Extensions are pieces of synthetic or mink lashes that are glued to the edge of your real lashes to create a longer, more noticeable lashes. After a 24-hour cure period, the lashes can be treated just like normal lashes, so you can swim, shower, and try out hot yoga any time you want.

Lash extensions come in many different sizes, colors, materials, and varieties, so you can personalize your ultimate appearance. A full set can be applied in about two hours, and you won’t feel any pain in the process! Since lashes naturally shed every four to six weeks, you will need to return for touch ups every month if you want to maintain your full set of extensions. Otherwise, the extensions will eventually fall out with your natural lashes and you’ll return to your normal appearance.

Which is Best For You?

Lash extensions, on the other hand, are an investment that most women find totally addictive. They are the right choice for women looking to add a bit of flare and drama to their appearance.
