What is the appropriate degree of separation between natural lashes and extensions during application?

The ideal degree of separation between natural lashes and extensions during application is 1 to 2 millimeters. This distance is critical for several reasons.

First, it ensures that the lash extension adheres properly to the natural lash without causing any damage. If the extension is applied too close to the eyelid, it could irritate the sensitive skin around the eyes or even cause discomfort to the client. Also, this distance allows for natural growth and movement of the eyelashes, which is important to maintain the health of the natural lash.

Moreover, adhering to the 1 to 2 millimeters guideline minimizes the risk of the extensions clumping together or sticking to adjacent natural lashes, which can lead to problems such as lash breakage or uneven lash growth. This careful approach promotes a more natural look and feel for the extensions while ensuring the longevity of both the extensions and the natural lashes.

In summary, maintaining a 1 to 2 millimeter separation during the application is essential for the safety and aesthetics of eyelash extensions.
