Can You Get Lice from Eyelash Extensions?
Can you get lice from eyelash extensions? Apparently, yes you can. So, here’s the thing….! I used to have very full, long lashes but too much curling has left me with short lashes as I got older. Lately, I’ve been exploring lash serum options but the thought of getting lash extensions never crossed my mind and I’m glad about that because if I can get lice from eyelash extensions that’s just wrong and gross. ABC News 7 reports that it’s very important to properly cleanse your lashes extensions and around your eye after getting extensions as the area is prone to bacteria growth and infection which could result in redness and itchiness but grossest of all, lice.
Using an eyelid margin brush can prevent usses as the brush is small enough to remove makeup, dirt, and debris from your extensions.
The weirdest part about this would be the fact the lice can easily spread as if you wipe your eyes with a towel they can end up on the towel resulting in them ending up in your hair or on your body.
Ugh just thinking about this makes my skin crawl!
I guess I’m sticking to lash serums! Lash extensions sound terrifying.
What do you think of this report from ABC News? Does it freak you out?
