Eyelash extensions don't come off. They just don't come off. You can't take them off. They stay attached to your natural eyelashes until your eyelashes fall out naturally, or UNNATURALLY, like when you're gently drying your face with a towel after your shower and a loop of terry cloth catches the unnaturally thick fake eyelash and RIPS IT OUT BY THE ROOT.
Yes, I am yet again relegated to fashion and beauty industry victim status, as three weeks later I have half long (really really long now that my own eyelashes have grown and pushed the fake lashes out even more), thick, eyelash extensions and half my own soft, short, wispy eyelashes, combined with more than a few gaps from a few of these towel incidents. The only way to hide this disaster is to wear a really solid layer of matte, dark brown eyeshadow every day and skip my usual bang trim, so that's what's currently happening... my eyelashes are a disaster but it doesn't matter because my bangs are covering them and I have spackled them with dark brown eyeshadow.
I also started using Latisse, which is the eyelash growth drug (prescription only) that Brooke Shields is hawking. It takes about 12 weeks to see noticeable results, and by then my lashes would likely have repaired themselves anyway, but Latisse works by lengthening the natural growth cycle of each eyelash, so this should speed up the process. I love that Latisse is prescribed for the condition "hypotrichosis" - "not enough or inadequate hair". Apparently sparse eyelashes are a medical condition. Will keep you posted.

My goodness! I'm sorry to hear about your misfortune. I wanted to try lash extensions, but now I definitely don't. So thank you.
I hope Latisse works out for you.
