Eyelash extensions are increasingly common procedures to enhance the eyes without having to apply makeup or put on false eyelashes every day. There are several options of techniques with varying prices on the market, including tufinho lashes. But does this kind of technique pay off?

Getting to know tufinho lashes

Tufinho lashes are a type of eyelash appliqué that is easier to apply than thread by thread. This stretching is done with ready-made tufts, which come with a little knot at the end. As it is a simpler job, it is possible to find the application for an average of 50 to 80 reais, lasting about 25 days.

Specialist Geisi Gonçalves, owner of the company Cílios da Gata, explained the difference in price of tufinho eyelashes for eyelash extensions. According to the specialist, “the value of an eyelash extension varies from 130 to 300 reais, as it is a painstaking job that takes from 1h 15min to 2h to complete”.

Are puffy eyelashes bad for you?

The specialist says that the use of puffy eyelashes is indicated only “with false eyelash glue that comes out with washing or makeup remover” and reinforces that “it should never be done with eyelash extension glue”. According to her, the ball of the knot that comes at the tip of the tufted eyelashes facilitates the gluing of the eyelashes when doing the makeup, but “if you are going to glue this wire with extension glue, you will not be able to properly insulate it for because of that little knot in the tuft” and adds that “it will end up sticking one to the other and the threads will all be stuck together”.

She also highlighted the difference between this technique and the application of Russian volume, as “Russian volume is the eyelash extension technique in which they are mounted fans volume at the time of the procedure, being placed thread by thread on the client’s natural lashes with safety and guarantee; which will not be harmful to the eyelashes, as the work is done with correct insulation and materials suitable for this purpose”.

She explained that the fans assembled on the spot, without the excessive use of glue. Thus, the client’s natural eyelashes grow healthy, without being harmed by the extension.
