Eyelashes fall out for many reasons, for example they can fall out due to some medical conditions. Sometimes they drop in clumps and sometimes can almost all of them fall out. Whatever the reason may be, this distressing experience can break your confidence and you might think:
I have no eyelashes, can I get extensions?
Eyelash extensions as the name suggest extend lashes. Simply because they are “extensions” and by definition, they extend what’s already there. It require natural lashes to which the extensions are attached. Without any natural lashes, it’s not possible to apply traditional eyelash extensions.
However, there are alternative options to enhance the appearance of your eyes:
- False Eyelashes (Strip Lashes): These are synthetic lashes attached to a strip that adheres directly to your eyelid using temporary glue. They can be applied and removed daily, offering a non-permanent solution.
- Magnetic Lashes: These lashes use tiny magnets to sandwich your natural lashes, providing an alternative to adhesive-based false lashes.
- Eyelash Serums: If your natural lashes are sparse or have fallen out due to conditions like alopecia or chemotherapy, eyelash growth serums may promote regrowth over time. Products containing ingredients like Prostaglandin have been noted for their effectiveness, though results vary and consistent application is necessary.
- Makeup Techniques: Utilizing eyeliner and eyeshadow can create the illusion of fuller lashes. Techniques such as tightlining (applying eyeliner to the upper waterline) can make your lash line appear more defined.
Before pursuing any option, especially if you’ve lost your lashes due to a medical condition, it’s advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or dermatologist to determine the best and safest approach for your situation.
