Are lashes weaker after extensions?

If you notice that your natural lashes look thinner and sparser as your eyelash extensions start to fall out, the treatment could be the culprit. Eyelash extensions don't damage eyelashes when applied correctly. To avoid damaging natural lashes, eyelash extensions should be carefully selected (length and thickness) and correctly applied to one natural eyelash at a time. When you put on eyelash extensions, the cycle continues normally.

Since each eyelash extension is connected to a natural eyelash, extensions fall out in the same cycle as natural lashes. If a customer asks, “Will my lashes grow back after eyelash extensions? You can assure them that their eyelashes continue to grow even with the extensions on. It's all part of the eyelash growth cycle. If you're an eyelash technician, be sure to ask each customer about any allergies or sensitivities.

If they are unsure, watch for signs of irritation during application, as this may indicate that it is better to switch to another type of adhesive. If you're a customer, express your concerns right from the start. Tell your eyelash technician about your sensitivity to certain eyelash glues. If you start to feel pain or discomfort during the eyelash application process, contact your technician right away.

Irritated eyes cause a lot of rubbing and pulling, which could damage your natural lashes. All of your lashes are in a different state at any given time, meaning that some are about to fall out, while others are experiencing a period of growth (this is true whether you're wearing eyelash extensions or not). Taking these two variables into account will allow you to select an eyelash extension that balances with natural lashes. If, unfortunately, an eyelash technician fixed your eyelash extensions and didn't apply them correctly and you made one of the three mistakes above (extensions that are too heavy, sticky, or shaped like a nail head), your natural lashes could be damaged.

Eyelash extensions won't cause natural lashes to fall out faster than normal: natural lashes simply follow their growth cycle. So let's address the common question: “Do eyelash extensions make your natural lashes shorter? Since an individual extension is applied to an individual eyelash, that extension will fall out on its own when the natural eyelash falls out. Classic extensions are applied in a one-to-one ratio, meaning that an extension is applied to each natural eyelash. I know that all the specialists in eyelash extensions tell you that they won't damage your natural lashes if you do them correctly, but maybe I only have very weak eyelashes, I would go to the best eyelash technicians and, every time my last extension fell out, I would get much shorter natural eyelashes than when I started.

If the growth cycle of your natural lashes is carefully respected, eyelash extensions won't damage your natural lashes. The main factors affecting any extension application are exactly what you would expect: the ideal lashes for extensions are strong, long, thick and with a smooth curl. When eyelash extensions are applied correctly, they must absolutely respect the natural growth cycle of natural lashes. The result was great (I woke up with bangs full of eyelashes and went to work without putting on any makeup), but after a week I started to wake up with my pillowcase covered with eyelashes, both extensions and my own natural eyelashes.
