Using Lash Serum With Lash Extensions

What Do I Need to Know About Using Lash Serum with Lash Extensions? 

Great lashes frame the eyes and make them your stand-out feature. That’s why lash serums are THE hot beauty trend, promoting lash growth and strength.

As long as you find the right one, lash serums can be applied to eyelashes enhanced with extensions, strengthening them from root to tip and helping your extensions stay in place.

Your Lash Growth Cycle

It helps to understand the basics of your lash growth cycle. Your eyelashes grow in three phases. The first is the anagen phase where lashes grow from the root. This phase lasts 30 to 45 days.

The second is the catagen phase where the hair follicle reduces in size and no growth takes place. This takes place over seven to 14 days. If a lash falls out during this period, then another won’t be able to grow during this phase.

The third and final phase is the telogen phase where the lash is fully formed and stays put until it falls out naturally. This phase takes up to 100 days.

You can see that if your lashes are weak, they will not replenish themselves until they hit the right phase, which could take up to 100 days.

This is why lash serum is so valuable when you have extensions, promoting strong, healthy lashes for extensions to attach to.

But with so many varieties of serum available, there are a couple of essential points you need to know.

Choose the Right Serum for Beautiful Lashes

First, if you use lash extensions, you will find that many serums are simply not compatible. If the serum contains oil, this will dissolve the glue used for your extensions, causing them to fall out.

Lash serums that contain glycols should also be avoided. Glycols are one of the ingredients in beauty products to stabilize and thicken them. The problem is, they can also dissolve the adhesive bonds used with lash extensions.

Babe Lash is the perfect choice of serum that can be used with lash extensions. 

Over time, you will notice that your lashes appear fuller and longer. All it takes is a nightly application of the extensions-friendly serum, then an application two to three times a week for maintenance when you’re satisfied with your beautiful lashes.

The vegan and paraben-free formula is not tested on animals. It is the kind way to enhance your natural beauty and comes with a 90-day satisfaction guarantee.
