Who doesn't want to have fuller, curly and longer eyelashes?
I was not granted by long lashes..in fact, I have a very short and thin lashes.
And throughout my life, I always longed for those long, thick and curly lashes. If you happen to see my make up kit, you can see tons of mascara. But I guess mascaras really doesn't work with me all the time. Err, most of the time, especially when I am on a hurry in going to office. I have to curl and put mascara and so, it consumes so much time to my daily routine.
But few years back, I was able to discover that there is a service called Eyelash Extensions. Sounds intimidating, for others, it seems to be a "Beki" or awkward act of beautifying yourself. But hey! Don't you know that I have been doing Eyelash Extensions for about 2 years now? ^_^
The key to enjoying these extensions is the habit of taking care of it and your lashes.
I guess I tried visiting a number of eyelash extension salons... but this salon is so far, THE BEST for me. :)
Inside their salon (Reception Area) at Katipunan Loyola Heights branch:
Apologies I wasn't able to take a picture inside the salon >_<
The process will start by having a facial wash. It is very important to have a clean eye area, to avoid any obstruction when putting up the extensions. It is suggested to come there with no mascaras or any make ups on your eye area. What I do is I usually go there after taking a bath (for you will not be allowed to put any water on your eye area for the next 24 hrs.
Then after that your eyelashes will be assessed. Mine is only 8 mm, so if you want to have your extensions, maximum of 2 mm longer is the recommended length. I tried using once (11 and 12 mm) which is more than the recommended length, and it falls off easily. Trust me. If you want a fuller extensions (for mascara effect or thicker than the glamour), it is suggested to be 1 mm longer only so your true lashes can carry the weight of these extensions. :)
Then the technician will put micropore tapes on your lower lashes and upper eyelids. This is done to remove all possible obstructions while doing the process.
Each eyelash extensions is made of human hair which was individually glued to your existing lashes. So it is very important to keep your eyes closed for your eyes will feel the sting of the glue. Usually it would take 30 to 40 minutes or up to 1 hr, depending on the preference you choose. On my case, I am always doing the Glamour Look.
So here is the final look after the process!
Isn't it so cute? Now I don't have to worry about my eyelashes every morning.
I love it!!!
AFTERCARE:
1. Do not let your extensions get in contact with water 24 hours after the process.
2. Do not scratch your eyes all the time.
3. Do not put mascara on it.
4. Do not sleep on it (sleeping with pillow on top of the lashes). These lashes will fall off.
5. When washing your face, wash it gently especially on the eye part.
6. Brush carefully your eyelash extensions everyday with a clean mascara wand.
7. Do not pull off by yourself any lashes. It will ruin your true lashes. Have the eyelash technician do it for you.
These eyelash extensions can last for 4 to 8 weeks, depending on how you religiously do your aftercare.
