also cause the lashes to become brittle and damaged.

A trained Eyelash Technician will have the experience required to achieve the desired result, all while keeping it safe and ensuring you love your new lashes.

What are the different types of Eyelash Extensions?

Eyelash Extensions (also known as faux eyelashes, false eyelashes or falsies, as we say in Australia) are a popular beauty treatment where synthetic lashes are used to provide your natural lashes with more length and volume. There are three main types of eyelash extensions:

1. Classic Lashes
2. Volume Lashes
3. Hybrid Lashes

Classic Lashes vs Volume Lashes vs Hybrid Lashes

Classic eyelash extensions are made from individual lash strips that are glued to the top of your existing lashes. Volume eyelash extensions are applied to the base of your existing lashes and then individual lash strips or spikes are added. Which type is right for you will depend on your desired look.

Classic eyelash extensions tend to be more natural looking than volume eyelash extensions while volume eyelash extensions deliver more dramatic results.
