CARD 1. The Innovative ‘Eyelash Extension?’

‘Eyelash Extension’ is extending eyelashes by gluing false lashes in strands. This innovative technique is appealing to women who put mascara or single-use lashes every day.

Because it lasts for several months after once glued, women who live a busy life can call this technique a “revolution.”

Card 2. Eyelashes grow 0.18mm per day.

Although it varies for each person, eyelashes generally grow about 0.18mm per day, and this is half the speed of hair growth.

Just like hair, eyelashes go through the cycle of growth, regression, and a resting phase.

Card 3. Eyelashes protect eyes... must maintain adequate length.

Eyelashes evolved to grow long enough to protect the eyes from sweat and dust.

Hence, long lashes do not merely mean good.

It is necessary to keep lashes in a perfect length for eye protection.

Card 4. What is the fatal disadvantage of lash extension?

The fatal disadvantage of lash extension is that eyelashes fall off when it shouldn’t.

Generally, to extend lashes, false lashes need to be glued at least 1mm away from the root, but when attached too close, natural lashes cannot hold the weight of the fake ones causing lash loss due to weakened roots.

Card 5. Natural lashes that don’t need to fall off get removed because of false lashes.

Technicians argue that they attach false lashes one-by-one and that natural lashes fall because it is on the regression period. However, it is nearly impossible to glue onto the itty-bitty lashes of different lengths.

For real, it is easy to perceive a bunch of glued fake lashes on the fallen natural lashes.

Card 6. The serious harmfulness of eyelash glue

Additionally, there are multiple cases of being diagnosed with cornea inflammation, conjunctivitis, or eyeball damage due to lash extensions. Experts point out that it is mainly because of the harmfulness in glue.

Card 7. Eyelash glue is made out of carcinogen.

According to the research done by the Korea Consumer Agency several years ago, shockingly, an excessive amount of two typical carcinogens: formaldehyde and toluene, is found in the glue.

These carcinogenic ingredients are prohibited in beauty products for causing nervous system disorders through skin contact and breathing in.

However, applying it on the most sensitive part of the face—eye—is more than being brave but reckless.

카드 8. When having lash extensions, must endure the inconvenience of being unable to wash the face properly.

For those who had an extension would agree that there is this inconvenience of not being able to wash the face properly.

Carefully washing in case the lashes fall makes it more difficult to remove dust and other substances, which is what the natural lashes used to do.

As a result, experiencing tangled false lashes and eye discharge is persistent.

Card 9. Eyelash extension is nothing more than a beauty operation that harms the eyes.

False lashes come in various fur types: silk, mink, velvet, etc.

However, these are not natural fur but synthetic fibers made out of plastic.

When used natural fur, the shape and curl consumers prefer never last.

Therefore, it is no more than a beauty operation that harms the eyes by using chemical glue and synthetic fibers.
