There are plenty of different types of false lashes available in the market today. These different types of extensions can give you a glamorous look that you have always wanted. The main question in many peoples' mind is what is the difference between one type of extension and another? The most common falsies are silk, synthetic and mink lashes. There are some crucial differences between silk, synthetic, and mink lashes that you need to know.

Synthetic Lashes

These extensions are primarily made of acrylic material. Acrylic gives these lashes a glossy and a shiny appearance. These lashes are suitable for ladies who love a dramatic look because they are outstanding and easily recognized. One advantage of these lashes is that they are durable and can retain the curls for a long period. This means you can reuse the synthetic lashes more than two times and they will be still in good condition. However, they are not as smooth or does not give the natural appearance as compared to silk and mink lashes.

Synthetic lashes are more suitable for younger ladies who have naturally thick eyelashes. Since they are a little bit heavy, they cannot be worn for very long. If you would wish to look glamorous and sexy for a red carpet photo shoot, you can apply the synthetic lashes. Another advantage is that these falsies do not weaken your natural eyelashes. 

Silk Lashes

Silk lashes are lighter and finer that the synthetic extensions. You can wear these type of falsies for long because they are fine and of light weight. When compared to the synthetic lashes, the silk lashes can last a little bit longer than the synthetic extensions. Silk lashes are comfortable to wear and are appropriate for older clients as well as younger ones who want to keep it simple. Suitable for clients who have weak and thin eyelashes. 

Just like the synthetic extensions, silk lashes are available in different lengths and curls to give you an option to choose the type that fits you best. They give a more natural look than synthetic lashes that gives a stagy or plastic look. If you want to achieve a natural look, silk lashes are best for you.

Mink Lashes

Mink lashes are artificially made to mimic the characteristics of a real animal fur. They are softer and finer the silk lashes. They are water resistant. Hence their curls still remain even after being exposed to water. However, in case they lose their curls, you can reinstate the curls by using a curler. Since they are very fine and soft, you will not have any trouble while trying to return the curls. They need proper care for them to last for long. Just like the synthetic lashes, they are also shiny and glossy. The mink lashes take the longest time to apply as compared to synthetic and mink falsies. It is because they are very fine hence you will apply more lashes. 

Having known these basic differences, you are now able to choose the eye extensions that suits you.
