The Application Process of Lashes Extension 

The eyelash extensions are carefully applied one by one using semi-formulated glue that’s particularly made not to damage or irritate your natural lashes. They are only applied to your existing lashes and not directly to the skin. Here are the steps that you can expect:
 

1. Evaluation – before the application begins, your technician will go through the details and the risks involved along with the benefits of having eyelash extensions. You will also be asked about the conditions that you may have, to ensure that having lash extensions are suitable for you.
    

2. Choosing the curl strength and length – you will be asked by the type of look that you’re after. Would you like it more natural or glamorous? Based on your goal or the look you desire, you’ll be choosing the suitable strength and length for the lash extensions. However, bear in mind that your technician may use up to 3-4 types of lengths wherein they will be using longer extensions on your eye’s outer corners and shorter ones will be on the inner part of your eyes.
    

3. The eye area will be cleansed – you will be laid down in a comfortable position. The eye area will be cleansed to remove dirt, any makeup, and oil, killing the germs at the same time.
    

4. Tape and eye gels will be applied – your eyes will be closed for 1-2 hours or during the whole process of the eye extension application. Part of the preparation is putting under eye gel to the lower lash line area so that the lower lashes will be kept out of the way. The eye gels applied will then be secured using a medical-grade tape on both sides of your eyes. Don’t worry, it won’t hurt when it’s removed since the tape won’t be touching the lashes.
    

5. Application time – the technician will dip the end of every lash extension in the glue by using tweezers which will then be applied to each of your natural lashes. Usually, one extension is placed in every natural lash but if you want a more voluminous look, it needs more extensions in each of your lashes. The application itself is not painful, but some other people get anxious because of the tweezers near their eyes.
    

6. Drying period – the glue usually dries quickly, but you will need to sit for 10 minutes after the application. Some lash technicians may use handheld fans to help it dry quickly while others let it air dry. Your eyes are still closed during this period.
    

7. Tape and Gel removal – once they are dry; the gels and tapes are removed with extra precaution since there are people who are sensitive during this process. Your lashes will be brushed using a spooly. You can open your eyes slowly, and you’re done!
