The Price of Improper Lash Extensions: 5 Ways They Damage Your Natural Lashes

Do you love the look of long, luscious, luxorious lashes but worry about the damage they might cause to your natural lashes? It's a valid concern. While lash extensions can make your eyes look amazing, improper application and care can cause some serious harm. Here are five ways that bad lash extensions can ruin your natural lashes: Improper Technique: When lash extensions are applied using incorrect technique, the weight of the extensions can pull on your natural lashes, leading to premature shedding. Additionally, if the adhesive is not applied correctly, it can cause irritation or even an allergic reaction which can cause itching, swelling, and redness around the eyes and lash line.

Poor Hygiene: Hygiene is essential when it comes to lash extensions. If your lash artist is not using clean tools or if the salon is not properly sanitized, you may be at risk of infection. If the lash extensions are applied too close to the skin, it can cause irritation or infection. This can lead to redness, swelling, and even pus-filled bumps around the lash line.

Excessive Weight: If the extensions are too heavy, they can cause your natural lashes to break or even fall out. This is especially true if the extensions are longer or thicker than what your natural lashes can support.

Permanent damage: Over time, repeatedly applying improper lash extensions can cause permanent damage to your natural lashes. This can lead to sparse, weak, and brittle lashes that may never fully recover.

Improper Removal: Removing lash extensions can be tricky. If the adhesive is not dissolved correctly, your natural lashes may be damaged in the process. This is why it's essential to have your lash extensions removed by a professional.
