Do I Need a Break from Eyelash Extensions

The truth is, there’s no one fixed answer to your question and there’s many varying factors which will affect whether or not you will need a break and only your very experience lash technician will be able to give you the answer.

Factors such as: 1) How skilful your lash technician is. 2) How strong/weak your natural lash is. 3) The type of extensions that you are getting will all come into play on whether or not you will need a break .

1) How skilful your lash technician is

An experienced lash technician will be able to select the correct weight and length of the extensions that’s lightweight enough for the health of your natural lashes. (that is if you are willing to listen to her suggestions and insist on having thick and long one put on!)

2) How strong/weak your natural lash is.

The health of your natural lashes heavily depends on your genetics and background. In our many years of experience: clients with Asian, African/blonde background have the weakest natural lashes and clients with Indian/Italian/Middle eastern/European background have the strongest natural lashes.

Age, hormonal changes(pregnancy, menopause), medications of course also come into play.

eg. If you have naturally weak natural lashes due to your genetic background PLUS you are going through menopause, these two combined factors will make your natural lashes significantly weaker despite having a really good technician and you will most probably need a break every couple weeks/months depending on the suggestion of your lash technician.

eg. If you just have naturally weak natural lashes but no other factors come into play, you may highly likely be able to get extensions without breaks, given that you are using a really good lash serum to help with the growth of your natural lashes.

 3) The type of extensions that you are getting

Extensions comes in varying lengths and diameters. The longer length and thicken diameter will create a more dramatic look however they will weigh more than the short lengths and thinner diameters.

If you have very strong natural lashes and want a dramatic set + a really skilled lash technician. You can have extensions done for many years without breaks.

If you have just standard natural lashes and want a dramatic set + a really skilled lash technician. You will need to have breaks in between sets + a really good lash serum

In conclusion, everyone’s natural lash condition is different. If you have health natural lashes and your are lucky enough to have a lash technician that really does the application and selection of extensions properly. You will not need a break!

You are more than welcome to book in a treatment with us so our very experienced technicians are able to make suggestions accordingly.xx
