Eyelash extensions add length, thickness and fullness to natural eyelashes. Synthetic single fiber polyester thread-like materials are applied to individual eyelashes to create a fuller, longer look. The adhesive used is surgical-grade. Extensions come in various lengths, colors and thicknesses, and can be worn during sleep, showering and swimming. Eyelash extensions differ from false eyelashes in that they are applied one extension to one lash. The application technique involves attaching a synthetic eyelash extension to an individual eyelash on the client.
