Your eyes and natural lashes guide the choice: a subtle one-by-one set or a fuller volume finish.

Longer, darker or fuller-looking lashes without mascara: at Nour Skin Center in Haarlem, individual artificial hairs are bonded to your natural ones. Choose a subtle appearance or a more generous amount of volume.
One by one (classic): a single extension on each natural lash creates a neat, subtle finish resembling mascara. Volume 2D to 7D: each lash carries a fan comprising 2 to 7 exceptionally light hairs. Higher numbers mean greater fullness. Hybrid: one by one combined with volume offers added depth compared with classic and a softer finish than volume. Mega volume: fans contain even more ultra-fine extensions for the most dramatic effect. Your natural lashes must be sufficiently strong for this option.
You recline with closed eyes while we work. Lower lashes are shielded before each artificial hair is individually glued to a natural lash, just clear of the eyelid. Most people find the session restful.
An extension sheds when the natural lash holding it drops out. Your hairs continually renew, so fullness gradually diminishes. Sets generally retain a full appearance for 2 to 3 weeks; by 4 to 6 weeks the majority have shed.
Allow the adhesive to cure: keep lashes dry initially, generally around 24 hours, and stay away from steam and saunas. Keep oil-based cleansers, cosmetics removers and creams away from the eyes. Several times weekly, wash with an oil-free lash cleanser and soft brush to reduce the accumulation of sebum and dirt. Carefully comb the hairs into position each day. Leave lash curlers and waterproof mascara aside. Sleeping on your side or back is preferable; keep your face out of the pillow. Never tug at or pick off extensions: natural lashes will come away with them.
We recommend forgoing extensions or delaying fitting in these cases: infection, inflammation of the eyelids or another eye problem; a recent eye operation: obtain your eye specialist's clearance first; allergy to lash adhesive or a previous reaction to extensions; particularly short, fine or damaged natural lashes; a lighter set or lash lift may be preferable; a tendency to tug your lashes; chemotherapy or lash loss with a medical cause.
Appropriate length and weight, followed by correct removal, limit the load placed on natural lashes. Unwanted reactions remain possible: redness or irritation of the eyes, including from adhesive vapour; allergy to the glue, causing itching, puffiness or reddened lids. The adhesive contains cyanoacrylate; sensitivity can still develop following repeated fittings; natural hairs breaking or shedding because a set is too heavy, extensions bond together or you tug them; inflammation along eyelid edges when cleaning is inadequate.
