Two types of false eyelashes
There are two types of Eyelash extensions that an individual can choose from to enhance the natural look of each Eyelash on their Eyelid. There are extensions where an eyelash Technician professionally glues fake eyelashes to ones individual eyelash to overall Enhance its look. This usually lasts two weeks to a month, until ones real eyelashes naturally falls out due to growth. There are also extensions where synthetic or real human hair is attached to a thin strip that would be manually glued to ones eyelid that lasts typically a day until the glue wears off

Eyelash extensions
The cost of having someone manually apply eyelash extensions depends on the salon or the individual person having their own prices. Salons typically have you spend around two hundred to three hundred dollars, with Mink quality eyelashes costing around five hundred dollars. Prices depend on the quality of eyelashes they use,the quality of the adhesive, the labor, environment where the work takes place, as well as the overall look of eyelashes, depending if you would want a more full or natural look. Classic eyelash extensions cost cheaper than volume eyelash extensions as it is less labor and less fake individual eyelashes to one eye. Volume eyelash extensions is a harder process for eyelash technicians to preform as it requires more skill and time, causing the price to be higher

Strip eyelashes
Strip eyelashes cost significantly less than eyelash extensions because they are already made for you, and you would have to apply them manually yourself, as well as the fact that they do not last on your eye for more than a day, and are sometimes a Disposable product. They cost anything in between one dollar to fifty dollars depending on the Brand of strip eyelashes as well as the quality

Dangers and Risks
No matter which individual decides to choose for themselves whether it be to have eyelash extensions or apply false eyelashes, the dangers and risks are the same as both are dealing with ones eyes. They can add long term damage to your eyes from the continued wear and application and can affect the overall natural eyelashes of ones eyes

Although eyelash extensions cause many of these infections, temporary false eyelashes can almost the same harm as well. Pulling false eyelashes off can also remove ones natural lashes if those fake hairs get in the way, the traction causing Alopecia areata which is similar caused by extensions. False lashes can also trap dirt and bacteria, causing irritation and infection, with a reaction to the glue that can cause allergic swelling of the ones eyelids
