Lash extensions have become very fashionable recently and for good reason. The semi permanent lashes that are now used are very natural looking, look fantastic and won't fall off at an embarrassing moments. So what happens when you have eye lash extensions?

A reputable salon will ensure that you have had a test done prior to treatment to ensure you aren't allergic to the glue used to keep your eye lashes in place. After a day or two you will be able to go ahead with your treatment. I have been to several places for eye lash extensions and they all seem to follow the same process although only the most professional insisted on a patch test prior to treatment. What you should also know, and isn't always stated, is that you should remove your contact lenses before treatment and leave them out for a few hours afterwards.

I shall discuss the treatment I had at my favourite salon, the one where I will keep going back as I get the best service and value for money. When you go for your treatment you will either lie down on a bed in a warm, quiet room or sit back in a big comfy reclining chair. You will then have your lower lashes gently taped down to avoid any sticking together of the upper and lower lashes. After this individual "La femme" lashes are attached using super strong glue to your own natural lashes. Depending on the look you are after you can have every single lash extended or just one in three for a more natural look. This is obviously a time consuming process, but again, the salon where I go is so experienced that I can get a full set of lashes done in an hour. I have been to other salons where it has taken over two hours to get the same result! So make sure you ask the therapist how long it is going to take before hand. You don't want to have to rush off mid treatment to collect the kids from school with half your eyelashes done do you?

After the required amount of lashes have been applied you will see that your eyes are bigger, more youthful and one hundred percent more attractive. You will probably be surprised by how comfy the lashes are and you can go swimming, have a shower etc without them falling out! Leave them for around twenty four hours though before wetting them and when you clean your face use an oil free make up remover.

After the treatment you can go without mascara although I have to confess I love mascara so I still wear it but have done with the DreamWeave mascara that strengthens your natural lashes at the same time as enhancing your lash extensions. Most reputable salons will stock this as it is incredibly popula
