Have you ever noticed that men often have beautiful, full lashes? It’s not just a cruel twist of fate – men usually treat lashes more gently than those of us who coat them with makeup and glue on the daily. Lush, full lashes are a sought after accessory, but you can get them without falsies!

Lash extensions have soared in popularity in recent years. While you may seek these out looking for fuller lashes, extensions have been the culprit of more eyelashes falling out due to the extra stress on follicles.
