r/lashextensions

I had a lash lift just over 4 weeks ago ant it went VERY wrong. I've had quite a few lash lifts before and they've always been great, but this was a new place I tried because I was out of town and I am wishing more than anything I could go back in time.

My lashes were over-processed and over-lifted and were extremely uncomfortable afterwards. Some snapped off, while others developed what I believe was folliculitis because of the angle they were set and subsequently fell out, or had to be plucked because they were causing so much pain.

I'm now four weeks post-lift and have very few lashes left — maybe a handful on each lid. Before this, my lashes were quite thick and full and I was so excited to get them lifted has it had been 6 months since my last....I am totally devastated.

I've already received a full refund from the salon (who originally tried to correct the botched shape...) and now don't know if I should be going back to ask for some other compensation based on the extent of the damage??

Mainly wondering about how long it took for other people's lashes to grow back after something similar?

Four weeks in, mine are actually looking the worst they've looked throughout this whole process. I'm wondering when I might realistically start seeing enough regrowth to look somewhat normal again, 8 weeks, 12 weeks....longer??

I know lashes have a growth cycle and that I probably just have to be patient, but I'm really struggling with how upsetting this has been - I barely want to leave the house because I feel so self-conscious.

Has anyone else had a lash lift that caused significant lash loss? How long did it take before your lashes grew back, and how long until they looked reasonably normal again?

Please help me ❤️

During your fills, do you remove all the outgrows or do you dedicate a specific amount of time to removing outgrows curious to see everyone’s opinion!

Hello!

I’m relatively knew to lash extensions, specifically lash clusters. I’ve worn them occasionally but only for a day and then take them off.

I curl my lashes, then put mascara on. Then I use the Kiss Strip Lash Adhesive, put it on the clusters, and place them beneath my lashes.

For eye and lash health people say to wash mascara off at night. But I’m wondering how my natural lashes are supposed to hold up if I don’t use mascara? For context I have really straight stubborn lashes and they like to fall immediately without waterproof mascara.

This might be a stupid question but how do people go about wearing their lash clusters for days at a time? Do they go without mascara and only curl the lashes and the lashes are supposed to hold the curl with the extensions on? Or do I just not wash the mascara off at night?

Thank you in advance!!

Hi guys! I was hoping someone here could offer some meaningful advice.
Since having my daughters, my skin reacts to everything. Makeup is basically just a way to make my whole face break out in hives. So, I’ve been considering doing extensions since I do frequently wear the clusters but I’m not sure if it’s worth it? I do my clusters twice a week for roughly $80 every couple months but I hate how they feel and don’t last.
I use kiss flascara (the bond, seal and overnighter) with Geeneiya clusters.
Should I be using better at home products or would you personally say paying the extra money for extensions is worth it since I can’t wear makeup anyway?
TYIA! 🤍

Hello, I’ve been getting lash extensions for 5+ years but it’s definitely starting to get pricey. I usually get a volume set. Any suggestions on DIY clusters or extensions for beginners? Something that’s super easy to follow. Magnetic lashes? I’ve also done falsies in the past but got a bad allergic reaction to ANY glue I used. Lash extensions don’t give me any allergic reactions. Thanks in advance for the help
