This blog post is for all of you girls who are looking to get false lashes put on. I have the perfect answer! Individual lashes vs. strip lashes, which one should you choose? Well, there are a few things to consider before deciding.

First off, individual lashes will be more expensive than strips because they take much longer to put on and apply. On the other hand, individual lash extensions last up to six weeks, while strip ones can sometimes last only two weeks or less. If you're not sure what kind of look you want, then it might be best if you go with strips--they're easier and cheaper but remember that they don't last as long as individual ones do!

What Are Individual Lashes?

Individual lashes are a type of false extension that goes on one lash at a time. Individual lashes give you a full look, so if you want to have fuller-looking lashes, then this is definitely the way to go! Individual lash extensions take about two hours and sometimes even longer, depending on how thick your natural eyelashes are. They are applied with an eyelash adhesive.

What Are Strip Lashes?

Strips are made of synthetic/ natural materials, making them much easier for you or your Lash Tech or an esthetician to apply--it's basically foolproof because they're pre-cut into certain sizes. Because these strip lashes come in different sizes, finding ones that fit perfectly with every person wearing them can be difficult, but most people find success when wearing strips. The cost of wearing strip lashes is significantly cheaper.

Cons

-You have to put them on when you want to wear them.

-Can be time-consuming in the morning ( there are 2 in 1 eyeliner lash adhesives to help speed up the time to put it on. It Works way better than lash glue.)

-Strip lashes can be uncomfortable.

-You may need to cut the strip lash if it is too big for your eyes and doesn't fit properly on your lid. To make sure they fit the corner of your eyes

-False eyelashes are synthetic, so they don't look as natural as individual ones do. ( There are very natural-looking strip lashes.) Just the synthetic ones don't look as natural.

-They rub off easily or fall out of place because they aren't applied all the way through like Individual Lashes are.

-Some adhesive used for strips isn’t strong enough to hold them throughout an entire day, which means you have to touch up every now and again depending on how active you are during wear time (i.e., gym). Staying still will help prolong use, but there's no guarantee that they won come loose after a little.

Who did we choose as the Winner?

When it comes down to the winner, we can't say which one would win. It really depends on what styles you want are important to you. We did the calculation of the cost it would be to wear both lashes.

Individual lashes cost per day at $100 to get them on, and last 4 weeks = $3.5 to wear a day.

Strip lashes cost per day at $15 pairs that last 25 wears 4 weeks = $.06 per day.

Strip lashes win the cost, but once again, it comes down to what is important to you.
