What can single-fiber extensions damage if applied incorrectly?

  1. Skin

  2. Natural lashes

  3. Glue

  4. Eye pads

The correct answer is: Natural lashes

When single-fiber extensions are applied incorrectly, they can cause significant damage to the natural lashes. This is because improper application techniques, such as using excessive adhesive, applying extensions that are too heavy, or attaching multiple fibers to one natural lash, can lead to traction alopecia. This condition occurs when the natural lashes become stressed or weighed down, leading to breakage and potentially causing permanent loss of those lashes. Additionally, if the extensions are not properly isolated, they may stick to neighboring lashes instead of being applied to a single eyelash, further increasing the risk of damage or premature shedding of the natural lash. Proper training and adherence to application guidelines are essential to prevent harm to the natural lashes, ensuring they remain healthy and intact while still achieving the desired look with extensions.
