Do Eyelash Extensions Damage Real Lashes?

Eyelash extension in Islamabad is one of the most popular beauty enhancement procedures. People who are tired of wearing false lashes and mascara and daily struggle to look presentable, lash extensions have made each of their days easier. With minimal effort, you look great, but many individuals have this common concern: “Do eyelash extensions damage real lashes?”

If done by a professional and you have cared for them as instructed, they do not cause any damage. To know further regarding this issue, continue reading this blog below.

What Are Eyelash Extensions?

Eyelash extensions are semi-permanent synthetic, silk, or mink fibers applied individually to your natural eyelashes using a specialized adhesive.

Do Eyelash Extensions Damage Real Lashes?

There is nothing wrong with false eyelashes or eyelash extensions; the technique is what matters. If done by a professional and qualified lash technician using suitable size and weight lashes, planned as per your face structure, and a safe medical-grade adhesive is used, then your natural lashes will be the same as before, but one must take care of lash extension as per the instructions and get them removed professionally to avoid tugging and plucking natural lashes.

Common Causes of Lash Damage:

• Heavy or overly thick extensions.
• Poor quality adhesive.
• Incorrect application by an untrained technician.
• Extensions attached to multiple natural lashes at once.
• Pulling or rubbing the eyes frequently.
• Sleeping face down or on your lashes.
• Not following the proper aftercare routine.
• Leaving extensions on too long without refills or removal.
• Using oil-based makeup removers near lashes.
• Improper or forceful removal of extensions.

Signs Your Natural Lashes Are Damaged:

1. Bald Spots and Gaps:

When you see uneven spacing, empty areas or a dense lashing line that suddenly appears to be sparse, it is a sure sign of premature lashing out or lashing breakage at the root. 

2. Brittleness and Breakage:

A healthy lash will be flexible and smooth. If your lashes are hard, rough or feel like straw to the touch, they are very dry. You might also see lashes snappin’ halfway down the shaft as opposed to falling away from the root. 

3. Excessive Shedding:

It is a natural loss of between 1 and 5 lashes a day. If you have several lashes on your pillowcase, or if your lash extensions are falling out at an extreme rate, combining with your natural lashes, then your follicles are being stressed too much.

4. Unusual Direction and Twisting:

Natural hair that is growing in strange directions or has a crisscrossed effect, or the hair cuticle or hair follicles looks kinked and downward, indicates some physical damage caused by the misuse of curling straps, heavy false hair, or poor application.

5. Discoloration:

Lashes that are healthy will be even in color and will be shiny and natural looking. Any product buildup or chemical over-processing (bad lash lift) shows as a rust colored tint, faded colors or any peculiar dark spots along the hair shaft. 

6. Chronic Irritation:

Eyelids can become inflamed, itchy or red, often due to damage. If you notice that your lashes are stinging and swelling, or feel heavy or painful on your eyelids, it means that the roots of your natural lashes are being irritated by glues, trapped makeup or by tension.

How to Protect Your Natural Lashes:

• Go to a Certified Professional.
• Choose light extensions.
• Avoid rubbing your eyes.
• Clean gently with lash-safe cleanser.
• Keep oils away from lashes.
• Brush lashes daily.

• Get them removed professionally.
