1D Lash Extensions

1D lash extensions are single strands of synthetic or mink fibers that are individually applied to your natural lashes to add length, volume, and curl.

• With proper care and regular fills, 1D lash extensions can typically last 2-4 weeks.
• However, the lifespan can vary depending on factors such as your natural lash growth cycle, your lifestyle (e.g., frequent swimming, vigorous exercise), and the quality of the extensions and adhesive used.
• As your natural lashes go through their growth cycle (new lashes grow in while old ones shed), the extensions will also shed.
• Regular fill appointments (every 2-3 weeks) are recommended to replace any shed extensions and maintain the desired fullness and shape.

When applied correctly by a skilled and experienced lash artist, 1D lash extensions should not damage your natural lashes.

Proper application techniques are crucial. The lash artist should carefully isolate each individual natural lash before applying the extension to prevent damage to multiple lashes.

Using high-quality, lightweight extensions and a gentle adhesive is also essential.

However, improper application, such as applying multiple extensions to a single natural lash or applying extensions too close to the eyelid, can put excessive weight on the natural lashes and potentially cause damage.

• 1D Lash Extensions:

  • Involve applying a single extension to each individual natural lash.
  • Create a more natural and subtle enhancement.
  • Offer a lower-maintenance option compared to volume lashes.

• Volume Lash Extensions:

  • Involve applying fans of 2 or more extremely lightweight extensions to each natural lash.
  • Create a more dramatic and voluminous look.
  • Require more careful aftercare and more frequent fills due to their delicate nature.

• First 24-48 Hours:

  • Avoid getting your lashes wet. This includes steam, sweat, and water.
  • Refrain from touching or rubbing your eyes.
  • Avoid using oil-based products around the eye area, as oil can dissolve the adhesive.

• Ongoing Care:

• Gentle Cleansing: Use oil-free cleanser and makeup remover to gently cleanse the eye area daily.

• Brush Gently: Brush your lashes gently each morning and evening with a clean mascara wand to keep them separated and prevent tangling.

• Avoid Harsh Treatments:

  • Avoid excessive rubbing or pulling on your lashes.
  • Refrain from using eyelash curlers.
  • Avoid sleeping face down on your pillow, as this can cause the extensions to bend or break.

• Regular Fills: Schedule fill appointments every 2-3 weeks to replace shed extensions and maintain the desired look.

• It's generally not recommended to wear mascara with lash extensions.
• Oil-based mascaras can dissolve the adhesive and shorten the lifespan of the extensions.
• Water-based mascaras can also be difficult to remove without disturbing the extensions.
• If you must wear mascara, use a water-based formula specifically designed for use with lash extensions and remove it gently with a lash-safe cleanser.

• 1D lash extensions are generally suitable for most people.
• However, they may not be recommended for individuals with:
  • Very weak or fragile natural lashes.
  • Eye infections or other eye conditions.
  • Those undergoing certain medical treatments (e.g., chemotherapy).
  • Individuals with allergies to the adhesive or extension materials.
• It's always best to consult with a qualified lash artist to determine if 1D lash extensions are right for you.
