Lash Extension Vs. False Lashes

Lash Extensions

Lash extensions or also known as faux lashes are applied individually on each eyelash to make it look more natural. It seems so natural that no one can ever guess that you have applied faux lashes. Without any view of fakeness, you can have lash extensions for as long as you want.

The treatment for lash extension is similar to getting hair extension, for which you need to visit a lash extension salon. However, beware not all lash extension salons are authentic. Although lash extensions give you the dramatic and natural look you want but are they really safe? Well, let's dive into the pros and cons of lash extensions.

Pros:

False Lashes

False lashes or more popularly known as fake lashes, are made of human or synthetic hair glued together to make a lash. This lash you can glue above your eyes with the help of eyelash glue. At times it does get messy, but once you practice applying false lashes, it does not take more than 2 minutes.

Since there are different types of false lashes, you can select which one suits your current look. You can either go full-dramatic or completely natural, depending on your choice.

Lash Extensions Vs. False Lashes – Which One to Choose?

Both lash extensions and false lashes have their own pros and cons. But the question remains, which one to choose, which is better? Well, where lash extensions are for a long time and do not require daily effort, they can be hard to maintain and, at times, can harm your natural lashes.

Whereas false lashes can be harder to apply initially, they need the practice to apply, but the glue can cause harm. Moreover, lash extensions don't give you a dramatic look if you go for a natural look. As a result, you are stuck with one boring look for a long time.

Whereas false lashes give you a huge variety to choose from, you can for a queen look to a completely natural look within minutes.

However, the question remains the same which one to choose? Well, I prefer false lashes, but that does not mean it meets your needs. Go for the one that you feel is less risky and suits your style.
