Gorgeous, full lashes are something that a lot of people dream of having. Now, people who are unable to have the luxurious lashes that they wish for can have them with the help of extensions. Eyelash extensions help create full, beautiful lashes and are carefully created out of synthetic fibers that mimic real, natural lashes, but only better. These gorgeous lashes are not applied directly to the skin but are applied with an adhesive to the eyes natural lash line. While the lashes themselves are safe they should be applied by a professional to keep damage to the eye at a minimum. They should also be used for any type of removal procedure.

Eyelash extensions are only meant to be worn for three to four weeks at the most. People may choose have the lash extensions that are lost filled in after that time, or they may choose to have an entire eyelash extensions removal procedure performed. Filling in of the lash extensions is necessary as natural lashes tend to shed often, and the extension is attached to those lashes. Because the eye is such a sensitive organ a professional is highly recommended for the eyelash extensions removal process.

Professionals have an arsenal of tools and products on hand to remove lash extensions safely. They may use a product that has oil in it. When an oil based product is applied to the area where the adhesive was used during the placement of the lashes it loosens them. The professional could also use steam to loosen the adhesive that holds the lashes in place. After the extension is loose the professional will use small tools such as tweezers to gently take the lash extensions off. Clients that try to remove the lashes themselves risk pulling out natural lashes. They also risk the danger of eye damage. After the removal process the professional will place a warm towel over the eyes to keep irritation low. Rubbing of the eyes will need to be avoided after the eyelash extensions removal process as the product used to remove the lashes may irritate the eyes.
