Why Eyelash Extensions are all the Rage this year

Every day, millions of women (and a lot of men) around the world are putting gobs of mascara on their eyelashes hoping to make them appear thicker, shinier, healthier and longer. Constant application of mascara can begin to weaken the natural lash and cause damage such as thinning and eyelash loss over time. This year, a new trend is becoming the hottest beauty accessory that helps you find relief from daily mascara application, eyelash extensions.

What are Eyelash Extensions?

Eyelash extensions are synthetic lashes that are attached by glue or another non-toxic adhesive to your natural lash. Temporary lashes typically are only worn for a short period, one to two days. This product can last up to two months if properly cared for and produce a longer, thicker eyelash. They are usually made out of three main materials to choose from depending on your budget such as:

• Poly Blend – this is a synthetic material typically made from a Chinese polyester blend. In warm weather, this material tends to relax more and become a little heavier in weight.
• Poly / Nylon Blend – this is material is sometimes known as “faux mink.” It is shinier and lighter in weight than the regular poly blend and can hold a curl. With its tapered lash tips, it is designed to mimic your natural eyelashes and create a soft look.
• Mink – this is a natural material for eyelash extensions made from animal hair and is the most expensive. Many celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Madonna and Oprah swear by this type of eyelash extension. They are extremely lightweight, soft and natural looking.

When you select the type of material you want for your eyelash extensions, the technicians at Salon Helena carefully attach each lash individually to your natural lashes. This process, the first time, can take up to 90 minutes, but is well worth it. The adhesive we use and our expert application ensures that your natural lashes will not be damaged in the process.
