#LashTipTuesday: 5 signs that your Eyelash Extensions could be better

I've created this list to help you identify what shouldn't happen at your lash appointment or to your lashes.


1. When brushing your lash extensions causes discomfort When this happens it's a sign that too much glue has been used and perhaps your lashes are stuck together. This can lead to lash damage and breakage. You should be able to brush your lashes daily with no problems. Too much glue means poor isolation of your lashes during application.

2. Your lash extensions poke, twist around and irritate your eyes This happens when a lash extension hasn't been properly applied to your natural lash or the extensions are too long causing the extension to spin, twist, droop and turn. This means your extensions will sit every which way but nicely - poking you in the eye in the process. 3. The application process burns your eyes, long after it's over! I've had many new clients tell me they've had bad experiences with glue fumes burning their eyes badly during, and even after the application has ended. This isn't normal! Slight eye watering can occur, but constant discomfort afterwards is unusual - the process should be relaxing, pleasant and comfortable.

4.  Your lash extensions only last a few days to a week! This happens when not enough lash extensions have been applied. If you think you've found the cheapest technician then the chances are they aren't spending enough time during the appointment to provide a long lasting, full lash effect. A good lash application should take at least 1.5 to 2 hours. A full set of lashes should mean they’re applied to all your natural lashes (those that are long and healthy enough). If the application is shorter than 1.5 hours then you're likely receiving a quick treatment that will start to show wear within a week. By the second week, all your lashes will be gone. Remember you will lose 2 to 5 lashes a day naturally, so do the math. Keep in mind that if your natural lashes are very sparse, delicate and fragile your extensions may not last as long as other people's do. Unfortunately, lashes can only accentuate what you have naturally. 5. Your lashes aren't extensions, they're lash flares or clusters This is the worst type of "lash extensions".  Never should clusters or flares be applied with professional eyelash extension glue. Lash breakage and infections are common when lash flares are applied and not to mention the look is not desirable as your lashes appear more like spiders than the pretty, luscious lashes you should have.
