Myth — Extensions Always Harm Natural Lashes
When applied correctly by a certified technician, extensions are bonded one-by-one to isolated natural lashes with medical-grade adhesive. They feel weightless, move with your growth cycle and shed naturally.
Reality — Damage Comes From Poor Technique or Care
Breakage, thinning or infections occur only when:
- extensions are too heavy or long for the client’s lash strength
- several natural lashes are glued together (failed isolation)
- low-quality adhesives or supplies are used
- clients pull, pick or remove extensions themselves
- oil-based cleansers or heavy rubbing weaken the bond
Four Ways to Protect Your Natural Lashes
- Choose a certified lash artist trained in isolation, styling and hygiene.
- Follow after-care: avoid oils, steam, heavy rubbing and sleeping face-down.
- Never pick or tug; book a professional removal if you want a break.
- Schedule regular fills every 2–3 weeks so your tech can monitor lash health.
Why Proper Training Matters
Graduates of accredited programs in Montréal learn weight calculation, safe adhesive use and strict sanitation. This prevents overload and keeps clients’ natural lashes healthy.
Conclusion
Lash extensions do not damage natural lashes when performed and maintained correctly. The myth stems from poorly trained technicians and neglectful after-care. Choose a certified professional, follow the guidelines, and enjoy long, lush lashes with complete peace of mind.
