Fake Eyelash Beautiful But Dangerous

Eyelash fixing has become an increasingly popular
trend in the fashion world, becoming a must -
have for women seeking perfection and a
glamorous look, however, neglecting it's health
implications . Artificial eyelashes can also be seen
as one that isn't genuine, real or natural.
Fake eyelashes are nothing new; for decades,
beauty queens, celebrities and models have been
using fake eyelashes and eyelash extensions to
enhance their natural beauty. As with most things
celebrity-oriented, fake eyelashes have become a
commonality among the masses, and young girls
are flocking to local beauty saloons to get the
latest look from stars.
Using fake eyelashes is by far the easiest and
cheapest way to achieve the much-desired ultra-
feminine, sexy look, and the fixing of eyelashes
have become an increasing popular trend that
every fashionista is following, especially one that
wants to look perfect, prim and proper.
But it is beautiful and harmful at the same time,
harmful because if not properly handled, the glue
can get into one's eyes and since it contains
chemicals, it can cause a lot of problems for the
eyes like cornea inflation, irritation and alteration
to the eyes.
Also, the use of harmful chemicals on the
eyelashes can cause them to fall quicker than
they naturally would and artificial lashes cause
the eyelashes to shed quicker than they are
supposed to.
The pressure exerted in fixing the lashes can also
cause damage to the hair follicles of the eyelids,
thus making the natural lash to become sparse,
brittle and break off easily due to too much
pressure on them, leading to slow growth or it
even stops their growth permanently.
When Nigeriafilms.com visited some victims they
had different stories to tell. Miss Behnia Ogodo
does not have such belief. She said that
depending on where you got them fixed and the
quality of lash used, you can do whatever activity
you want with false lashes like swimming, bathing
and washing the face even though people think
that when you have it fixed you cannot wash your
face properly and it is normal to her that she has
tasted it and can't quit.
On the other hand, a student of mass
communication, Chidera has vowed never to fix
fake lashes again. According to her, it made her
very uncomfortable and itchy, and she kept having
the feeling that there was something wrong with
her eyes as she felt heaviness all around.
Probably it was due to the fact that it was her
first time, but not withstanding, she does not
want to go through the stress again and has
resigned herself to using her mascara as she has
always done.
