How to get long and strong lashes at home

 

There are many different aspects which affect how the natural lashes look. Especially if someone wishes to have extensions in order to cover certain empty spaces between the hairs or they just want to make their eyes pop through lash extensions, here are some things which you need to do to ensure the desired result.

There is also the situation when a client wants to take a break from lash extensions, even though they are in a continual regeneration process and aren’t affected by a correctly done procedure. In both cases, here are some tips which they can follow in order to ensure the healthy and also the maximum length of the natural hairs:

 

  1. 1.    Avoid certain cosmetics

 

Even though waterproof mascara has its advantages with regards to lasting really long periods, this products is not easily removed from the hairs. Try to minimize using it and under no circumstances don’t use a lash curler in your beauty routine.

Also, the product for removing makeup that you’re using should easily clean out all the impurities, so that you don’t irritate the eye area through excessive rubbing. Moreover, we don’t recommend that you frequently apply fake lashes that use glue because tearing them off can affect your natural lashes.

In order to have the long lashes you’ve dreamed of, it’s important to first avoid some products and habits which can cause more damage than do good. 

 

  1. 2.    Use natural oils and gels 

 

You must’ve heard about the miraculous effect which ricin oil can have on your lashes, especially when you have them to regenerate themselves as quickly as possible. Olive oil has the same effect if it’s gently applied in the evening, before going to bed, or even aloe vera gel, which gives you numerous beauty benefits.

Even if the effectiveness of these natural products wasn’t scientifically proven, they will help you to keep your lashes well hydrated, which is an essential aspect with regards to any care routine. Alternatively, you can also use special serums which are designed to promote growth in lashes, but it’s important to make sure that they only contain natural ingredients, which won’t cause any rashes. 

 

  1. 3.    Make sure that you have a balanced lifestyle

 

Your diet is a really important part when it comes to the hairs wellbeing. Make sure that your daily many contains foods rich in Vitamin B7 and natural antioxidants. The falling of hairs in excess can be caused by a biotin deficit, which can be adjusted by consuming vegetables such as peas or nuts, seeds, mushrooms, bananas and avocados.

Stress can also cause significant falling or thinning of lash hairs, so try to maintain a balance between the activities that you’re doing every day. Give yourself the necessary relaxing time and in order to stimulate lash growth, you can also use a makeup disc that’s soaked in green tea which you apply over your eyelids for four times a week. 

 

  1. 4.    Choose a beautifying procedure

 

If you’ve tried multiple natural remedies and you’re still not satisfied with how your lashes look, you can opt for a lash lift session. This procedure is about using a lamination kit that contains 3 products which will make your lashes grow and curve more over the following two months.

The main advantages of lash lift are as follows:  the process doesn’t take more than 45 minutes, and afterwards you will have a natural and pleasant look.
