Do your new eyelash extensions make you feel like Yzma from the movie Emperor’s New Groove? Some off-brand eyelash extensions can end up making you look like an alpaca or a giraffe. Both of which have naturally long eyelashes that look unnatural on a human being. Not to worry, follow these steps to fix eyelash extensions that are too long.
If you are thinking of cutting your eyelash extensions that are too long, you may want to hold up. Cutting eyelash extension while they are attached is a huge no-no for several reasons;
- You may end up cutting your natural eyelashes
- You may injure yourself in the process
- You may end up with unevenly cut eyelashes that will make you look like a mess.
- You may tug at your eyelashes pulling them off together with your natural eyelashes
What To Do If My Eyelash Extensions Are Too Long
If you notice they are too long before you get them installed, have the aesthetician trim them before attaching them to your natural lashes. Right off the bat, you can ask your lash technician to replace them before you leave the beauty parlor. This will save you the constant feeling of discontent later on.

There are other ways to shorten eyelash extensions that do not involve cutting them. You can try bending them upwards in such a way that they are slightly curved, so they look somewhat shorter. This may loosen the glue used, but you will look much better.
To avoid this hassle, confirm the length with the eyelash technician before they are installed. They should have eyelash extension length charts and sponges for you to choose your ideal length. If you are installing the false lashes at home, make sure you measure them and trim if necessary before you attach them.
