Lash extensions give a more attractive look and they can also make you feel more confident. The results that you get, though, depend a lot by the products that you use, but also by the applying technique. So, in order to obtain a harmonious look that is also long lasting, it’s always recommended that you come to a professional in the field. If you are thinking about applying the lashes hair by hair at home, we invite you to discover why we don’t recommend that you do this.

Applying hair by hair lash extensions requires expertise and skill

In order to obtain the ideal look with the help of lash extensions, you require some pretty good knowledge, as well as have a lot of experience in the field and skill. Each extension has to be individually glued over a natural lash, at an optimal distance relative to the eyelid, in order to avoid rashes and to get a more natural look. If the process isn’t done correctly, you will have unsatisfactory results and your natural eyelashes can suffer.

A professional will always use real tools and a high quality lash glue in order to ensure a precise and durable application. Besides, because of their experience, the specialist will know which products are suited for your lashes and will take into account also your needs and preferences.

It can be tricky to choose the right kind of extensions

 

If you are trying to apply lashes hair by hair at home, it can be tricky to choose the best type of extensions. There is a large variety of lashes available on the market, which can create confusion when trying to choose the ones that are the best suited for you. Also, many times, you can use many types and sizes of lash extensions for a natural and harmonious look. The natural lashes from the inner corner of the eye tend to have smaller sizes than those from the middle or the outer corner, which is why the length of lashes has to be adapted. Choosing the wrong width and length for the extensions can cause another stress over the natural lashes, which will lead to them falling off or getting weaker.

In order for the lashes to better integrate through your natural ones, you must choose very carefully their color and texture. For example, even if the black extensions are among the most popular options, it may be that the brown or blonde ones are better suited for you, if your skin and hair are lighter in color. The right choice can be difficult without the help of an expert.

There is always the risk of gluing the extensions the wrong way

One of the major risks of applying lashes hair by hair at home is using the wrong glue. This can lead to unsatisfactory results and even complications. Choosing a wrong glue or applying it incorrectly can also cause problems, such as sticking the lashes together or gluing the lashes to the eyelid, which can cause discomfort or even certain lesions.

Another problem which can appear when applying the lashes at home is positioning them wrongly. If the extensions are glued too close to the root of the natural lashes or they aren’t correctly aligned, you can get a non-uniform look and the natural lashes can become tense. Besides, a specialist in the field can use a Barhat kit with lash solutions  to correctly clean and prepare the natural lashes and to effectively gluing the extensions.

The procedure can take a lot of time and it can be tiring

 

 

The procedure for applying lashes hair by hair can last a couple hours, usually between 2 and 4, depending on the technician’s experience and the number or volume of the applied extensions. If you try to apply them on your own, the process can be even longer and it can become tiring and frustrating, especially if the end result is not satisfactory. Moreover, applying the lashes hair by hair requires a great degree of concentration and precision in maneuvering the instrument and gluing each hair independently. This task is generally pretty difficult when you are trying to do it on your own, without the help of an experienced person.

There can be complications

Among the most frequent complications that can show up when applying the lash extensions hair by hair at home are infections and rashes. These can be caused by the wrongfully application of the extensions, which allows the glue to come into contact with the delicate area of the eye or the eyelids, but also from using lower quality products or not adhering to general hygiene principles.

Another risk associated with applying the lash extensions hair by hair at home is allergies. Some persons can have allergic reactions due to the glue their used to apply the extensions, which manifests itself through symptoms such as redness, swelling, itching and discomfort on the eyes and eyelids. Allergies can be avoided by doing an allergy test before applying the extensions and by using a quality glue, with a hypoallergenic formula.

As you can see, applying the lash extensions hair by hair is a pretty complex process, which requires certain knowledge and enough experience. Take our recommendations into account and contact a professional that uses the Barhat products to enjoy the results that you want, with a low risk of complications!
