Hi Maxa! Can you use Xlash Eyelash Serum alongside lash extensions?
"Yes, you can — the only risk is if you apply Xlash directly onto the extensions instead of brushing it onto the skin at the roots," says Maxa.
One reason it works perfectly well to use Xlash Eyelash Serum with lash extensions is that the product is formulated completely without oils. It is water-based and will not damage the extensions. To get the best results from the serum, it is important to use it correctly — whether you have extensions or not. Just as Maxa recommends, you should apply Xlash to the skin close to the lash roots, much like you would apply an eyeliner.
If you are considering trying lash extensions, it can actually be a great idea to "prepare" your lashes with an eyelash serum first. We recommend starting to use Xlash about a month before you get lash extensions. That gives your natural lashes time to grow stronger and healthier, which means they will be better equipped to handle the added weight of extensions.
What happens if you combine Xlash with your lash extensions?
"If you combine serum with extensions, you may need to go for infills a little more often, as Xlash stimulates lash growth," says Maxa.
Can lash extensions damage your natural lashes?
"If the therapist does a good job and the client cares for them properly, then no — extensions do not damage the lash follicles. The damage we do to ourselves comes from incorrect treatment at the salon or at home," explains Maxa.
Is the glue used for lash extensions harmful to the hair follicles?
"No, because the lash roots sit approximately 2 mm beneath the skin."
Many people find their natural lashes are much shorter after removing lash extensions — what can you do about it?
"You can start using Xlash Eyelash Serum about three months before you plan to remove your extensions, so you do not have to face the experience of feeling like you have no lashes left. When clients come to me, their natural lashes are usually around 6–10 mm long. They typically start with lash extensions that are 9–13 mm, and over time they get used to their lashes being thicker, denser, blacker, longer and more curled. Eventually they want the therapist to go even longer. When you stop extensions all of a sudden, your natural lashes feel dramatically shorter and it comes as a real shock — it is simply a question of what you are used to. That is why I think it is a good idea to start using serum while you still have extensions," says Maxa.
Can you use Xlash Eyelash Serum instead of lash extensions?
"Absolutely! Xlash is considerably more affordable than extensions, and you can do the treatment at home yourself — it only takes five seconds," says Maxa.
Whether you have lash extensions or not, Xlash Eyelash Serum is a great way to make your lashes healthier and stronger. As a bonus, they will also grow longer.
We understand the appeal of lash extensions. It is wonderful to skip mascara every day and wake up with perfect lashes. That said, it is an expensive treatment and takes up a good amount of your time, since you need to visit the salon regularly for infills. Perhaps you are starting to feel that lash extensions are not really for you? In that case, Xlash is an especially good and more affordable alternative.
Using only naturally active ingredients, Xlash Eyelash Serum boosts your lashes with a wealth of nourishment. Try the serum for at least 28 days and look forward to up to 70 per cent longer lashes. You will also notice that they are stronger and thicker, which reduces the risk of breakage and damage. Some people who have used Xlash have even been asked whether they are wearing false lashes!
To get good, long-lasting results with Xlash, it is important to use the product regularly and to apply it along the lash roots. This allows the serum's beneficial vitamins, minerals and proteins to work all the way down into the hair follicles. They are then able to extend the lashes' growth cycle and stimulate the follicles, resulting in longer, fuller and thicker lashes. Xlash contains only safe ingredients that will not irritate or damage your eyes.

Whether you have extensions or not, Xlash is always a great option for strengthening your lashes and giving them a healthy boost.
