With advances in synthetic materials, spotting a faux fur can be difficult. Thankfully there are easy ways to ascertain real hair from a false or faux fur. I am hoping this guide will give you clear and simple instructions on how to check on the lashes you purchased to determine if it is genuine or fake fur.

One method to see whether your lashes are authentic is the price. If you bought your lashes for $5-$20 your lashes are most likely a imitation. You know very well what they declaring, "you get what you pay for" If lash companies can sell traditional mink lashes for only $5 that could imply that they bought those lashes for pennies to produce a income. Being in this business for quite some time and working with several lash companies like the ones who sell to brands, I can tell you that you cannot buy authentic mink lashes for pennies. We feel that if you are a lash lover who pays top dollar to get real mink lashes, you hold the right know know if you’re getting what you pay for.

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 the way they burn off and smell. It’s preferable you do that in a shut down area like over the toilet sink so you can determine the smell. When burned, faux fur will usually smells unnatural like plastics. However, genuine fur produces that distinctive burnt locks smell. Real hair crinkles up very fast just like real human hair does indeed and burns into ash.

Now we don’t suggest you do that to your beautiful Milanté Lashes because we achieved it for you! Although it breaks my heart to burn one of our very own lashes, we wished to demonstrate the results. Just how many lash companies are willing to do that! As you can evidently see on the picture below our mink lash burned just like real wild hair and has ashes. And I can vouch for the burnt scalp smell! So there you own it, you are getting real traditional mink fur

lashes for only $25! Artificial mink lashes aren’t comfortable on the sight, don’t have a flexible group and feel bulkier on the eyes because they are made of clear plastic. Also they won’t last you so long as real mink. In the event that you truly wish to wear mink lashes you need to invest in a pair that is actually authentic.
