But here we are not going to discuss these extensions types etc. but want to provide the more information so that you can decide easily if the eyelash enhancement treatment is suitable for you or not? Just like other types of beauty treatments, lash extensions also have some advantages and disadvantages. Most of the time you will only be informed about the benefits but you will never hear about the disadvantages. According to eyelash extensions Fredericton tech, here are few of the Pros and cons of this beauty treatment.
Eyelash Extensions Benefits
- Extensions offer you more brilliant look. More dramatic than mascara, but indeed more natural than a piece (or an individual) of false eyelashes, eyelash extensions are virtually stunning when done correctly.
- You will get instant results in a couple of hours. Eyelash extensions convey the iridescent lashes you need with the arrangement, and you don’t have to try to apply and rub the mascara evenly or cause stress by chipping, running, or smearing the mascara.
- They can save you time. Lots of people say eyelash extensions are also perfect for your routine life. If you don’t want to wear makeup in the early morning, you can still have a brilliant look, and you don’t need mascara or any eye makeup. Only a couple of infill’s you will need during the whole natural life of these extensions.
- They can last upto 8 to 12 weeks!
- Typically, eyelash extensions stay on the prowl for 3-4 weeks, after that, each of them steadily falls off due to natural eyelash growth and your other daily routines like swimming or showering. However, this problem can be resolved with regular infilling (recommended once in a month).
Eyelash Extensions Cons
- They are expensive. These will cost you anywhere between $ 150 and $ 300 (that much really) for your first full set of lashes. After that, Infill’s (normally recommended once in a month) cost anywhere from $ 50 to $ 100 per visit. So the total cost of the eyelash extensions could be from 500$ to 750$!
- They require regular maintenance. Due to natural lash growth, your extensions start falling, and you need a regular visit to the salon. As I said, usually you need to visit a salon for maintenance is once a month but if you didn’t take care of them properly, you might need to go for it twice or more. Also, you can’t use chemicals and oil-based makeup removers because they will degrade the adhesive. And most of the makeup removers are oil-based and oil-free make remover are expensive.
Pro Tips
You should be very careful when drying your face with a towel. You should not use water-proof mascara after getting eyelash extensions treatment. Only water-soluble mascara is recommended by a lash technician which could be an expensive option. You should also avoid harsh skin care products for your face. Avoid any kind of oil-based cosmetics products around the eyes, as well as eye pencils and cleansing products with oil will damage the lash line. Only apply mild eyeliner, and never use cheap quality makeup products on your eyes, especially on the treated area. Always use a cotton swab dipped in cosmetic remover to eliminate makeup from your lash line.
Do I have any Alternative?
Most people ask me, if they can go for any other eyelash beauty treatment other than extensions due to the cost of the sets and also aftercare. Yes, you can still have an option for your lashes that is eyelash lift and tint.
Lash lifting, and tinting treatment actually don’t involve to physically lengthen of the eyelashes but it can lift, curl and tint the natural lashes. With this salon based lash enhancement, you can have curly lashes which create the illusion of longer and fluffy eyelashes. The treatment will cost you less than 100$, and there will be no further maintenance visit will be needed.
