Can I attach a lash extension from the side?

There is no written rule in lash extension from which direction you must attach the extensions. It’s okay to attach from the side and bottom as well. Just make sure the base of the extension is parallel to the natural lash, and you have enough bonding surface.

Top attachment: The most common and popular method. Works especially well for the straight and downward natural lashes.

Side attachment: The advantage of the side attachment method is that it makes the lashes fuller. This works especially well on the client with not enough natural lashes. However, do not choose this method if your client has curly natural lashes. It’s hard to get enough bonding surface from the side when the natural lashes have strong curls.

Bottom attachment: This is the second most popular attachment method after the top attachment. This works especially well on clients with upward-looking and curly natural lashes.
