Is eyelash extension harmful? The type of eyelashes is important

Eyelash extensions are a very popular and beloved beauty method in our daily lives. Eyelash extensions can make our eyelashes look long and thick, which is very beautiful. So are there any harms in eyelash extensions? The type of eyelashes is very important.

Is eyelash extension harmful?

Allergic reactions

Eyelash extensions require adhesive glue, and many people's skin will have allergic reactions to glue, resulting in red spots, erythema, and constant tearing. This is a common sense that must be understood before eyelash extensions are done. Therefore, before eyelash extensions are done, a skin test must be done to confirm that there is no allergy before proceeding.

Long inverted eyelashes

Many people have had eyelash transplants, and the results were very good at the time. However, as time goes by, after transplanting eyelashes, because the direction of eyelash growth is difficult to control, it is very easy for the upper eyelashes to grow downwards and the lower eyelashes to grow upwards. As the long eyelashes grow longer, they prick the eyes and grow into inverted eyelashes. Inverted eyelashes can make the eyes very uncomfortable, always feeling pricked, and tears will flow at any time. In the later stage, it may also cause inflammation in other parts of the eyes.

Conjunctivitis

When getting eyelash extensions, beauticians may remind you that the effect of eyelash extensions generally lasts for about three months, so many people think that it is just a temporary measure, and even if there is pain and discomfort, just bear with it and it will pass. Many eyelash extension beauticians will also emphasize that most women will feel itchy in the corners of their eyes after getting false eyelashes, but after a few days, the eyes will adapt and there will be no problem, and it will not cause harm to the eyes. However, experts emphasize that if you feel uncomfortable after getting eyelash extensions, you must not bear it. Because products of unknown origin for eyelash extensions are most likely to cause eye allergies and infections, Zhang Yalin, director of the Department of Ophthalmology at the First Affiliated Hospital of Tsinghua University, said that many women who received false eyelashes went to the hospital for an eye examination and learned that the false eyelashes caused eye infections and acute keratitis, and even the risk of blindness.

Blind eyelash extensions may cause corneal inflammation or conjunctivitis

False eyelashes are often not clean and can easily cause corneal inflammation, redness and swelling. Some irregular manufacturers use pig or dog hair, and some even use chemicals directly. Eyes are extremely sensitive organs. If used for a long time, it can cause blockage of the meibomian glands and chronic inflammation.

Eyelash loss

Many beauty salons use inferior glue and eyelash extensions. Some girls think they look beautiful at the time, but soon they find that their real eyelashes and false eyelashes fall off together, leaving their eyes bare without a single eyelash. In order to achieve a thicker effect, beauty salons often glue multiple false eyelashes on one eyelash. The increased weight is a great burden on the eyelashes, and over time, the eyelashes will fall off.

Inflammation of hair follicles

If the eyelash extensions are not done properly and the false eyelashes are glued to the follicles of the real eyelashes, the glue will penetrate into the follicles and clog the pores, causing inflammation of the follicles and, in severe cases, pus discharge, leading to trachoma and conjunctivitis.

Precautions for grafting false eyelashes

Before grafting

1. Anyone who does not have very sensitive eye skin or easily inflamed eyes can consider eyelash extensions.

2. The price of grafting varies according to the material and number of false eyelashes you choose. In terms of material, it is recommended to choose softer and thinner ones, which will cause less damage to your own eyelashes and can last longer after grafting. You can ask the technician to take out several false eyelashes she introduced, look at them and feel their softness yourself, and then make a decision.

3. When choosing the number of false eyelashes, don't just pursue density. If you graft multiple false eyelashes on one eyelash, it will cause great damage to your eyelashes. At present, many stores recommend single-root grafting to minimize damage to eyelashes. But if your eyelashes are sparse, you can consider grafting two on some eyelashes. After all, grafting is for the beauty after the completion. If it is sparse, the effect will definitely not satisfy you. These details should be carefully discussed with the technician first, and the choice should be based on the actual situation of the eyelashes.

4. In addition to the material and the number of lashes, you also need to choose the shape (extended eye end, extended eye end, and natural type), curling degree, and length (1cm, 1.1cm, etc.), which vary from person to person. Make a choice based on the characteristics of your eyes and the effect you want to present. Generally speaking, if your eyes are not long enough, you can choose the extended eye end type, which can not only adjust the eye shape well, but also enhance the sense of charm. If you have narrow double eyelids or a narrow distance between eyebrows and eyes, it is not recommended to choose overly curled ones. For professional women, too long false eyelashes will look unnatural and reduce your professionalism in the workplace. Therefore, when making a choice, make a rational judgment based on your own situation, and don't blindly pursue length, density, and curling.

After grafting

5. Do not get it wet within 4 hours after grafting. Water will affect the effectiveness of the glue and thus its durability.

6. After grafting eyelashes, you don't need to apply mascara. You can apply eye makeup normally, but when removing makeup, be sure not to use products containing oil. Therefore, please prepare makeup remover milk or makeup remover water in advance. When removing makeup, use a cotton swab to gently wipe to prevent the false eyelashes from falling off prematurely due to rubbing.

7. When you find that your false eyelashes are about to fall off, do not pull them with your hands, as this will greatly damage your eyelashes. You can use a comb to comb your eyelashes and wait for them to fall off naturally. After about 2 weeks, if the eyelashes fall off severely, you can go to the store and let the technician remove them with professional methods.

8. Finally, I would like to remind everyone not to graft eyelashes too frequently. Even if you choose the best products (false eyelashes and glue), when the false eyelashes fall off, it will damage the real eyelashes. This is also the reason why many people find that their eyelashes are not as thick as before after grafting. The quality of the grafting effect has a lot to do with whether your eyelashes are thick. If you graft several times frequently in a short period of time, it is impossible to achieve the perfect effect at the beginning. To achieve true beauty, you can't ignore the maintenance of your own eyelashes! Each grafting interval is 1 month, giving the eyelashes a chance to recuperate.
