5 Reactions to Eyelash Extensions and How To Avoid Them
If you have ever tried eyelash extensions or know someone who has chances are they have experienced varying degrees of a reaction after having eyelash extensions applied.

This can be frightening right. But there are ways to minimize your risk of experiencing these reactions or avoid them all together. You also may have sensitive eyes, and in this case doing a lash lift and tint will be more gentle.
Here are 5 Reactions to Eyelash Extensions and Hot to Avoid them.
1. Swollen Itchy Lids
Ahh perhaps one of the most common of them all. This reaction is most likely an allergic reaction to the adhesive, a cyanoacrylate based adhesive used to attach the lash extension to the natural lash. There is a strong correlation between seasonal allergy suffers and the application of lash extensions during the periods when allergy season is in full bloom. How to address this, consult with your lash stylist. Using a no fume or low fume adhesive option like Novalash Platinum Bond Fume Free adhesive is a great choice.
2. Bloodshot Eyes
When medical tape or under eye pads used to bind the lower lash during the eyelash extension procedure is too close to the inner eye irritation can occur. Let your lash stylist know if you are uncomfortable repositioning the tape or pad should work. Also, proper ventilation will help whisk any irritating fumes away.
3. Under Eye Irritation
The skin under the eye is the most delicate on the face. A gentle pad is recommended to bind the lower lash during the eyelash extension procedure to minimize irritation. Medical tape alone should never be used to hold the lower lashes closest to the skin. Hydrogel Eye Patches are aloe and vitamin C for a soothing treatment.
4. Stuffy Nose
When we are exposed to noxious fumes our bodies natural reaction is to secrete mucus to the site of exposure. This type of reaction can occur especially if you suffer from seasonal allergies or are sensitive to some odors. A well ventilated room and Novalash Platinum Bond Fume Free Adhesive may help minimize this effect.
5. Eyelid Bumps
There is growing debate as to whether or not eyelash extensions causes eye conditions such as styes and chalazion’s. These conditions can occur when the glands along the lid become blocked by naturally occuring oil secretion. To minimize the risk of developing a stye daily cleansing of the eyelash and lid is recommended Cleaning the lashes with a Lash Cleansing Brush and Steri Lids by Tera Tear is a great line of defense. Sometimes however removal of the eyelash extensions may be necessary.
