Which factor can compromise the longevity of eyelash extensions?

Excessive exposure to heat and steam can significantly compromise the longevity of eyelash extensions. High temperatures and steam can weaken the adhesive bonds that hold the extensions to the natural lashes. This can lead to premature shedding of the extensions, causing them to fall off more quickly than they otherwise would. Environments like saunas, hot showers, or even certain styling tools that emit heat can negatively impact the lifespan of the eyelash extensions by causing the adhesive to break down.

On the other hand, gentle adhesive use, lightweight extensions, and a consistent cleaning schedule are practices that generally support the integrity and longevity of eyelash extensions. Gentle adhesives are designed to hold without being overly harsh on the natural lashes, lightweight extensions reduce stress on the natural lashes, and regular cleaning helps to prevent buildup that might affect how the extensions adhere. However, exposure to heat and steam remains a major factor that jeopardizes their longevity.
