Do wet-look lashes feel heavy?
They don’t really feel like anything, once you are used to them, however if you touch them, they do feel firmer and sturdier than regular volume lashes (which do feel very soft as the fibres are fanned out). Generally they should feel the same as any other set of lashes you’ve had applied by us – comfortable and weightless! We always recommend going with shorter, less dense styles if you are worried about the ‘feeling’ of lashes, until you are used to them. However, most of our first-time clients are completely surprised by how weightless all of our lash sets feel!
Do you recommend tint or henna at the same time as brow lamination?
Yes, it’s perfect with a tint or with henna, for adding depth to the brows – you can choose between tint or henna – henna takes longer so is a slightly more expensive treatment. Please note, when combining with henna, a henna patch test is strongly recommended.
All lamination treatments include wax/shape/tweeze and trim (if required) to tame your brows to complete fleekness.
Can you get lash extensions after a lash lift?
It’s best that you wait 6-8 weeks so that the lashes are smooth enough to allow for correct bonding. On very lifted/kinked lashes, it can be difficult to get them to bond well/last properly.
If your lash lift is a very gentle curl or has dropped significantly, then it should be fine to proceed.
Does castor oil work for lashes?
Castor oil contains fatty acids that have been reported to help with lash growth – the oil nourishes your natural lashes and hydrates the skin around your eyes. As you may have guessed, however, castor oil is one of those unfortunate oil products that attacks the glue bonding your eyelash extensions and causes lifted lashes to drop. If you’re planning to use castor oil on your lashes, its best to try it when you’re having a break from all other lash treatments. If you’re not loving your natural lashes, there are plenty of other solutions out there – and many of them can be worn with lash extensions and lash lifts! Our favourite is Lash Game Lash Safe Growth Serum, one of the most effective lash serums on the market. Our lash stylists swear by this for maximising the strength of your natural lashes and recommend it for all long-term lash lovers.
Can you rub your eyes with eyelash extensions?
If you’re wearing eyelash extensions, avoid rubbing your eyes whenever possible. When you rub your eye, the friction can cause your lashes to twist out of place – in some cases they can be ripped out by a stray fingernail or knuckle! If your eyes are itchy or dry, keep moisturising eye-drops on hand and try your best not to rub. This can get tough for those with hayfever or seasonal allergies, but we promise that healthy, glamorous lashes are worth it!
