Applicator and method for detaching artificial hairs from an artificial lash extension and affixing the detached artificial hairs at natural lashes

A method of manufacturing an apparatus for detaching artificial hairs from an artificial lash extension, comprising:

• forming one or more metal fragments into a pair of opposing arms comprising a first arm and a second arm that are joined at proximal ends, each of the first arm and the second arm comprising:
• a first section comprising the proximal end;
• a second section positioned between and connected to the first section and a third section;
• and
• the third section comprising a first end portion and a second end portion, the third section having a first curvature disposed between the first end portion and the second end portion,
• wherein the third section of the first arm comprises a plurality of separating elements that extend from an interior surface of the third section of the first arm, wherein the third section of the second arm comprises a plurality of slots that extend from an interior surface of the third section of the second arm into a body of the third section, the plurality of slots configured to receive the plurality of separating elements therewithin, and wherein the plurality of separating elements are positioned in a radial arrangement with respect to the first curvature and are shaped to separate the artificial hairs from the artificial lash extension.

A method comprising:

• arranging one or more lash extensions of artificial hairs in an arrangement at natural eyelashes of a user;
• detaching, using an applicator, artificial hairs from the one or more lash extensions arranged as the one or more lash extensions are arranged at the natural eyelashes of the user in the arrangement;
• and
• affixing the detached artificial hairs of the one or more lash extensions to the natural eyelashes in the arrangement using the applicator.
