Do artificial eyelashes damage natural ones? Facts and myths about artificial eyelashes

False eyelashes do not damage natural ones, provided that the extension procedure is performed correctly using high-quality products. Problems arise when the procedure is conducted improperly – using poor materials, incorrect application, or selecting lashes that are too heavy for delicate natural hairs can lead to them breaking and falling out. The impression of having 'worse' lashes after removing false ones is often a matter of perspective – we get used to the wow effect, and our own lashes seem shorter, even though they haven't actually changed. Eyelash extensions are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures, and concerns about the safety of natural hairs prevent many women from making their first visit to the salon.

Let's start with the fact that we are considering eyelash extension procedure in a beauty salon here. What factors contribute to our fear of degrading our eyelashes?

We easily get used to luxury.

Extended lashes give a wow effect, which lasts for 2-3 weeks, and if we refill the lashes, it lasts even longer. We quickly get used to the good and to long lashes that we see in the mirror every day for a long time. It's all a matter of perspective. When we have a comparison to long lashes, even our unchanged lashes seem shorter by a fraction of a millimeter.

Trust the professionals

A good specialist is a treasure. Indeed, in the case of this procedure, poorly performed treatment can damage our natural lashes. The use of poor-quality products as well as improper eyelash attachment can damage both our lashes and lead to other, more serious health consequences. However, when the procedure is carried out following all the correct procedures, we do not need to worry about our lashes.

Caring for the lashes

This point is extremely important. Proper care of the lashes not only prolongs the "lifespan" of the additional lashes but also often improves the condition of the natural ones. This raises the question of the reason. And the reason is quite simple. People who do not use the described procedures usually do not wash and comb their lashes daily, and they often burden them with mascara. All of this has a negative impact.

Wearing lashes that are too long

Properly chosen, non-exaggerated lashes should not overly burden our natural hairs. However, if we want to attach lashes that are too long, thick, and heavy to thin and delicate lashes, we must be prepared for the fact that our natural lashes may weaken, fall out, or break. Specialists from Ambasada Urody in Warsaw unanimously argue that a properly performed procedure using the highest quality products should not weaken natural lashes. Therefore, if you dream of beautiful, long lashes, trust well-trained specialists and see for yourself how much charm a few new lashes can add.
