Lash Extensions 101: How Long They Last, How They’re Done, and More!
Whether you're considering your first set or you're just curious about the process, this blog has got you covered. From how long they last to whether they're halal, let’s break it down!
How Long Do Lash Extensions Last?
One of the top questions I get is, “How long do lash extensions actually last?” And the answer? It depends on a few factors. Typically, lash extensions last 4-6 weeks, depending on your natural lash cycle and how well you care for them. To keep your lashes looking fresh, it’s recommended to come in for fills every 2-3 weeks.
Pro Tip: Proper aftercare is KEY. Avoid oil-based products and cleanse your lashes regularly to make them last longer! 🌿
Is It OK to Get Eyelash Extensions?
Absolutely, it’s totally okay to get lash extensions! In fact, they’re a great way to enhance your natural beauty without having to pile on mascara every morning. Just make sure you go to a trained professional who uses high-quality products (like the ones we use at By Anais 😉). This will minimize the risk of irritation or damage to your natural lashes.
How Are Lash Extensions Done?
The lash extension process is actually super relaxing (many clients even fall asleep!). Here’s how it goes:
Consultation: We’ll chat about the style you want—whether it’s a natural or glam look.
Preparation: We’ll cleanse your lashes and apply under-eye pads to keep your lower lashes out of the way.
Application: One by one, we attach extensions to each of your natural lashes using a special adhesive. This part can take up to 1.5-2 hours, but trust me, it’s worth it!
Final Look: Once the lashes are applied, we’ll give them a gentle brush through and make sure they’re perfect!
Are Lash Extensions Haram?
This is a question that comes up a lot. The ruling on whether lash extensions are haram (forbidden) depends on the interpretation of Islamic teachings. Some believe that since extensions are not permanent, they can be permissible, while others may view them differently. It's always best to consult with your local religious leader or do your own research to find an answer that aligns with your beliefs.
The Verdict on Lash Extensions
Lash extensions are a beautiful, low-maintenance way to enhance your look. As long as you’re caring for them properly, they can last weeks and keep you feeling fabulous. ✨ But the most important part? Make sure you’re going to a trusted lash artist who will prioritize the health of your natural lashes!
