Eyelash Industry News & Insights | ESSI LASH

In this ultimate guide, we'll cover everything you need to know about cat eyelash extensions, from how they're applied to how to care for them.

Lash extensions, when skillfully applied by professionals, should not damage your natural lashes. Properly done extensions are lightweight and adhere to individual lashes without causing harm. However, poorly applied extensions, which may be cheaper but lack quality, can lead to problems like breakage or thinning.

Yes, you can wear mascara with eyelash extensions, but only under specific conditions. Mascara is suitable for classic eyelash extensions, where one extension is applied to each natural lash. However, it should be avoided on volume or hybrid lash extensions as it can damage the fans and make them clumpy.

To protect eyelash extensions while sleeping, the key is to minimize friction and pressure on the lashes. The best position is to sleep on your back, and using a silk or satin pillowcase can also help reduce friction. Avoid sleeping on your stomach or with your face pressed against the pillow, as this can cause the lashes to fall out.
