Lash extensions make you feel great, but not so much if you get a lash allergy afterward. Are they the same as irritations? What does an allergic reaction to eyelash extensions look like? Why do they happen?
As a lash artist myself, it is crucial to understand the nuances between an allergic reaction and irritation to offer the best support to your client. As a client, knowing what symptoms to look for is a valuable piece of information to communicate to your stylist.
What Is an Allergic Reaction to Eyelash Extensions?
An allergy to eyelash extensions occurs when the immune system reacts to foreign bodies called allergens. In most cases, it is caused by the lash glue used to apply the extensions to the natural eyelashes. The most frequent symptoms will be redness of the eye, swollen eyelids, and itchiness.
Lash allergies often occur, with several symptoms occurring all at once. While it can differ based on the biology of the extension wearer and the chemistry of the allergen, the following signs are the most common. They will help you narrow down an eyelash allergy.
Having said that, it’s important to make a distinction between an allergic reaction and an irritation. The former is severe and lasts a long time, while the latter is simply a discomfort that often disappears quickly.
