Feel Effortlessly Beautiful, One Blink At A Time
What are Straight Lashes?
Straight lashes are the type that grow parallel to the eye, rather than curl up or out as we’d like. This can create a lash that looks less thick or that do not make the eyes appear as wide as you would like them to. If you have straight lashes, they may seem a bit more flat, placing a lot less focus on the eyes. Straight, natural lashes may not showcase the eyes to effect, and a lot of people want ways to make their lashes look better.
What Causes Straight Lashes?
Many factors can cause straight lashes such as:
- Genetics: If you inherited from your mom or dad, the shape and direction of your lashes depends on that one genetic factor of how they are going to grow.
- Age: As we age, your lashes will lose their curl and become straighter, weaker and thinner.
- Hormones: Pregnancy, menopause or internal processes can affect the growth and texture of lashes.
- Health: Some health conditions or medications can interfere with the natural growth cycle of your lashes and produce less curly lashes.
What Do Straight Lashes Look and Feel Like?
- Straight Growth: Lashes grow out straight or parallel to the lid with little to no curl that will also raise the eye’s appearance.
- Flat Look: Straight lashes can look flatter/less full compared to more lifted/curled lashes.
- Feel: Lashes that are straight, they can feel spare or sparse, even forgoing the natural lift that a curled lash tends to maintain.
