Lash extensions have become a beauty staple--but with popularity comes misinformation. At Lashaesthetics, lash health is our top priority, and we're here to set the record straight.
If you've ever hesitated to try lash extensions because of something you heard, this post is for you.
Myth #1: Lash Extensions Damage Your Natural Lashes
Truth: When applied correctly by a licensed lash artist, extensions do not harm your natural lashes. Damage only occurs when lashes are too heavy, applied with improper technique, or removed improperly.
Myth #2: Lash Extensions Hurt or Feel Uncomfortable
Truth: Lash extensions should feel weightless. If you experience pain, burning, or itching, it's a sign of poor application or a reaction to adhesive.
Myth #3: You Have to Lat Your Natural Lashes ''Breath''
Truth: Lashes don't ''breath''. They get nutrients from your bloodstream, not the air. If your extensions are applied safely and maintained with regular fills, there's no need for breaks unless you choose to take one.
Myth #4: Lash Extensions Are One-Size-Fits-All
Truth: Everyone's eye shape, lash length, and lifestyle are different. That's why we customize
every set-from curl type to lash density-to bring out the best in your natural beauty.
The Bottom Line
Lash extensions are safe, effective, and empowering-when done right. Let go of the myths and book with a lash artist who cares about both your beauty and your lash health.
