Eyelash extensions are a fantastic way to enhance your natural beauty, but they require proper care to keep them looking their best. In this post, we’ll share our top 10 tips for maintaining your eyelash extensions to ensure they stay beautiful and last as long as possible.
1. Avoid Water and Steam for the First 24-48 Hours
– Water and steam can weaken the adhesive bond. Avoid swimming, saunas, and heavy sweating during this period.
2. Be Gentle with Your Lashes
– Avoid rubbing your eyes or pulling on your lashes. Be gentle when washing your face and pat your eyes dry.
3. Use Lash-Friendly Products
– Opt for oil-free makeup removers and cleansers to avoid breaking down the adhesive. Avoid using waterproof mascara.
4. Brush Your Lashes Daily
– Use a clean spoolie to gently brush your lashes daily to keep them aligned and free of tangles.
5. Avoid Eyelash Curlers
– Eyelash curlers can damage both the extensions and your natural lashes. The extensions already provide a beautiful curl.
6. Sleep on Your Back
– Sleeping on your back helps prevent the extensions from getting crushed or tangled. Consider using a silk pillowcase to minimize friction.
7. Schedule Regular Fills
– To maintain a full look, schedule fill appointments every 2-3 weeks to replace any extensions that have naturally shed.
8. Be Mindful of Makeup Application
– Apply eye makeup gently and avoid using heavy liners or eyeshadows that require rigorous removal.
9. Keep Lashes Clean
– Clean your lashes regularly with a lash cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and makeup residue that can build up and affect the adhesive.
10. Consult Your Technician for Specific Advice
– Your lash technician can provide personalized advice based on your specific lash type and lifestyle.
