Well if there was any a time to just let go of any beauty regime, a lock down would probably be it. But self care is at the forefront for a lot of us.
Hybrid Lash Extensions - The Lowdown
Hybrid lash extensions are the latest buzzword for lash technicians, lets find out why!
There’s been a lot of interest (and confusion) about the hybrid lash extensions - so I thought I would take the time to clarify what they are, and whether it’s as glam or as natural as you need. They’re super popular; and for all the right reasons!
So before I go into hybrid’s, it’s good to understand a bit of lash terminology first.
Individual lash extensions are the classic technique, with one lash extension placed on one natural lash. As with all the techniques (the individuals, volumes and hybrids), there are various lengths, curls, and thicknesses for a bespoke look to work with your eye shape and natural lashes.
The volume lash extensions, also known as Russian volume, are multiple extensions, from 2-6 extensions, on one natural lash. You might have heard the term 3D lashes - this would mean 3 extensions on one natural lash. 2D is 2 extensions on one lash, 4D is 4 extensions, etc etc… These volume lashes are ultra thin, and weigh the same amount as an individual lash extension. So cause no extra weight.
So now onto hybrid, hoorah! Hybrid lash extensions are a 50/50 mix, half individual 1 to 1 classic extensions, and the other half volume lash extensions.
Hybrid lash extensions give the best of both volume and individuals - offering a denser, thicker look than the individuals, but a less uniformed and softer look that is achieved with volumes.
Hybrid's are great for clients who have natural gaps or fine lashes - as the volumes can hide these sparse areas you may have. At Belleza Natural, your natural lashes are always taken into consideration when deciding the best look and style for you - knowing what your natural lashes can support so you continue to have healthy happy lashes all the time :) No need for breaks!
You could go for a staggered, spikey look (often known as the Kim Karsadhian look) or go for a shorter more natural whispy set. Here’s an example of a hybrid set I’ve done recently.

5 creative ways to wear pink for October's Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Wearing pink is just a small simple way you can show support for this cause. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women worldwide and the second-most common cancer overall. There are a number of ways to raise awareness, learn more here about how you can get involved. Here’s 5 fun simple ways to wear pink for Breast Cancer Awareness:
Pink Nails
Shellac is half gel, half polish product by Creative Nail Design (CND) that is a staple of any nail addict. From Bubble Bath, to Hotter Than You Pink, you can't really go wrong with your favorite pink shade.
Pink Lashes
If you love lashes and you love pink, consider lash highlights! They can be subtle and stylish all at the same time.
Tree Of Life Pendant
Not exactly pink, but true to the cause and stunning. Alex Woo’s tree of life pendant was designed with the award winning actress and breast cancer survivor Christina Applegate, to represent harmony, hope and renewal.
Pink Hair Don’t Care.
Says it all really - amazing.
Come On Barbie, Let’s Go Party.
Moschino's SS15 Milan collection was a frenzied flash of pink, hot pants, muled sandals, huge plastic smiles and even bigger bouffant blonde curls. Any excuse to rock this good time girl Barbie look I'd say.

Celebrity eyelash extensions - Hollywood's hottest trend.
You may or may not have noticed, but actors, singers and other celebs live for their eyelash extensions! Feeling more glamorous with long, luscious lashes, eyelash extensions have become a huge trend all over the world and of course Ibiza. Let's take a look at 6 celebrities who rock their eyelash extensions:
Kim Kardashian
The 'Kim Kardashian look' is actually a 'thing' in the eyelash extension business. A mixture of classic and volume lashes, with varying lengths throughout to create a 'spike' look. Only suitable for strong natural lashes who can take this fuller, glam look.
Katy Perry
Whether Katy's shopping for her fruit and veg, or on stage - she always looks on point. And eyelash extensions are her secret. Katy goes for the doll shaped look - longer lashes in the centre of the eye, with volume extensions, C curl.
Beyonce
The singer says 'she wakes up like this' - and technically she does, because eyelash extensions mean you look glam from the moment you wake up!
Selena Gomez
Selena goes for volume over length, as we know that a shorter length creates the illusion of thicker eyelash extensions. Selena's eyes are smaller and almond shaped, so she sticks to a more natural length with a cat eye shape.
Jennifer Lopez
Jenny is the queen of glam - and her eyelash extensions enhance this look. Jennifer loves the cat eye look - to emphasise and maximise her almond shaped eyes.

