With so many opinions and blogs on the internet, whom should you trust? Here is one popular eyelash extension misinformation which I always encounter with new clients.
I need to take a break from lash extensions so my natural lashes regain their strength.
Have you ever had a lash technician tell you that you need a "break"?
If so, put simply your lash extension professional is telling you that their work is unsafe, and not suitable for your natural lashes. This is not normal.
Eyelash extensions which are tailored for your natural lash health won't hinder your lash growth cycle or cause gaps.
That means that with the right lash tech, you can wear your eyelash extensions indefinitely.
Eyelash extensions which are suitable for your natural lash health will never be too long or too heavy for your natural lash.
Is there ever a time I should take a break?
Yes.
Here are 2 situations where a break could be recommended.
1.) You're struggling to establish a lash extension cleaning routine. This constant build up of make-up and dead skin cells puts you at risk of eye problems such a blepharitis.
2.) You're more tempted to pick and pull when you're wearing lash extensions. If you suffer with this horrible itch, not only are you recommended to take a break more often but maybe it is also time to consider if lash extensions are suitable for you. Constant picking and pulling leads to bald spots in your lash line.
So yes, you can wear eyelash extensions indefinitely as long as you take care of them! Proper eyelash extension aftercare and no picking or pulling can reward you with hypnotizing eyes while preserving the integrity of your natural lash health.
