A popular and fashionable procedure today for eyelash extensions is a great way to always look attractive to girls who can not boast of lavish eyelashes. However, this method can be called quite radical and, moreover, requires a lot of financial costs. Therefore, many are wondering whether it is worthwhile to increase eyelashes or not, whether lash extension benefits or harms. In this article, considering the pros and cons of eyelash extension, let's try to figure out whether this method justifies itself.
Positive effect of eyelash extension
Eyelash extension is an excellent alternative to the daily dyeing of eyelashes with ink, which for some girls becomes a real salvation in solving the problem of insufficiently long and thick eyelashes.
The advantages of this method include:
- no need for daily use of mascara and make-up before bedtime, which saves time and effort;
- in comparison with mascara, the use of which restricts access to the pool, beach, sauna, baths, etc., the extended eyelashes are more resistant to moisture and ultraviolet radiation, so when they are used, all this is allowed;
- the possibility of visual adjustment of the shape and size of the eyes with the help of extended eyelashes;
- individual selection of color, length, bend, denseness of eyelashes, taking into account the wishes of the client due to a wide range of eyelashes for building;
- the possibility of an additional decoration of eyelashes (for example, rhinestones) for a special occasion or a glamorous party.
Harm from eyelash extension
If you do not have medical contraindications to this procedure, and it is conducted in professional conditions with the use of high-quality materials, then no harm to eyelashes, or to health as a whole, can cause build-up. The damage from eyelash extension and negative consequences are possible if you ignore such contraindications:
- eye diseases (conjunctivitis, blepharitis, involuntary lacrimation, etc.);
- propensity to allergic reactions;
- predisposition of the mucous membrane to inflammation and swelling.
The disadvantages of eyelash extension are mainly related to the fact that for the sake of beauty women have to go to some "victims". For example, you need to change some habits and get used to some of the accompanying troubles in the future.
Cons of eyelash extension
- the need for careful care for artificial eyelashes , which requires gentle treatment and excludes the mechanical effect on them (you can not rub your eyes with your hands, a towel);
- lovers of sleeping on the stomach should abandon this position in favor of sleep lying on the back (otherwise the cilia simply break);
- lenses and extensible eyelashes mutually exclude each other - if you wear lenses, you will have to give them up, since daily manipulations with them at times reduce the term of "service" of artificial eyelashes;
- should be increased accuracy with the use of eye shadow,
trying not to touch the line of eyelash growth; - Eyelash extension requires regular updating from the master (every 2-3 weeks) and associated financial investments;
- It is impossible to use fatty creams and oil-containing products for the skin around the eyes, as well as eye make-up remedies.
Summarizing, it should be noted that eyelash extension is an effective and safe procedure. But it justifies itself only if it is done professionally, and all the restrictions connected with it will not cause excessive trouble.
