So I recently attended a
Lash extension course by Olawunmi Certfied Master Lash/Brow specialist (www.Lash-On.com) and anytime I tell
people about lash extensions I can see a bewildered look on their faces because
of what we know as individual lash fixing in Nigeria.
This is because of the way clustered
lashes are fixed in Nigeria a lot of women (myself included) are not fans. Let
me not even go to the hair bonding glue section….
Imagine doing away with
the eyelash curlers, the mascara wand, the smudges, clumps and streaks and the
struggle to remove it all a few hours later. This treatment can give you the freedom to swim, workout, shed a tear (without
your tears turning black lol) and still have beautiful, thick lashes.
Semi permanent eyelash extensions are individual strands of lash-like hair made from synthetic
material, silk or even mink. A salon technician will apply adhesive to each extension and attach it to one of your natural eyelashes.
Extensions are flexible, so they look natural, but they are strong enough to
hold their shape and last as long as the eyelash stays in the lid.
The training was for two days and i enjoyed every bit of it (Thanks to our Lash Mama)
The first day we were introduced to our kits and worked on mannequin heads

The next day we got to work on real people, the best part was we worked on each other (big smiles).
The great part about fixing this extensions is that the client gets to lie down, relax with eyes closed and most times sleep off. It was a very nice experience. absolutely no pain or watering of the eyes.

Semi permanent eyelash extensions Life Cycle
Eyelashes have a natural
life cycle of 3 to 6 weeks. They fall out and grow back again. Because of this,
your eyelash extensions will only last as long as each lash’s life cycle. If
you intend to keep the extensions in for a long period of time, you will have
to go back to the salon for touch ups. The technician will attach new
extensions to the new growth so that your lashes don’t have patchy gaps in
them. If you have had the extensions put in for a special event like a wedding
or holiday abroad, you can have them removed after a few weeks.
Semi permanent eyelash
extensions are easy to look after. You should not use any oil-based make up
remover or creams on them, as these can make the adhesive loosen and the
extensions will fall off. Rubbing your eyes is a no-no, as the extensions can
loosen and fall off or break. Other than those precautions, your extensions are
care-free.
The beauty of semi
permanent eyelash extensions is that they feel like your natural eyelashes.
They are so light you won’t even feel them on your eyelid, and because they
look natural, no-one will notice they aren’t real.
As the saying goes, your
eyes are the window to your soul. Frame them with thick, long and full lashes
for big, beautiful eyes that everyone will notice, with semi permanent eyelash
extensions.
