Natural Lashes vs. Artificial Fiber: Why PBT is the Superior Choice

1

Curious about the best material for lash extensions? Many clients and lash artists ask about natural fiber options. At Lovely, we exclusively use PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) for our lash extensions. 

Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) is a type of thermoplastic polyester known for its durability and resilience. It is the preferred material for lash extensions due to several key characteristics that make it superior to other materials. We have chosen this fiber for several reasons. 

Actually, for these reasons we don’t work with natural hair, like rabbit and horse. 

Why PBT is Ideal for Lash Extensions:

1. Durability: PBT is incredibly resistant to wear and tear, ensuring that your lash extensions maintain their shape and integrity over time. Unlike natural hair, PBT lashes remain stable despite exposure to temperature changes, water, and humidity. Natural hair extensions can lose their shape after several baths, but PBT maintains its form in all conditions.

2. Flexibility: PBT's flexibility allows lash extensions to mimic the natural movement of real lashes. This material ensures consistent quality, with equal lengths, curls, and widths in every tray and line. Natural hair, on the other hand, lacks uniformity, making it nearly impossible to achieve consistent measurements even within the same tray.

3. Hypoallergenic: PBT is hypoallergenic, making it safe for prolonged use, especially for clients with sensitive eyes. Natural hair can provoke allergic reactions, whereas Lovely’s PBT fiber provides a safe and comfortable experience for all users.

4. Heat and Chemical Resistance: PBT can withstand high temperatures and exposure to various chemicals, ensuring the lashes maintain their quality in different environmental conditions. Additionally, Lovely's PBT fibers are odorless, unlike natural animal hair, which can have an unpleasant smell, especially when wet.

5. Smooth Texture: The smooth and glossy texture of PBT fibers gives a natural and attractive look, enhancing the overall appearance of lash extensions. This texture ensures that the lashes blend seamlessly with natural lashes for a flawless finish.

6. Color Retention: PBT retains color exceptionally well, ensuring that your lash extensions maintain their rich, black hue without fading over time. This consistent color quality is crucial for achieving a striking and lasting look.

Well, we think now we have dispelled myths about natural hair lashes. By choosing lash extensions made from PBT, you ensure a high-quality, long-lasting product that provides both comfort and beauty to your clients.

Good luck and comfortable materials for you!
