Eyelashes are naturally intended to protect your eyes from sweat and dust. However, this natural protection gives attractiveness and sexuality to a woman’s face. Long, curled eyelashes make your eyes look bigger and more expressive.
Traditionally, eyelashes have been lengthened in a variety of ways, and in the 21st century humans have learned to lengthen them. Here are 10 fun facts about eyelash extensions.
- The idea of eyelash extensions first took shape in 1916. The famous Hollywood director D.W. Griffith offered the actress Seena Owen gorgeous eyelash extensions. They were primitively made by a local human hair wig maker. Various efforts were made to lengthen the eyelashes in the 60s of the XX century, but they were all unsuccessful.
A technique close to modern ones was developed in 2004. In Korea, they come up with “semi-permanent” eyelashes. Artificial eyelashes were fixed to each natural eyelash using strong adhesive. Eyelash extensions also were mastered in Vietnam, from where the method spread throughout the planet. - Natural eyelashes grow to a limited length (it varies from woman to woman), fall out and are replaced by new growth, just like the hair on your head. If eyelash extensions are installed and cared for correctly, they will grow in with your natural lashes and remain attached to the lashes when they fall out.
- A full set of eyelash extensions are not all the same length. The shape of your lash line tapers off — longer in the center and shorter on the outside, and so do the extensions. Following the design of natural lashes creates natural looking extensions!
- Eyelash extensions are not “one size fits all”. Every woman’s eyelashes are different and eyelash extensions must be customized for each woman to be the right length and thickness to match their appearance, and ensure the health of their natural lashes. Not everyone can or should get super long or super thick eyelash extensions.
- Natural lashes continually grow and fall out at different times so your eyelash extensions will grow too! There is no definite time limit for eyelash extensions to last, because the eyelashes will fall out along with the original eyelashes they were installed on when they grow and this time varies. Due to the different growth cycles and stages, the best estimate is that you will lose 1–5 natural lashes per day, including extensions and non-extension lashes. Frequently replaced lashes will replace fallen lashes to maintain a full appearance.
- Eyelash extension adhesive is designed to create a permanent bond between the extension and the natural lash. It is nearly impossible to remove extensions yourself without damaging your natural lashes. See a professional if you need removal!
- You SHOULD be watching your natural lashes and extensions fall out together. This is normal. If your extensions fall off before the natural lash is enough, the adhesive bond wasn’t strong or maintenance instructions were not followed correctly.
