What are the lashes made of?
Lashes are available in several different materials including Synthetic, Silk, Faux Mink and 100% Siberian Mink. The desired look and the condition of your own lashes is what helps us as the professional decide what to use. Each material offers a different curl and thickness, which varies the look and feel of your lashes.
Do your eyelashes need to be a certain length in order to attach the extensions?
Your lashes do not need to be a certain length, although you need to have a lash to apply to, since the lash is applied to the hair. If your lash is shorter or thinner than average or damaged, it may limit how long and thick we'll apply the lashes.

Your natural eyelashes fall out, one-by-one every 45 - 60 days due to the natural growth cycle and are naturally replaced with the growth of a new eyelash. Other factors such as exposure to oils, touching your eyes a lot, stress, extreme weather changes, medictions, medical problems, malnutrition may cause the extensions to fall sooner.
