Which Is Better For You?
Choose Cashmere Lashes if: you are a professional lash artist applying semi-permanent extensions, you want consistent curl retention, or you prefer cruelty-free products.
Mink lashes are primarily used in strip lash form and are not recommended for semi-permanent lash extension application due to inconsistent curl and poor water resistance.

FAQ
1. Are cashmere lashes really softer than regular synthetic lashes?
Yes. Cashmere lashes use a finer, more flexible PBT fibre that feels softer against the natural lash and eyelid. They are particularly popular for sensitive clients and bridal sets.
2. Do mink lashes hold their curl?
No. Real mink fur loses its curl when wet, making it unsuitable for semi-permanent lash extensions. Synthetic cashmere lashes maintain their curl permanently.
3. Are cashmere lashes cruelty-free?
Yes. Cashmere lashes are made from synthetic PBT fibre and contain no animal-derived materials.
4. Which is better for bridal sets?
Cashmere lashes. Their ultra-soft texture and lightweight feel make them ideal for bridal clients who want a natural, comfortable look that lasts through the wedding day and honeymoon.
5. Can I use cashmere lashes for volume sets?
Yes. Cashmere 0.05mm lashes are excellent for light volume and hybrid sets. Their soft texture creates a natural, feathery fan effect.
