If you are someone who is considering eyelash extensions for the first time, it is common to get confused amidst so many varying opinions. In that case, a list of pros and cons usually helps most people make the right decision.
In this article, we will take a look at some of the most common pros and cons of using false lashes. With this information, you will be able to decide for yourself whether you need eyelash extensions or not without wasting your time.
Here is all you need to know about using eyelash extensions
Pros:
- Ideal for No Make-Up Looks
If you are short on time or you just want to go with no makeup look, using eyelash extensions can help you a lot in this case. False lashes instantly make your eyes appear larger and more appealing.
They can help you save time that you spend in front of the mirror doing excessive makeup. By using these lashes, you enhance your natural look without having to apply unnecessary makeup.
- Pain-Free Procedure
Lash extensions are very easy to apply and remove. Their application is pain-free and non-invasive. With a little practice, you can even do it at home. However, it is advised that you contact a professional for finding the lashes with the right length and weight for your eyes.
- Variety
With these lashes, you can change your entire look with very little time and effort. You can go for Kitten eye, squirrel, Kim-K, cat-eye, etc., based on your personality and the type of event you are attending.
You are also free to change the curl, thickness, and length of the eyelash extensions to make them suit your face best.
- No Eye-Makeup Accidents
We know how frustrating it can be when you mess up your eyeliner or mascara and there is no time for you to redo your entire makeup for that special evening.
With a false eyelash, there will be no need for you to worry about messing your eye makeup. These lashes alone can make you look unique, and more attractive which is all you need.
Cons
- They Can Cause Allergies
For some people, the eyelash adhesive can cause allergies in the form of styes, swelling, or redness of the eyes. This is why it is a great idea to ask your professional to perform an allergy test before applying the lashes.
You can also use a lash serum that’s vegan to take better care of your lashes. Be aware of the symptoms of allergies and immediately contact the lash tech expert in such situations to get your lashes removed.
- Shedding of Natural lashes
Applying false lashes wrongly or using lashes that are incompatible with your eyes can cause damage to your natural lashes and the hair follicles. If you are not careful, you can destroy the foundation of your natural lashes and that makes them fall prematurely.
- Cost
The false eyelash treatment is a bit expensive and if you are someone who is out a lot, this will take a huge toll on your budget. A typical eyelash extension treatment costs about 164 dollars and lasts for about 3 to 4 weeks. So, if you are thinking about getting it, remember that you will have to be pretty flexible with your budget.
- They Need Regular Maintenance
If you want your eyelash extensions to last longer, you will need to clean and brush these on a regular basis. Their delicate design can be easily ruined without proper care and that is the last thing you want to happen to these expensive products.
Final Words
These are some of the most common pros and cons of using eyelash extensions that you should know. If you are someone who has short lashes or who doesn’t like doing extra makeup, you can definitely use these lashes to enhance your visual appeal.
However, if you already possess healthy lashes, then we suggest you cultivate habits that promote their better look and strength.
We hope this information has helped you a little in making a decision about using false lashes and we wish you the very best in taking good care of this important aspect of your physical appearance.
