Your lash extensions are attached to your own individual eyelashes and will shed as natural lashes shed. Maintaining your lash extensions will require regular visits to attach new extensions (fill-in) as your eyelash growth cycle regenerates new lashes. With these simple care instructions, you will be on your way to enjoying luscious long lashes.
Before your appointment
Avoid using waterproof mascara 2-3 days before the day of your first appointment. Arrive at your appointment with dry, clean lashes and makeup-free eyes. Avoid caffeine prior to your lash appointment to avoid shuttering eyelids. Removing contact lenses before your appointment is optional but advised.
During the initial 24-48 hours after your appointment
Avoid tanning beds for 48 hours after application. Avoid chemical peels, waxing, or laser treatments around the eyes.
General guidelines to extend the life of your lashes
Always be gentle with your new lashes. Avoid pulling or tugging at your extensions as it can damage the extensions, and don’t rub your eyes. Tugging will cause your natural lashes to fall out prematurely, and cause permanent damage to the hair follicle Avoid strong or intense heat near the lashes such as blow dryers, ovens, grills, dishwashers, and flat irons – heat can crimp, singe, or loosen the curl of the lashes Avoid oil-based makeup removers, eye products, or creams near the eyes. Apply eye creams, serums, or moisturizers SPARINGLY around the lashes. Don’t apply mascara on the lash extensions and do not use an eyelash curler on your extensions. Mascara will ruin them by closing the fans and give them a singed look. Don’t leave makeup sitting on your lashes overnight. Do not perm or tint your eyelashes prior to your appointment or after Apply sealant to your lashes once a day to extend the life of your extensions. It is best to comb through them right away after applying sealant with your dry mascara brush. If you wait too long, the sealant can harden and cause them to be pulled out when you brush them. For the fullest effect, comb and fluff daily. Wash your lash extensions daily with a cleanser and a soft cleansing brush. Use upwards strokes letting the soapy foam clean between the lashes and rinse thoroughly. Do not use cotton rounds or q-tips on the eyelashes. Avoid running water over your face. Moisture will break down the bond of the glue. Be gentle with the lash extensions, avoid getting them caught on clothes or towels. Sleep on your back, use a sleep mask made especially for lash extensions, or use silk pillowcases. Gently comb through your dry lash extensions with a clean mascara wand. Use a sponge-tipped applicator to spot clean any stubborn make-up left at the lash line. Don’t comb too hard at the root as this is where your lashes have adhered. Sometimes, if you do not rinse your cleanser well, it can cause lashes to look stuck together. The best time to do this is after showering, as they will be softer and less likely to damage. To extend the life of your lashes, please schedule touch-up appointments every 2-3 weeks and to keep your eyelashes looking fantastic. It’s important to keep your eye on retention (everyone’s lashes are different) and be mindful of how much time you should book for your fill when scheduling your next appointment!
