I’ve been wanting to write this post for so long!
I decided to wait until I didn’t have extensions so you could see how I look without them on Stories and compare them to these pictures. For me, lash extensions aren’t about looking like I have on mascara. What they do is open up my eyes. I swear that when I wear them, I just need less makeup in general. They completely wake up your face!
I’ve been wearing lash extensions on and off for about a year or two now. Admittedly my introduction to them was not the best. The first couple times I had them they just looked so fake and even felt itchy. But then I heard about Lash by Lash Studio in Nichols Hills Plaza and wanted to give it a try. I’m so happy I did because it has been a COMPLETE game changer! When I have my lashes done I instantly feel camera ready. I also feel more confident when I’m doing outfit photos or Instagram Stories. (Even though I’ve been blogging FOREVER I still sometimes get nervous in front of the camera!)
For those of you who are thinking about trying them but want to know more, I’m so excited to have Raylene Cravens, the owner of Lash by Lash Studio, answering the questions you all ask most! Scroll down to read…
Everything you need to know about lash extensions
“Here at Lash By Lash we use all Novalash products & are certified by Novalash.”
“June 2010”
Do you have to let lashes rest between sessions?
“No. If they are properly applied and cared for you can wear them forever! The bonding technique is very important. Using the right curl, length and weight allows you to keep the integrity of the natural lash.”
Why should someone consider doing them?
“Less time to get ready, going with less makeup, no mascara!! Novalash is Waterproof & Oil Proof with no downtime.”
How long do they last?
“Lashes have a life span of 8 weeks. Every lash is in a different cycle, we suggest fills every 3-4 weeks depending on how you care for them. We highly recommend Novalash CleanLash 3 in 1 Pads for longevity of the Extensions & keeping the integrity of the natural lash. It’s also really important you check if your technician is certified, properly trained to do lash extensions. Using the correct technique is everything in extensions. Product is also important mainly the bond.”
I also love having my makeup done for special events or shoots. This Novalash eyeshadow kit lasts all day long and doesn’t budge. Taley did my makeup for the photos you see above!
If you’re in the OKC area and what to give them a try, check out Lash by Lash Studio. I’ve had Raylene and Taley Thompson do my lashes and both of them are amazing! Just know that it will take over 2 hours and you might just fall asleep. I always look forward to getting them done because I know I’m going to get a nap that day, haha.
Thank you Raylene ave more questions? Feel free to message me and let me know what you think of them in the comments!
