It is normal to experience some itching or irritation after having eyelash extensions placed. This is because your eyes have to get used to the glue and the extensions themselves. These symptoms usually disappear within a day. If the itching persists, it may indicate an allergic reaction to the lash glue used.

Does the itching persist for more than a few hours or get worse? Then you may be allergic to the eyelash glue. In that case, it is wise to have the extensions removed.

• Have the extensions professionally removed: Return to the salon; they can safely remove the extensions.
• Avoid self-removal: Do not try to remove the extensions yourself to avoid damage to your natural lashes.
• Use a cold compress: A cold, damp washcloth on your eyes can provide temporary relief.
• Consult a physician: If symptoms are severe, it is advisable to consult a physician.

What to do for inflamed eyes:

• Consult a doctor: A doctor can prescribe the appropriate treatment.
• Remove the extensions: Have the extensions professionally removed to prevent further irritation.

If you are prone to lash extensions but still want long and full lashes, an eyelash serum can be an excellent alternative. Eyelash serums contain nourishing ingredients such as peptides, biotin and castor oil that can stimulate eyelash growth and strengthen hairs. Unlike eyelash extensions, which can stress the natural lashes, an eyelash serum actually helps to make them healthier and stronger. Regular use can give visible results after a few weeks, with no risk of allergic reactions or irritation from glue.

To prevent itching and irritation caused by eyelash extensions, you can take the following steps:

• Patch test: Ask your lash stylist to perform a patch test with the adhesive to check for allergies.
• Choose an experienced professional: A trained eyelash stylist knows how to apply the extensions correctly to minimize irritation.
• Maintain your extensions properly: Clean your eyelash extensions regularly with an appropriate cleanser to prevent accumulation of dirt and oil.

By taking these precautions, you can reduce the chances of itching and irritation caused by eyelash extensions and enjoy beautiful, comfortable lashes. Should you still suffer from hypersensitivity, an eyelash serum is a safe and effective alternative!
