What Are the Best Eyelash Extensions?
Whether you are new to the world of eyelash extensions or have been in the industry since its early days, it’s completely normal to have questions about the different types of lash extensions available. For example, why are some called “Black Diamond” or “Chocolat Line”?
The Origins of Eyelash Extensions
All eyelash extensions offered by Beautiful Academy (and the vast majority of the industry) are made from a synthetic fiber called PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate). This type of plastic is known for its strength, ability to maintain its shape, and hypoallergenic properties, making it the ideal material for eyelash extensions.
In the early days of lash extensions, some were made from mink fur, a small, furry animal resembling a ferret with soft hair. Fortunately, this practice has been eliminated, as it was both unethical and inferior in quality. Mink lashes did not retain their curl, were not water-resistant, had uneven lengths, and could trigger allergic reactions.
Today, premium synthetic lash extensions provide better consistency, durability, and a cruelty-free alternative, ensuring long-lasting, flawless results.
When to Use Each Type of Eyelash Extension?

How to Choose the Right Eyelash Extensions?
To achieve flawless results, intense lash sets, and long-lasting retention, it is essential to choose a premium brand of eyelash extensions that offers high-quality fibers. Here’s how to recognize premium-quality eyelash extensions:
✔️ Consistent fiber structure – No irregularities in thickness
✔️ Intense pigmentation – The color should be rich from base to tip, with no gray or faded ends
✔️ Smooth, non-frizzy fibers – Ensures a polished, professional finish
✔️ Uniform lengths – All lashes in a tray should be the same length for perfect symmetry
A high-end lash brand should also offer a complete range of curls, thicknesses, and lengths to suit every lash artist’s needs.
