Which one is right for you?
Disclaimer: I was blessed with naturally long lashes. So the only problem I had with my lashes were that they were also naturally straight. So, I tried out both a lash perm and lash extensions and found which technique worked best for me.
Keeping scrolling down to find out which one I liked best!

After having both a lash perm and lash extensions, I knew which technique I liked better for my lifestyle. As someone who doesn’t wear makeup that often, I preferred the way a lash perm looked because it was more natural. I also liked that a lash perm lasted longer and faded gracefully. With lash extensions, the maintenance routine was a little too much work for me. It was difficult to work around the lashes when washing my face and harder to remove eye makeup.
The lash perm and lash extensions are very different techniques, so they will work differently for every person. Here are the pros and cons I found for each technique so you can decide which process you might like to try!
