Traditional false eyelashes Vs. New extensions

The main differences are the:
• Adhesive formula
• Lash type
• Application technique
• Lash appearance
• Lasting duration 

Traditional false lashes are in a strip and applied onto the eyelid using a hard drying adhesive. They often cause discomfort and sometimes natural lashes to fall out. They lasted only a few days to a week and looked unnatural and felt heavy. They can cause a great deal of damage to natural lashes.

Eyelash Extensions are applied with an adhesive that allows lashes to stay flexible and bouncy. The Mink, silk and human hair lashes give the most bounce. All bonding is to the individual lash and not to your skin, making extensions last longer than traditional false. Creating the look and feel of human lashes.

 Also depending on the natural growth cycle of your eyelashes, lashes will last up to 2 months. The bonding agent is waterproof to last. Drug store glues dry hard, crack and do not hold up. When maintaining your lashes, if you get fills monthly your lashes will last for months or years. I recommend touch up every two to four weeks, due to the fact that every 40 days on average is your natural growth cycle. At any given moment, your natural eyelashes are at a different stages of  life cycle. So touch ups are needed to replenish the lashes that have completed their life cycle. Touch ups generally take a short time and are relatively inexpensive.
