The History And Future of Eyelash Extensions: From Innovation To Globalization

Eyelash aesthetics has been at the center of modern beauty through technological iterations and market trials. At the forefront of the industry, we've taken a concise look at the history and key trends.

I. Historical Evolution: Technology-Driven and Regulatory Improvements

1. Origin of technology (1980s)

• South Korean factories utilized false eyelash remnants and pioneered single-grafting technology, laying the foundation for the industry.

2. Commercialization in Japan (2000-2008)

• Introduced to Japan in 2000, with a proliferation of salons and suppliers; the Cosmetology Law established industry norms in 2008.

3. Safety Rectification (2010-2015)

• In 2010, the Japanese government issued safety guidelines and mandatory risk disclosure; in 2015, a national report warned that “risks cannot be eradicated”, forcing technology upgrades.

4. Globalization Challenge (2017-2020)

• In 2017, the formaldehyde glue incident accelerated the research and development of formaldehyde-free glue; in 2020, the epidemic gave rise to the demand for home DIY, broadening the consumption scene.

II. The future trend: safety, efficiency and responsibility

1. Market expansion

The global scale exceeds hundreds of billions, the rise of new groups such as men and medical restoration, and the scene extends from the salon to the home.

2. Technology Upgrade

• Material: silk protein, biodegradable fiber to replace traditional chemical fiber;

• Tools: AI design + 3D printing customization, 40% annual increase in sales of home equipment.

3. Regulations & Standards

Reinforced safety certifications such as EU REACH and Japan's Ministry of Health and Welfare; eyelash artists need to be licensed and training incorporated into dermatological science.

4. Sustainability

Repeatable eyelashes and environmentally friendly packaging accounted for 30% increase; brands popularize eyelash care knowledge through social media to reduce health risks.
