What I wish I knew before getting eyelash extensions?

Before getting eyelash extensions, it is important to know they require regular maintenance, careful handling, and specific aftercare. They are not permanent and need refills every two to three weeks. Oil-based products, rubbing, and sleeping face down can shorten their lifespan. The application process can take up to two hours for a full set, and removal should always be professional to avoid damaging natural lashes. Allergic reactions to adhesive may occur in some individuals. Understanding these factors beforehand helps set realistic expectations, ensures proper care, and makes the experience more enjoyable while protecting natural lashes.
