Plucking them will only damage your natural lashes, and your extensions will eventually grow and shed with your natural eyelash cycle, Richardson emphasizes.

Once natural eyelashes are damaged, it can take several months for them to grow back to their original length and thickness.

If you're looking for a safe way to remove lash extensions at home without damaging your natural lashes, there are several options available.

Another option is using a specialised lash extension remover which is designed specifically for removing lash extensions without damaging natural lashes. It's important to remember that removing lash extensions at home can be tricky and time consuming. It's best to seek professional help if you're unsure about how to safely remove them yourself.
Professional lash technicians are trained in proper removal techniques and can help ensure that no damage is done to your natural lashes.
