6 Common Types of Eyelash Extensions
Salons have a variety of eyelash extensions materials to choose from, depending on your budget and the appearance you want to create. Mink, faux mink, silk, and synthetic extensions are by far the most popular. The type of material you choose will be determined by a number of factors, all of which a lash artist will discuss with you before customising your lash extensions.
Lashes extensions are made of either man-made materials or animal fur at their most basic level. Some of your consumers will have particular brand preferences. In this post, we will know about six common types of eyelash extensions.
- Mink Lash Extensions
The tail hair of Siberian and Chinese minks is used to make mink lashes. Siberian minks provide the highest-quality fur, which is also the most sought-after. If you’re new to eyelash extensions and want to go for a natural look, mink may be the way to go. It most nearly resembles the appearance and gloss of your natural lashes.
Mink is a light and fluffy animal. Mink lashes should not be used if you have an allergy or sensitivity to animal hair. You may also decide against it if you have ethical issues regarding the treatment of minks or the use of their fur.
- Sable Lash Extensions
Sable fur is considerably finer and fluffier than mink fur. It’s the lightest eyelash extensions material currently available. It’s just for individuals with the best natural lashes, according to lash stylists. It’s also not as common as mink, so you won’t find it in every salon.
- Fox Lash Extensions
Fox fur lashes are a delicate, reddish tone in their natural form. They’re also available with black tips or dyed in an ombré pattern. Though, fox lash extension aren’t available at every salon.
Animal fur eyelash extensions are lightweight and natural-looking, but they need to be permed to curl. This means you’ll have to do some maintenance on them.
- Silk Lash Extensions
Although these lashes are labelled “silk,” they aren’t composed of actual silk like a tunic or scarf. Silk lashes are mid-weight, which means they’re heavier and less pleasant than faux-mink or faux-fox lashes for most people. They’re more appropriate for a special occasion than for everyday wear.
- Synthetic Lash Extensions
The heaviest and least natural-looking lashes are synthetic lashes. They have sheen to them, as opposed to the soft lustre of human or animal fur lashes. They can be too heavy for certain people’s eyelids.
- Volume Lash Extensions
Volume lashes are one of the most recent trends. Your lash artist will place 2-6 ultra-lightweight lashes to each of your natural lashes with this type of extension. You have the option of 2D, 3D, 4D, 5D, or 6D lashes.
The majority of volume lashes are comprised of silk or mink. Volume lashes require a different application process than standard eyelash extensions, so expect them to take longer to apply and cost more.
Conclusion
Finally, keep in mind that wearing eyelash extensions for an extended period of time can harm the hair follicles. Extensions can weaken or break your lashes because they are applied with a lot of twisting and tension. To keep your lashes healthy, you might want to consider taking a break from extensions on a regular basis.
