Can you use castor oil with eyelash extensions?

Have you ever heard someone say, “Castor oil can do wonders for your eyelashes?” Whether you have apt hearing or not, there is a high probability that you have. But wait! Before you start to use castor oil on your beautiful eyelash extensions, let’s delve deeper into this matter.

What are Eyelash Extensions?

It would be irrational of me just to give an answer in the affirmative and continue writing; I’d feel rude without introducing what eyelash extensions actually are. So here goes nothing!

Eyelash extensions refer to synthetic fibers from silk or mink (but they’re often man-made) glued onto each individual natural lash using semi-permanent glue.

Types of Lash Extension Curls

Who knew there were different types right? Well now we both know so why not read up a bit:
J Curl: Recommended for those with naturally straight lashes.
B Curl: Suitable for individuals who want a subtle look.
C Curl: These curl types offer more definition than the ‘B’ curls — it gives off a cat-eye style effect.
D Curl: This type offers even more drama than the others.

Yeah…you get my point!

Why Do People Apply Castor Oil On Their Lashes?

Castor oil contains fatty acids and vitamin E —two elements essential in keeping our skin and hair nourished. Naturally, people assume that applying it can help speed up natural growth while keeping existing lashes moisturized and hydrated by penetrating deep into hair follicles. But does it work as well when applied alongside lash extensions?

The Truth About Applying Castor Oil on Lashed Eyes

The million-dollar question – How do castor oil affect fake lashes after application? Let’s see:

Damage Control

Lucky enough – no damage occurs when castrol oil comes in contact with natural or fake lashes. A personal friend confirmed; castor oil on eyelash extensions is like peanut butter and jelly sandwiched by two slices of bread.

The Hypothetical Dilemma

Okay, so we know there’s no damage inflicted by lash extension–castor oil duo, but this tale wouldn’t be fairytale-like if I didn’t introduce at least one hypothetical setback to the use.

Let’s assume that you applied castrol oil excessively and unable to rinse it off before bringing it into contact with your lash professional. Under these circumstances, residual substances or grease may cause some mild issues for the glue bond sticking both faux and natural eyelashes together.

Pros Cons
Moisturizes If rubbed in too often might weaken bonds
Promotes growth Leaves a greasy residue

It Takes Another Perspective to Begin To Play With Fire

Since everything can have pros and cons attached let’s explore further:

Possible Downsides of Playing Around Castrol Oil

I mean hair grows rapidly when told nicely – what about excess growth? Remember those different types we earlier discussed?

The lingering possibility resides in possibly affecting the curl type embedded during application due to overgrown hair strands tugging down (say hello now with me Hello gravity!). Although rare – let’s not take an unnecessary chance right?

Another point worth mentioning is irritation as everyone stipulates skin reacts differently although including said side-effects could’ve been titled “Stating the Obvious.”

Does head lice make an emergency call visit through our eyes when applying castor oils?
In-game shows like Who Wants To Be A Millionaire put on a suspenseful tune before providing answer choices ranging from “This ain’t it” reply option all up until “Shoot Your Shot!”

Regarding using this product alongside your extensions however, that’s a trick question. It’s safe, and there are no cases anywhere on this planet reported yet of castor oil with eyelash extensions causing head lice or any other type of condition.

Conclusion

Now you know whether to use Castor oil in all its rejuvenating goodness on your lashes. Will it make them pop off? No, sir! It’s safe as the original bond lies in semi-permanent glue- it’ll keep those beauties locked securely into place until the next refill round.

However, forays into overdosing operations or adding an extra layer simultaneously can lead to mild complications but not otherwise upon correct application.

Do we look good? Yes!!
