Thinking about getting Volume Lash Extensions? Well, you are definitely in the right place hun! Today, we are taking a look at Jordyn Woods now viral lash extensions; PLUS we are filling in all the gaps about EVERYTHING you need to know about and before you take the plunge. School is in session!

First thing first, it’s the realest. Yes, eyelash extensions are great because it will save you time and instantly boost your beauty looks. Sometimes mascara can only take you so far. Extensions allow you to have the volume as well as length that even the best product formulas can not give you.

With that being said, there are some things you should know. Such as what is the difference between getting classic lashes or volume ones? Also, is it true that volume extensions can be damaging to your natural lashes? Let’s answer both of those.

Really, the difference in the two is the ending result as well as the type of individual lashes that are used. With classics, it is going to end up looking like you are wearing mascara; therefore, most would say it is a more classic look, because it looks natural.

When anyone looks at you they are just going to assume you’re just… well, blessed (LOL). Classic lashes look gorgeous and like they are really just yours. So if you are not about the dramatics then this type of eyelash extensions would suit you well.

However, if you are the queen of DRAMA… then honey… Volume is where it is at! The result with these are going to look fluffier and fuller. This is due to about 2 to even 8 super fine lash extensions being applied to a single natural lash. Whereas with classics only one lash is glued to one natural lash.

Volume Lash Extensions Info (Continued)

So then is volume more dangerous to your lashes? Honestly, we do not know where this myth started or came from. Nonetheless, all you need to know is that it is not true. After talking with several professionals as well as our own resident Beauty Editor, Alicia Suggs of The LA Glow; some feel it’s a belief that sprung up because of how the Volume Lash technique works.

You see, some may assume that because so many lash extensions are being added to one natural lash; the natural lash might buckle under the weight. Or the glue needed to hold the lash extensions in place could be damaging. Allow us to put your mind at ease.

Volume eyelash extensions are still very safe for natural lashes. Believe it or not, but Volume Lashes are actually lighter than classic ones. Additionally, a lot less glue is used with the Volume technique; which in turn means there won’t be as much weight on your eyes.

A WORD OF CAUTION: While Volume lashes are perfectly fine, we would not be doing our job if we did not warn you about what could leave your eyeballs bald. Watch out for Cluster Lashes. These should be avoided because they are really bad for your lashes and could cause permanent damage. But on these in a future post.

Lash Extensions Care Plus What to Expect

Roadrunner Don’t Play That: This process is not a speedy one. When getting lash extensions set aside at least an hour in your schedule. Your lash extensions professional will be adding in volume/length to your natural lash line literally one hair at a time. So be patient and get ready to just set back and relax for awhile.

Rub a Dub Dub: You are going to want to but you must learn to resist temptation. Rubbing on your peepers will only cause lashes to fall out quicker. To keep your awesome eyelash look longer you need to institute a hands off policy for yourself.

To Clean Or Not to Clean: Well of course you are going to have to wash your face at some point but its HOW you go about doing it that will be a little of a challenge. Since the lashes are held in place by glue you need to be extremely careful when it comes to having any type of moisture coming near your extensions. Cleansing towelettes can help to safely remove dirt or makeup near the lashes. Never pull or tug on them or you risk losing hairs.

You Need to Cut It: (Insert dance moves) On the real you may need to literally cut out certain makeup. Some makeup contains oils that can wreck havoc on your extensions. Oils and lash extensions do not mix! We will say that again… oils and lash extensions do not mix so avoid using eye makeup that is oil based. Such products will only encourage strands to slide right out of their place.

Sleep Like a G: If you normally wake up with your face firmly planted in your pillow you may need to make a few adjustments. Friction created by sliding your face along your big fluffy friend will actually be damaging to your lashes. Lash extensions can easily be pulled out so it is best to rest in a position where your lashes rarely come into contact with your bedding. Women have found success sleeping on their backs or on their side slightly on top of their hand in order to protect the extensions.

I Don’t Think You Ready For This Gel-y: Waterproof eye makeup is very tough remove, however, if eyeliner is a must then using gel liner would be a better option. Gels a little easier to remove but care is still needed in order to not disturb the extensions.

Get Low: As time goes by you will notice your once full set of lashes looking a little on the low side. The lashes will fall out so this means going in to get them replaced. How often will you need to go in to see a lash extension expert? Every lady is different and it will depend on how well you take care of them. Most women average around 3-4 weeks with 6 being the max.

Betta Have My Money: Lash extensions are not cheap but many salons offer a discount to first-timers. This is done of course to get a girl hooked so that she will continue to get them in the future. Right at the gate you are looking at least $100 or more depending on volume as well as style. More dramatic looks will cost you more money. Also, keep in mind the maintenance costs. To maintain your lovely lash look you will need to go in for refills just like you would for acrylic nails.
