Debunking Common Lash Extension Myths
Lash extensions have grown in popularity, yet many myths and misconceptions still surround them. At Flaunt & Flutter Lashery, We specialize in creating natural, wispy, and effortless lash enhancements, ensuring that every client leaves feeling confident and informed. Let’s separate fact from fiction and clear up the biggest misconceptions about lash extensions!
Myth #1: Lash Extensions Damage Your Natural Lashes
The Truth: When applied correctly by a trained professional, lash extensions do not damage your natural lashes. The key to lash health is proper application, correct isolation, and choosing the right weight and length for your natural lashes. Damage often occurs when clients go to untrained artists or try to remove extensions themselves.
✔️ Tip: Always book with a licensed and certified lash artist (like me!) who prioritizes lash health and uses high-quality products
Myth #2: Lash Extensions Are Painful
The Truth: A lash extension appointment should be a relaxing experience, not a painful one. You may feel a slight tickle as I apply the extensions, but there should be no discomfort. If you ever feel stinging or burning, it could indicate that too much adhesive is being used or that your eyes are not fully closed during the procedure.
✔️ Tip: Communicate with your lash artist during your appointment. If you feel any discomfort, let them know immediately!
Myth #3: Lash Extensions Require High Maintenance
The Truth: Lash extensions actually save you time in your beauty routine! With proper care, you can wake up looking effortlessly put together. Maintenance involves gentle cleansing, avoiding oil-based products, and getting refills every 2-3 weeks to keep your lashes looking full.
✔️ Tip: Invest in a lash-friendly cleanser and a spoolie brush to keep your lashes fresh between appointments.
Myth #4: You Can’t Get Your Lashes Wet
The Truth: This used to be the case when older adhesives were used, but with today’s advanced lash technology and the use of our LED UV adhesive, you can get your lashes wet immediately after your appointment without affecting retention. In fact, keeping your lashes clean helps prevent buildup and premature shedding.
✔️ Tip: Use a gentle foaming lash cleanser and avoid rubbing your eyes to keep your extensions looking their best.
Myth #5: Lash Extensions Look Too Dramatic
The Truth: Lash extensions are fully customizable! Whether you love a natural look or prefer full, dramatic volume, We tailor each set to your unique eye shape, face structure, and personal style.
✔️ Tip: During your consultation, bring inspo photos of your preferred lash style, and I’ll customize a set that enhances your beauty naturally.
