Having long, thick, and curvy lashes is certainly a dream for women. Using mascara might help, but you certainly need to spend extra time and patience every day in using it. Most women will certainly do almost anything to make their appearance appear more attractive. Until recently, eyelash extensions have emerged as a new alternative solution for those who want their lashes to look more attractive.
But is there any danger in this eyelash extension for its users? The following is the review.
The risks that may occur due to the installation of eyelash extensions
1. Lashes fall out
Using lash extensions for too long can put tension on your natural lashes. This is because, the weight of the false lashes can put pressure on the real lashes and can actually cause the real lashes to fall out.
In women whose lash roots are not very strong, even permanent eyelash loss can occur. This condition in the medical world can also be known as traction alopecia. Your lashes may appear thicker, but your real lashes are actually thinning.
2. Irritation and allergies
Especially if you have sensitive skin, the substance that is the base ingredient of eyelash extensions may irritate your eyes. The adhesive that sticks your lashes to your eyes may be able to cause a rash on your eyes, or even cause your eyes to redden and form bubbles like water filled facial skin.
A number of discoveries even add to the chemical compound content of formaldehyde in several outstanding eyelash extension adhesives. The combination of these conditions can certainly increase your potential for allergies to these adhesives.
3. The eye is injured
The irritation can cause your eye to develop an eye infection. In other words, applying the adhesive directly to your natural lashes, has the potential to cause infection in your eye. In addition, both the substance of the false eyelashes and the adhesive are susceptible to exposure to bacteria and viruses.
The presence of bacteria and viruses on false lashes that are glued to your natural lashes, has the potential to cause the front of your eye to experience inflammation, or what is known in the medical world as conjunctivitis. In high severity, conjunctivitis can affect the quality of your vision. As reported by Medical Daily, in one case, false lashes can even fall into your eye and it is difficult to remove, because it has stuck with your eye.
Why are my lashes thin?
Having thin lashes can actually occur due to several factors, such as:
- Genetic influences
- Lack of levels of the amino acid lysine in the body. Lysine is believed to have an important role in the growth of hair on your body. You can get lysine content from several foods such as meat, nuts, eggs, seeds, cod, poultry, and Japanese tofu.
- Rub your eyes with excess force and don't clean your eyes after using makeup all day, can increase the potential for your lashes to fall out.
