There is a common myth that lash extensions destroy natural lashes — but in reality, professional lash extensions do NOT damage natural lashes.

1. The Importance of Technique
Damage occurs only when the artist uses:
too-heavy extensions
poor isolation
incorrect adhesive usage
bad hygiene practices
A certified and trained lash artist chooses the correct weight, curl, and length based on your natural lash health.
2. Natural Lash Cycle Continues Normally
Your natural lashes shed every 6–8 weeks. Extensions are applied on top of these lashes and shed along with them. When applied properly, extensions do not interfere with the natural growth cycle.
3. Lightweight, Modern Lashes Are Safe
High-quality, modern lash fibers are extremely soft and lightweight. They are designed to protect the natural lash while enhancing its beauty.
4. Client Behavior Matters Too
Picking, rubbing, or pulling extensions can cause damage — just like pulling your own natural lashes. Following aftercare instructions keeps your lashes safe and healthy.
5. Certified Professionals = Safe Results
When your artist is trained, uses quality products, and follows correct procedures, lash extensions are completely safe.
Beautiful lash extensions + proper technique = healthy natural lashes.
