What You Need to Know About Eyebrow Extensions
You may have heard about eyebrow extensions and wondered how professionals apply eyebrow extensions. Don’t fret, this article will give you all that you need to know about eyebrow extensions and you’ll leave fulfilled…just like your potential eyebrows!
In our Beauty Solon, we do eyebrow extensions in Tavares, FL 32778, on a daily basis. From our combined experience with over 20+ years, we know that eyebrow extensions are not how wizards (and Andy Rooney from 60 Minutes) maintain those splendid fuzzy caterpillars they call eyebrows.
In fact, eyebrow extensions are very similar to eyelash extensions.
Each eyebrow hair gets its very own little synthetic hair (usually silk or mink). This process, along with a wax, creates a perfectly shaped, full eyebrow. Colors typically come in blond, brown, auburn, and red; and in many beauty salons, the Esthetician will even tint your natural brow color to match the extensions!
How Long Do Eyebrow Extensions Last?
Extensions can last up to 14 days with proper maintenance, and refills are recommended every 7-10 days.
Why get eyebrow extensions?
We know what you are thinking,
“Don’t we spend a great deal of time getting rid of those pesky eyebrow hairs to achieve ultimate brow beauty? Why would I add extra!?”
While those out of place hairs need to go, remember that people often fill in their brows with makeup! A practiced Esthetician knows just how to attach the extensions to create the perfect shape and consistency. That’s right, your brows woke up like this!
Eyebrows are very important for facial symmetry and wonderfully groomed brows can really do a lot to bring a look together. Eyebrow extensions can be especially beneficial for those with eyebrow hair loss from skin conditions or illness, because they really help to fill in any bare patches. They can also be directly applied to the skin if there are no hairs left; though they won’t last as long without natural hairs to attach to.
Now, you might be thinking, “That’s neat, but I don’t have any issues with my eyebrows.”
Great! However, extensions are also amazing for special occasions such as weddings, prom, and professional photo shoots, or for those who want to take their great looking brows to the next level and be fabulous!
For those with very light eyebrow hair who want a longer lasting bold look, eyebrow extensions might be just the thing!!
If you are watching a movie and thinking an actor’s eyebrows are especially on point, they likely had extensions done for the role.
Do I Haver To Prepare For Eyebrow Extensions?
Just like eyelash extensions, maintenance is important. To prepare for getting extensions, make sure not to wear any makeup or products on the eyebrow area. You want clean hair and clean skin, so that the adhesive will effectively bond to the surface.
How to make your Eyebrow Extensions Last
Below are some great tips for maintaining your eyebrow extensions to ensure they last as long as possible! For eyebrow extensions to dry and the adhesive to fully bond wait at least 24 hours (48 is better!) before doing the following activities:
- Refrain from washing your face (don’t scrub your eyebrows while extensions are in).
- Refrain from activities that will cause excessive sweating, such as working out.
- Refrain from getting your face wet in the shower. **A good tip is to wrap a dry cloth around your brow area, if you must shower within that time frame, to help keep the area as dry as possible.
- Applying Make-up or oil based products to the area. *Ask us about the best products to use to help your extensions last longer!

- Do not brush brows, but rather only use your finger tips to guide hairs into place.
- Refills are recommended every 7-10 days to maintain a full look.
