Cheap vs. High-Quality Lash Extensions

Cheap vs. High-Quality Lash Extensions

Choosing between cheap and high-quality lash extensions can be a tough decision. Understanding the differences between these extensions can be a determining factor on how money is spent and whether you feel your money is being spent wisely. 

Cons of Cheap Lash Extensions

1. Tangled Lashes

A common complaint with cheap lash extensions is that they often get tangled or stuck together, resulting in an unnatural appearance making it difficult to maintain a clean look.

2. Glossy Finish

Cheap lash extensions tend to appear glossy or shiny, which can give them a fake, plastic appearance, which is in contrast to high-quality extensions as they provide natural touches. In addition, the plastic-like synthetic materials in cheap lash extensions can irritate the eyes by causing discomfort and itchiness. 

3. Damage to Natural Lashes.

Often, eyelids are heavy due to the thickness of cheap extensions, leading to discomfort that may cause your natural lashes to feel weighed down. This in turn is susceptible to damage. In addition, if cheap extensions are improperly placed, this can lead to balding and even growth due to higher damaging effects in comparison to high quality lashes.

4. Shorter Lifespan

Cheap extensions usually won’t adhere as well as high-quality extensions. Cheap extensions have a lifespan of only 2-3 weeks, or less. This means additional trips to the salon for touch-ups, which can add up over time. 

Absolute YES, for High-Quality Lash Extensions

1. Natural-ness

High-quality lash extensions mimic the natural texture of your lashes lacking the “plasticky” feel, making them much more comfortable to wear. Not only do they feel natural, but they look natural with the subtle silks, and fluffy touches.

2. Easier Maintenance

High-quality extensions should feel weightless on the eyelids; it should feel as if they were your natural lashes. You’d have an effortless, stylish beauty routine the moment you wake up! A quick brush and style that takes less than 30 seconds, and you’re out the door. High-quality lashes maintain their shape and appearance. The longevity of high-quality lashes last for 3-4 weeks, or more. Meaning, longer-lasting results and few trips for maintenance. 

6. Comfort and Reduced Irritation

High-quality extensions are made with superior materials which are less likely to cause irritation. The weightless feels should not strain the natural lashes, or eyelids whatsoever with proper application. You’re able to enjoy your beautiful lashes without the worry of itchy, uncomfortable eyes.
