Which eyelash extension to choose: mink, sable, silk?
Eyelashes have nothing to do with animal fur, they are made of hypoallergenic synthetic material, which is practically indistinguishable from natural eyelashes. Mink, sable and silk are just names that define different thicknesses of hairs.
Mink
Also called Mink eyelashes, characterized by fine hairs 0.07-0.01 mm, with flexibility and softness, which provides increased wearing comfort. With their use, classic eyelash extensions are well obtained, the mink has a glossy sheen. To achieve a natural effect, neat cilia is the best option.
Silk
Silk lashes are 0.1-0.15mm thick. The hairs are so named because they are characterized by lightness and luster, which are inherent in silk. The eyelashes are a little stiffer and thicker than mink, which helps to achieve the effect of made-up eyes. If you want thick, bright black lashes, then you should use this option.
Sable
The thickness of the hairs is the largest - 0.2 mm, this allows you to make chic and thick eyelashes. But there is one caveat - due to this size, there will be a lot of weight, so extensions can only be done on strong and he althy natural eyelashes. Sable is not quite suitable for permanent wear, it is best to use it for important events, for daily extensions it is wiser to choose lighter eyelashes, mink or silk in this case will be an alternative.

Types of eyelash extensions
Beam
Beamsthey are glued at the base of the cilia in the amount of up to 6 pieces and are suitable for short-term wear. The advantage of such an extension is the affordable cost and the ability to independently perform the procedure without the help of a specialist. The bundles are attached to the skin of the eyelid with glue. If you glue eyelashes on your own, then the extension can be worn for no more than a week, since you can harm your eyelashes. The bundles have a lot of weight for attaching to one eyelash, but you can’t glue it to several, this will interfere with their growth. A significant disadvantage of such an extension is the moment that when the beam falls off, a visible empty space remains. Therefore, bundles are best used for a short time. The eyelash extension studio offers such eyelash extensions for weddings, graduations and other special occasions.
Ciliary
With piece-by-piece extension, one or more artificial hairs are attached to each of its eyelashes. This method is great for long-term wear, because the cilia are separated from each other, they can be combed, and this does not interfere with growth. Wear time depends on the quality of materials and lifestyle, generally 2-4 weeks. Eyelash extensions look very natural, mink if used.