How to keep your eyelash extensions clean
If you've had eyelash extensions before, you'll be familiar with the aftercare of not getting the lashes wet for 24 hours. But some people take this advice a little too far, and don't get them wet at all ever - gross!
Some people may notice a build up of gunk (dead skin, old make up, oils) on their lash line - then of course this needs to be cleaned. Clogged lashes can be unhygienic. Also, if the lashes are not clean when you arrive for your next lash appointment - the technician will spend more time cleaning them which eats into your precious extension application time. Dirty lashes can potentially create a shorter life of extensions as oils build up on the lashes causing them to fall out sooner.
So how should you keep your lashes clean... It's usually ok to clean the lashes just with water. Oil free eye make up remover is great to remove make up also. Just be sure to not use cotton wall buds or face wipes - the fibres will pull at the eyelash extensions. Also face wipes are full of oils. I recommend using a Q Tip (ear bud) that's damp with water, and gently stroke along the lash line.
It could be useful to use baby shampoo and lukewarm water if you notice you need to clean your lash line more thoroughly. With your finger tips, work the foam right into the lash line, rinse, pat dry and allow your lashes to dry naturally.
All these methods can be incorporated into your daily skincare routing. If you're in the shower, try to avoid putting your face directly under the shower stream.
Clean your lashes every day or every second day, and be sure they're squeaky clean before your next lash appointment. Simple and quick ways to keep those lashes healthy and the eyelash extensions lasting for longer.

The Do's and Dont's of Eyelash Extensions
Belleza Natural believes that there’s more to eyelash extensions than just application, which is why I've created this blog to explore the ‘Do’s & Dont’s of Lash Extensions”. Proper care is essential for healthy eyelash extensions. With proper care, you can prolong the life of your lashes, maintain proper hygiene, and keep your beautiful lashes healthy.
After you get your lashes done, follow these steps to keep lashes healthy:
DO – Cleanse lashes daily using an extension safe cleanser
DO – Use a clean mascara wand to comb through and groom lashes daily
DO – Use oil free cosmetics and face wash to avoid breaking down bonds
DO – Use extension safe mascaras
DO – Follow advice of lash artist or professional esthetician
To maintain the utmost health and integrity of lashes, we recommend avoiding the following:
DON’T – Get lashes wet within 24-48 hours of application
DON’T – Come in contact with heat sources such as saunas, fires or BBQ’s
DON’T – Pull or twist lashes. This can cause your natural lash to fall out
DON’T – Use heated curlers on synthetic lashes, this can cause melting
DON’T – Forget to remove make-up or skin oil residue daily
DON’T – Remove eyelash extensions yourself
DON’T – Attempt to apply lashes on yourself

Revolutionary Lashes
Volume Russian Lashes is a revolutionary lashing technique where 2 to 6 super fine extensions are applied to one single natural eyelash - SAFELY - creating a look so soft and full it seems to be enhanced with Photoshop!
Whatever your lash look, volume lashes are suitable for everyday wear and a real treat on special occasions.
Eyelash Extensions: How to make them last
1. Arrive to the appointment with clean eyes. Be sure that your lashes are free of any makeup and/or oily residue. Not only does this speed up the application time, the adhesive will stick better to clean lashes.
2. This means shower before your appointment and/or wash your hair & body separately.
3. For 48 hours after your application, you should avoid steam. No saunas, hot yoga, sweaty gym sessions, etc.
4. Make sure the products you use are all oil free. Oils in your makeup remover, skin care products, makeup, etc will breakdown the adhesive on your lashes. Ask Belleza Natural for recommended products.
5. Where no mascara on your extensions! It becomes very difficult to remove the mascara from the extensions.
6. Do not pull or tug on your lashes. If they're criss-crossing, use a disposable mascara wand to comb through your lashes, root to end.
7. Less is more. The less eye makeup you wear, the less your play with your lashes, the longer they will last.
