Dangers of Cluster Lash Extensions

Cluster lashes are a group of lashes that are stuck together using a knot on the edge. An aesthetician who wants to earn some quick cash will encourage a client to have cluster lashes applied as the process will be much faster than when individual lashes are applied. The following are the dangers of applying cluster lash extensions:

• Cluster lash extensions are bulky and when applied on a client and are left to stay for a longer period, they will lead to the loss of the natural lashes.
• Cluster lash extensions will interfere with the normal shedding of the natural lashes leading to bacterial infections.
• Cluster lashes will need a lot of glue when applying them; this glue will block the hair follicles making it impossible for the natural lashes to grow.
• When cluster lashes are applied in the wrong way and the glue touches the skin, the client may develop a negative immune response and may develop an allergic reaction to the lash glue for the rest of her life.

Before you allow an aesthetician to apply lash extensions on you, you should be sure that he is a professional who understands the proper way of applying the lash extensions. If he is not well versed in the proper way of applying the lashes, do not allow him to work on you as you cannot be assured of positive results.
Do not look for a spa that charges the lowest rates for the application, instead, look for a spa that offers professional services even if the price will be higher.
If you must apply the cluster lash extensions, do it for the shortest time possible and this should only be for special occasions. The application period should not exceed one week to avoid damaging the natural lashes.
If you do not have an intention of removing the lashes after a short duration, do not agree to have the aesthetician apply cluster lashes on you. Ask for individual lashes instead as these are light in weight and will not lead to any damage to the natural lashes.
A photo of previous lash extension application when you get to a spa should be the first thing before the lashes are applied. This will tell you if the aesthetician is experienced and knows how to properly apply the lashes. If you are not impressed with what you see in the photos from previous applications, do not agree to have the lashes done at the spa. Look for a spa that has positive reviews and one whose previous work is exceptional.
If natural lashes fall off as a result of leaving cluster lashes for a long time, it will be unfortunate as they may take longer to grow back again and to some, the damage could be too severe that the lashes may not grow back again.
There is, therefore, every reason why you should reject any application from a person who after the first contact will keep pestering you to get the lash extensions applied. A professional lash extension aesthetician should give you space to make your own decision, whether to go ahead with the application or to look for an alternative.
