    With advances in synthetic materials, spotting a faux fur can be difficult. Fortunately there are easy ways to ascertain real fur from a fake or faux hair. I hope this guide will provide you with clear and simple instructions how to check on the lashes you purchased to find out if it’s genuine or fake fur.

    A good way to determine if your lashes are traditional is the price. In the event that you bought your lashes for $5-$20 your lashes are likely a false. You really know what they stating, "you get what you purchase" If lash companies can sell real mink lashes for only $5 that would imply that they bought those lashes for pennies to make a income. Being in this business for many years and dealing with several lash companies including the ones who sell to brand names, I can tell you that you cannot buy genuine mink lashes for pennies. We feel that if you are a lash enthusiast who pays top dollar to come on mink lashes, you have the right know know if you are getting what you purchase.

    Another great way to find out if your lashes are authentic is to do a burn test. Hold a match to the fibers to examine how they melt away and smell. It’s more suitable you do that in a shut down area like over the bathroom sink which means you can determine the scent. When burned, faux fur will usually smells manufactured like plastics. However, genuine fur produces that distinctive burnt wild hair stench. Real hair crinkles up extremely fast just like real human hair will and burns into ash.

    Now we don’t suggest you do that to your beautiful Milanté Lashes because we did it for you! Although it breaks my center to lose one of our own lashes, we wished to show you the results. How many lash companies are willing to do that! As possible plainly see on the picture below our mink lash burnt just like real wild hair and has ashes. And I can attest to the burnt wild hair smell! So there you own it, you are getting real traditional mink fur lashes for only $25! Fraudulent mink lashes aren’t comfortable on the eyes, don’t have a flexible group and feel heavier on the eyes because they’re made of plastic. Also they don’t last you as long as real mink. If you truly want to wear

    mink lashes you need to invest in a pair that is actually authentic.
