My lashes looked amazing after a few applications of the various lengths provided in the kit and they were far more comfortable than falsh lash strips. I was so excited.
But, after about 5 days, my right lashes started to fall off, and that left me with a really weird look. So, I kept reapplying the ones that were falling off whenever I could catch them.
This morning I decided to just use the remover provided in the kit since the right eye just kept shedding lashes. I followed the directions exactly and . . .
OMG - I have almost no natural lashes left!!!!! It is horrible. Even mascara won't fill the tremendous gaps in lashes I now have.
So . . . word to the wise, beware of the semi-permanent lash extension kits unless you really want to be permanently applying these lash extensions.
Will my lashes grow back and how long does it take???  |
Oh! I'm so sorry that happened to you Vahana! I'm actually surprised they have "do it yourself kits". I actually apply them for "Extreme Lashes" but it's a professional application process. You have to be a medical professional or certified beautician to go thru the training simply for that reason.
Give your natural lashes some time to grow back and I would obstain from applying mascara for the time being. Depending on where the damage occured (I'm not sure how you applied your's- we apply our's directly to the clients natural lash so that there is no ontact with the eyelid or follicle) you may or may not have sustained permanent damage....unfortunately only time will tell. Your eyelashes grow at approximately the same rate as the hair on your head so that should give you a little idea.
I'm also not familiar with the adhesive you used because we only use derma bond...which is what we use to close surgical wounds and lacerations in the hospital.
I would never never never recommend doing semi permanently lashes yourself. Just using a false strip is way better if you can't have the semi-permanents professionally done. It's irresponsible of the company to even put something like that out. I do it professionally and it would be impossibe to do my own because the eyes must stay closed at all times and it's one synthetic lash to one natural lash- very tedious which is why it is sooo expensive.
Good luck and more than likely they will grow back
