Can I use Eyelash Curlers with Eyelash Extensions?

     We do not recommend using mechanical eyelash curlers on your eyelash extensions as these curlers will damage the extensions and possibly your own natural lashes. The extensions do have a natural curl but if more of a curl is required we recommend using a heated eyelash curler. The heated eye curler should not be hot enough to affect the glue used during your eyelash extension application.
