🌿 What is Eyelash Extension? The Real Effects of Eyelash Extensions

Eyelash extensions are a technique of attaching false eyelashes directly to real eyelashes with specialized glue. Depending on the type of extension, you can choose Classic, Volume, Katun, Baby Doll... to make your eyes bigger, deeper and sharper .


🎯 Benefits of eyelash extensions:

  • Save makeup time : No need for mascara or eyelash curler

  • Increase confidence : Thick, long eyelashes – make your face attractive

  • Stay radiant all day , even without makeup

  • Visual effect : Eyes look big, round, fresh and full of life


⚠️ So Are Eyelash Extensions Harmful?

On the contrary, if you go to a reputable spa like Rachel Beauty Bar, get a thorough consultation and choose the right type of lashes – eyelash extensions are completely SAFE and will not cause any harm to your eyes.


🧨 Possible Risks When Applying Eyelash Extensions (If Done Wrong)

1. Itching, irritation after connection

  • Due to poor quality glue, eyelashes puncture the skin or incorrect extension technique

  • Mostly happens to first timers or people with sensitive eyes.

👉 How to handle : Contact a technician. Adjust or remove if necessary.

2. Eyelid infection or inflammation

  • Usually due to non-sterile or improperly connected instruments

  • Symptoms: Redness – swelling – itching – pus

👉 Solution : Absolutely do not scratch. Rinse eyes with saline & see a doctor soon.

3. Real eyelashes fall out

  • When the joint is too thick, the glue is heavy or not cured after joining.
