Human Hair Lash Extensions - What You Need to Know

Eyelash Extensions

Posted by Jennifer Ngo at April 28th, 2023

If you're looking to enhance the length and fullness of your natural lashes (who isn't!?), you’re probably thinking about lash extensions and the different options they provide. While silk and various synthetic lashes are popular options, another option that's gaining popularity is human hair lash extensions. Here's what you need to know about this type of lash extension and how it compares to other options!

What Are Human Hair Lash Extensions?

As the name suggests, these extensions are made from real human hair. The hair is sourced from donors and then sterilized and processed to create individual lashes that are attached to your natural lashes using a semi-permanent adhesive.

How Do They Compare to Silk and Synthetic Lashes?

Silk lashes are made from synthetic materials designed to mimic the look and feel of natural lashes. They are lightweight, flexible, durable, and can be customized to achieve various looks. On the other hand, synthetic lashes are typically made from plastic fibers and are the most affordable option. They are also very durable and come in various lengths and styles. So, how do human hair lash extensions compare to these options? The main advantage of human hair lashes is that they look and feel the most natural. Because they are made from real hair, they have a more realistic texture and natural movement (flow) than silk or synthetic lashes. They are also very lightweight and very comfortable to wear. Human hair lashes can be styled just like natural hair, meaning they can be curled, straightened, and even colored to achieve a customized look. Additionally, because they are all-natural, they are less likely to cause irritation or allergic reactions than some synthetic lashes do. However, there are some drawbacks to natural hair lash extensions. For one, they are generally more expensive than silk or synthetic lashes. Additionally, because they are made from a natural material, they may not be as durable as synthetic lashes and require more maintenance to keep them looking their best. Human hair lashes won't maintain the manufactured curl with wear and wash, and they may not provide a consistent look as they will mimic natural hairs, which are not uniform.

How Are Human Hair Lash Extensions Applied?

Human hair lash extensions are applied similarly to other types of lash extensions. The process typically involves the following steps:

Preparation: Your natural lashes will be cleaned and primed to ensure the extensions adhere properly.
Selection: The lash artist will select individual human hair lashes that are the appropriate length and thickness for your natural lashes.
Application: Using a semi-permanent adhesive, the lash artist will attach each individual lash extension to your natural lashes.
Maintenance: To keep your lash extensions looking their best, you'll need to avoid rubbing or pulling on them and avoid using oil-based makeup removers. You'll also need to have them filled in every few weeks for the best-looking results.

Are They Right for You?

Whether or not human hair lash extensions are the right choice for you depends on your preferences and budget. If you're looking for the most natural-looking lashes and are willing to invest in a higher-quality product, human hair lash extensions may be the way to go. However, synthetic, faux mink, or silk lashes may be a better option if you're on a budget or prefer a more dramatic look. It's also worth noting that human hair lash extensions require more maintenance than other types of lashes. Ultimately, the decision of which type of lash extension to choose is a personal one.
