Lash Myths Debunked: Separating Fact from Fiction in Lash Extensions
When it comes to lash extensions, there are plenty of misconceptions floating around that can make potential clients hesitant to try them. At Lash Me Now, we believe in providing accurate information and expert advice to help you make informed beauty decisions. In this blog, we’ll tackle some of the most common myths about lash extensions and set the record straight.
Myth #1: Lash Extensions Ruin Your Natural Lashes
The Truth: When applied correctly by a trained professional, lash extensions do not damage your natural lashes. The key is proper isolation, application, and aftercare.
At Lash Me Now, we use high-quality adhesives and lightweight extensions to ensure your natural lashes remain healthy. The biggest culprit behind lash damage is improper care—such as pulling, rubbing, or using oil-based products that break down the adhesive.
Expert Tip: Always follow your lash technician’s aftercare instructions and avoid DIY lash removal to prevent unnecessary stress on your natural lashes.
Myth #2: You Can’t Get Lash Extensions Wet
The Truth: This myth has been around for years, but it’s outdated! Modern lash adhesives cure within 24 hours, meaning it’s completely safe to get your lashes wet after that time.
That said, excessive exposure to steam (like saunas or very hot showers) can weaken the adhesive over time, so it’s best to be mindful of your lash care routine.
Expert Tip: After washing your face, gently pat your lashes dry with a lint-free towel and use a mini lash fan to keep them fluffy and fresh.
Myth #3: Lash Extensions Require Too Much Maintenance
The Truth: While lash extensions do require some upkeep, they actually save you time in your daily beauty routine! With extensions, you can wake up with effortlessly gorgeous lashes without the need for mascara, curlers, or strip lashes.
To maintain your lashes, all you need to do is:
-
Schedule a fill every 2-3 weeks to keep them looking full.
-
Clean your lashes daily with a lash-safe cleanser.
-
Avoid rubbing your eyes and using oil-based products near your lashes.
