How is the weight of an eyelash extension important to the health of natural lashes?

The weight of an eyelash extension is crucial to the health of natural lashes because heavier extensions can indeed cause damage or lead to premature shedding. Natural lashes have a limit to the amount of weight they can carry without becoming stressed or damaged. When extensions that are too heavy are applied, they can pull on the natural lash, causing it to weaken and potentially break or fall out prematurely.

Properly selected, lightweight extensions allow for a more natural lash growth cycle to continue without undue stress. It’s essential for lash technicians to choose extensions that complement the strength and health of the client’s natural lashes to maintain their integrity over time. This consideration is part of responsible practice in eyelash extension application to ensure the longevity of both the extensions and the natural lashes.
