Regardless of whether you plan to remove or continue having eyelash extensions, there are only benefits to combining them with an eyelash serum. Our favorite, Xlash, not only gives you longer lashes but also nourishes down to the hair follicles. Read on to find out why you should use Xlash if you have eyelash extensions.
Do Your Eyelash Extensions the Right Way to Protect Your Lashes
If you Google "do eyelash extensions damage my natural lashes," you'll likely find two answers. Some will claim it's the worst thing you can do to your lashes and that they'll never be the same again. Others argue that eyelash extensions don't damage lashes at all, even if you have them for several months or years. What's most accurate? If done correctly, eyelash extensions cannot damage your natural lashes. That is, if you go to a trained and experienced lash stylist, extensions won't hinder the growth of new lashes.
You can customize eyelash extensions according to your preferences, with single and volume lashes offering anything from a natural look to maximum volume. However, if you choose extensions with a more unnatural, dramatic result, there's a risk that your new lashes will be too heavy for your own lashes. This can lead to your natural lashes falling off, and Finnish doctors have even warned that the strain on your lashes could, in the worst case, result in them stopping growth altogether. Therefore, it's important to strengthen your natural lashes if you choose to use really long and dramatic extensions.
Strengthen Your Natural Lashes with Xlash While Having Extensions
One way to strengthen your natural lashes while having extensions is to regularly use an eyelash serum. Make sure to choose a serum that doesn't contain oils that could damage the extensions. Oil-based products can loosen the adhesive of the extensions, causing them to fall off prematurely. A serum that's oil-free and effectively nourishing is Xlash Eyelash Serum. Many lash stylists actually recommend applying Xlash while having extensions. With the help of nutrient-rich proteins, vitamins, and minerals, you strengthen your natural lashes, which can lead to better extension results. You'll achieve an even more beautiful result and won't have to worry about the extensions potentially damaging your own lashes.
If you use Xlash Eyelash Serum once a day (preferably before bedtime) for at least 30 days, your natural lashes will become longer, thicker, and above all, stronger.
Avoid the Contrast of Short Lashes When Removing Extensions
Thinking about removing your extensions but worried your natural lashes will feel bare and super short? The solution is to start using Xlash a few months before removing the extensions. By applying Xlash while still having extensions, you can boost the growth of your natural lashes while they continue to be nourished.
Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17® and Biotin are two key ingredients in Xlash Eyelash Serum. Lashes are largely composed of the protein keratin, and Myristoyl Pentapeptide-17® is known for stimulating keratin production in your lashes. The peptide helps your lashes become thicker, fuller, and longer. Biotin is a powerful vitamin that strengthens and improves the condition of your lashes from the root. It's also an active ingredient that effectively boosts lash growth.
There's nothing to lose by starting to use an eyelash serum while still having extensions. On the contrary, it will be easier to stop using extensions when you feel ready.
No Downsides to Combining Xlash and Extensions
Xlash Eyelash Serum is water-based and contains no oils that could damage eyelash extensions. You can use Xlash without worrying about harming your extensions! Your lashes will become both stronger and longer and will actually be better able to support the extensions. Xlash is also safe for the eyes and contains no irritating or harmful substances.
Just like when using Xlash without extensions, it's important to apply the serum correctly. For the best effect, apply the serum like an eyeliner, on the eyelid along the lash roots. This ensures the active ingredients are effectively absorbed, stimulating growth and extending the lash growth cycle. You usually see results after at least 28 days of regular use.
If you use Xlash while having extensions, you might need to visit your lash stylist more frequently. This is because your natural lashes will grow faster with Xlash Eyelash Serum. On the other hand, your lashes will fare better—you'll lose fewer lashes, meaning you won't need to fix them as often. So, it can actually be a "plus-minus-zero" effect. Regardless of whether you need to visit your lash stylist more often, less often, or as often as before, your natural lashes will be both longer and stronger.
Xlash – An Alternative to Extensions?
A key reason for getting eyelash extensions is to achieve those dreamily beautiful lashes with maximum volume. Maybe your natural lashes are short, and you wish for longer ones? Or perhaps you want to save time on your makeup routine—wake up with perfect lashes every morning and avoid spending too much time in front of the mirror. Regular visits to a lash stylist can become costly over time. Many therefore use Xlash Eyelash Serum instead!
The serum provides a similar effect to extensions by making your own natural lashes longer, fuller, and more voluminous. With Xlash Eyelash Serum, you can expect up to 70% longer lashes! Many of our users are actually asked if they've gotten extensions when they start using Xlash regularly. Whether you use extensions or want to boost your natural lashes, Xlash Eyelash Serum will suit you and your lashes perfectly.
