Removing GlideLiner : Removing Length & Volume and Volumizing Mascara: Flares or Lash Clusters (Occasionally misrepresented as lash extensions)
Xtreme Lashes® Eyelash Extensions:
*If you book an appointment for eyelash extensions make sure you are getting single synthetic Xtreme Lashes® Eyelash Extensions and not flares or ‘individuals’.
Xtreme Lashes® Eyelash Extensions are single
strands of synthetic eyelashes that are curved to replicate a
natural eyelash. They are applied to individual eyelashes, one lash
at a time, for a natural, elegant and luscious look.
The following list highlights the major problems
and side-effects that result from applying
extensions that are either too thick or too long
for the natural lash they are attached to:
Cancer/Chemotherapy Recovery: Cancer patients can begin having Xtreme Lashes® Eyelash Extensions applied once chemo has completed and lashes are beginning to grow in again. During this initial growth stage the lashes are weaker and thinner than they originally were. Xtreme Lashes® Eyelash Extensions Thin (.10mm) lashes can be applied during this stage to thicken the lash line
without causing stress to these weakened lashes. As stronger lashes start to grow, Xtreme Lashes® Eyelash Extensions Thick (.15mm) lashes can added for more fullness. For cancer patients whose lashes are growing back sporadically, Xtreme Lashes® Eyelash Extensions Stylists can use special techniques to compensate for any gaps.
>Alopecia: Xtreme Lashes® Eyelash Extensions should only be applied once lash growth has resumed. As with Cancer recovery patients, special techniques can be used to add additional fullness during the regrowth period and to compensate for any gaps.
Trichotillomania: Individuals with Trichotillomania (an impulse disorder characterized by the urge to pull eyelashes and other hair out) do not make good candidates for Xtreme Lashes® Eyelash Extensions unless and until they have received effective treatment. Extensions may provide a stronger urge for these individuals to pull at their lashes if they are
not undergoing treatment.
Skin Sensitivity: Although our adhesives are developed to be safe for use on the skin, Xtreme Lashes® Eyelash Extensions are never applied to the skin therefore allergic reactions due to contact with our adhesives are rare. Individuals with allergies to other cosmetics or fragrances may experience some sensitivity to ingredients in some of the other
materials used to apply Xtreme Lashes® Eyelash Extensions such as our Anti-Wrinkle Gel Patches. We recommend those with known sensitivities undergo a patch test on the Gel Patches prior to application. If necessary, Lash Stylists can apply medical tape under the eyes during the procedure instead.
False Strip Lashes
Traditional false lashes are made up of numerous human or synthetic eyelashes attached together in one pre-made strip. Strips are adhered with a temporary adhesive on the skin above the upper lash line.
Although readily available and relatively easy to use, strips are the least natural looking and possibly most damaging of the eyelash enhancement options. They should not be applied frequently or worn long term. Doing so can lead to infections, blocked glands, premature lash loss and even permanent lash baldness due to follicle damage from the adhesives.
The adhesives used can also loosen from perspiration or contact with water causing potentially embarrassing situations.
Cluster lashes, or flares, typically consist of groups of 5-8 blunt-end lashes knotted together. They can be applied either directly to the skin (between natural lashes) or on top of a grouping of existing lashes.
They are more natural in appearance than strips but carry many of the same concerns (the same skin adhesives are used when attaching to the eyelid) as well as a few additional ones. Several natural lashes are typically glued together to support the weight of a single flare. If left in place for a period of time, this will cause faster growing natural
lashes to prematurely pull out slower growing lashes from the root because they are adhered together. This can result in permanent damage and lash baldness if done repeatedly.
Individuals (Often misrepresented as lash extensions)
‘Individuals’ are synthetic lashes that are stacked one on top of the other and attached at the base, often with a knot to allow for fast and easy adhesion. Typically there are three lashes in each grouping with the longest on the bottom and the shortest on the top attached together. Like flares, individuals can be attached to either the skin, if they
are knotted, or the natural lashes.
Individuals have the same concerns as clusters or flares (see above) with regards to weight when applied to the lashes and skin irritation when applied directly to the eyelid.
Xtreme Lashes® Eyelash Extensions uses the safest medical grade eyelash extension
adhesives.
2. Eyelash extensions are not “one size fits all”. Everyone’s lashes
are different and eyelash extensions should be customized to each
individual for the correct length and thickness to suit their look
and ensure the health of their natural lashes. Not everyone can or
should get super long or super thick eyelash extensions!
3. A full set of eyelash extensions is not all one length. The shape
of your lash line tapers – it’s longer in the center and shorter on
the outsides and your extensions should be too. Following the design
of the natural lashes creates natural-looking extensions!
4. Natural lashes grow to a finite length (different for each
person), fall out and are replaced by new growth, just like the
hairs on your head. When eyelash extensions are applied and
maintained correctly, they will grow out with your natural lash and
still be attached to the lash when it sheds.
5. Natural lashes are constantly growing in and falling out at
different times so your eyelash extensions will too! There is no set
amount of time that eyelash extensions will last because they will
shed with the natural lash they are attached to when it grows out
and that time varies. Due to growth cycles and different stages, the
best estimate is that you will shed 1-5 natural lashes per day –
including those with extensions and those without. Frequent
re-lashes will replace those that have shed to maintain a full look.
6. You SHOULD be seeing your natural lashes and extensions fall out
together. This is normal. If your extensions fall off before the
natural lash, the adhesive bond wasn’t strong enough or maintenance
instructions were not followed correctly.
7. You CAN wear mascara on eyelash extensions but it MUST be
OIL-FREE. You shouldn’t need to, but you can. (Not all products
labeled “oil-free” are truly oil-free – they only have to be 70%
oil-free to be labeled that way, according to the FDA. Your best bet
for extension care is to purchase products specifically designed for
eyelash extensions.)
8. Eyelash extension adhesive is designed to create a permanent bond
between the extension and the natural lash. It is nearly impossible
to remove extensions yourself without damaging your natural lashes.
