An eyelashes or simply lash is one of the hairs that grows at the edge of the eyelid. It grows in three layers on the edge of the eyelids. Eyelashes protect the eye from debris, dust and small particles, thus providing a warning that an object (such as an insect) is near the eye (which then closes reflexively).

What are eyelash extensions?
Unlike gluing a strip of temporary fake eyelashes onto your lash line, semipermanent lashes are applied by a technician who hand-glues the eyelash extensions on top of your natural lashes. Because eyelash extensions don鈥檛 come in a strip, they are super customizable and actually look real. With proper care (more on that install Eyelashes - extensions, eyelash lift, curling), they can last for six to eight weeks until they naturally fall out like your lashes usually do.
What is a eyelash Lift?
A eyelash lift curls your lash from base to tip so that you can see the full length. All eyelashes have a natural shape to them, so this process alters that shape via a tiny curling rod and a lifting solution. (It鈥檚 not as scary as it sounds, as your eyes are closed as it鈥檚 applied but yes, there are some chemicals involved.) The treatment should always be performed by a licensed professional.
