Eyelash extensions are applied individually to your natural lashes using a special adhesive and tweezers. Here's a more detailed breakdown:
The Application Process
The core of eyelash extension application involves meticulously attaching individual extensions to your existing lashes.
- Preparation: The lash artist will first clean and prepare your natural eyelashes.
- Adhesive Application: The lash artist carefully dips the end of the eyelash extension into a specially formulated glue adhesive.
- Attachment: Using special tweezers, the lash artist isolates a single natural lash and attaches the extension to it.
- Individual Application: As a general rule, one extension is applied per natural lash. However, for a more dramatic "mega volume" look, multiple extensions may be applied to a single natural lash.
