The eyelash extension industry is constantly evolving as our knowledge improves. It is important to keep up with the most updated information and state-of-the-art technique if you want what’s best for the health of your natural lashes.
In this case, cluster lashes (also called flare lashes) were popular 10-15 years ago, but we now know they should be avoided at all costs.
Cluster lashes will cause damage to your natural lashes because they are too heavy and attached to multiple natural lashes at once. Because too much glue is used for the application, when the cluster lashes fall off, they will pull out your natural lashes. This will cause your natural lashes to thin and create bald spots.
Cluster lashes (also known as flares) were popular over 10 years ago.
5 to 10 fairly thick extensions, usually 0.15s were tied together at the base, and the fan-shaped “flares” were glued onto 2 to 3, sometimes more, natural lashes.
For example, using 10 cluster lashes that are made of 10 thick extensions would result in 100 extensions attached to one eye.
Many lash salons loved it because it would increase the number of clients they can take, and thus their sales, while achieving a dramatic look.
The technique was a lot easier compared to single eyelash extensions application as it does not require precise isolation of the natural lashes. Cluster lashes were not as time-consuming as the single lash extensions.
Because cluster lashes were attached to multiple natural lashes, and often all the flares on an eye were glued together to form a big fan, the flares would interfere with the growth cycle of the natural lashes.
Also because so much glue was used for the application, when the flares fell off, it would often pull out quite a few natural lashes, causing the natural lashes to thin, and create bald spots.
Back in the day, the eyelash extensions industry was still new, and most eyelash stylists had no knowledge of the eyelash growth cycle and how natural lashes could potentially be damaged through eyelash extensions procedures.
