Eyelash extensions are a great way to enhance the length, curl, fullness, and thickness of your natural eyelashes. They come in a variety of materials, including mink, silk, synthetic, human hair, and horse hair. Synthetic eyelash extensions are the most popular choice for those who want a dramatic, artificial look. They are made of a soft plastic called polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), which is heated and molded to obtain the desired curl.
Silk lashes are also popular and are made of a synthetic material that is light and flexible. Hybrid lashes combine classic individual eyelash extensions with mixed volume fans for a textured look. False eyelashes are single-use and made from human hair. Before getting eyelash extensions, it's important to research what type is best for you. Silk lashes are best for dramatic ensembles and usually used in conjunction with classic lashes.
False eyelashes improve the length and volume of the eyelashes, but differ from semi-permanent extensions. In 1902, Charles Nessler patented a new or improved method for manufacturing artificial eyebrows, eyelashes, and the like in the United Kingdom. The Guild of Professional Beauty Therapists accredited courses for the safe application of individual semi-permanent eyelash extensions.
