HISTORY OF EYELASH EXTENSIONS: THE 21ST CENTURY

By the 21st century more advanced eyelash extension methods came into
use. Unlike the artificial eyelashes of the past modern eyelash extensions
are far more precise. Lash extensions were developed in either Japan or
Korea in the early 2000s (based off older techniques) these methods
achieved widespread use by 2004.

In the beginning of the 21st century, Korean scientists managed to
create an artificial lash that perfectly captured form and curl of a
natural lash. The first person to perform a lash-by-lash extension
was Pashu Paing.

Lots of people know Shu Uemura as a father of eyelash extension, who
gifted Madonna with an unforgettable captivating glance using his new
technology in 2003.

For Japanese women it became a total lifesaver because Asian
people have a unique eyelid shape that makes their lashes
practically invisible. This new procedure allowed for making very
long extensions, hence — achieving greater results. To this day
classic lash extension is still sometimes called Japanese Lash-by-
Lash Extension.

As you can see eyelash extensions have an interesting history. It is
one of ever improving techniques. From the earlier methods using
very primitive design, to the more effective but still somewhat fake
looking lashes of the 1960s, to the lightweight and stylish eyelashes
of the 21st century. It is a very important part of the fashion
industry and one that continues to evolve and grow in popularity.

Becoming favored by celebrities and famous movies stars eyelash
extensions have only increased in popularity. Modern eyelash
extensions are composed of single hairs attached to your existing
eyelashes with a medical grade adhesive. These eyelash extensions
come in a wide variety of styles, colors, and materials. Materials
include human hair, synthetic silk, polyester, and Siberian mink fur.
Modern lashes are lightweight, comfortable, far superior and made
of a synthetic material called Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT).
