If your eyes are the window to the soul, your eyelashes are the beautiful curtains that capture the attention of newfound friends and acquaintances. At Heart of Texas Lashes, we understand that your eyelashes should always be in the best shape possible.
That’s why we offer only the most quality and beautiful eyelash extensions for our beloved clients. Sometimes, however, people believe that they can replicate the work that we do through DIY techniques and online tutorials. While this can work at times, it’s still a huge risk to your look and your health.
Here are four DIY lash mistakes that can easily be avoided with an appointment at our luxury salon.
Sticking Eyelash Extensions Directly on the Skin
One of the biggest DIY issues we’ve seen is when a guest has applied their eyelash extensions directly to the skin. Extensions must be applied on the eyelashes and not the skin of the eyelid. This is an incorrect and harmful practice that could lead to severe irritation if one is allergic to a specific glue.
Although eyelash glue is essential to a professional extension experience, a professional technician will be able to properly test the glue and ensure that your skin doesn’t experience an allergic reaction.
Examples of glue-related allergic reactions include:
- Puffiness
- Itching
- Redness
- Blurred Vision
Improper Length and Weight Ratio
When it comes to lashes, yes, sometimes going bolder and bigger is better. Just ensure that your natural lashes are strong enough to bear the weight of your new extensions.
Excessive weight on your eyelashes due to too thick extensions can lead to permanent damage when it comes to the future growth of your natural lashes.
Similar issues can occur if your lash extensions are too long. Your natural lashes should hold up at least half of your extensions. If they aren’t your lashes could permanently become droopy and twisted.
We carefully assess the strength of your lashes and make sure that your extensions are applied correctly and safely, in order to keep your new look comfortable and long-lasting.
Too Much Glue
Although glue is a must in eyelash application, too much glue is never the way to achieve a gorgeous eyelash look. Not only can the glue clump up into nasty gobs, but it also takes more time to dry.
Also, excessive glue can lead to some of the other issues we’ve previously discussed. It can drastically increase the weight of your lashes, and also puts your skin at risk of severe irritation as the glue begins to dry and spread out.
