The Ultimate Guide to Caring for Your Eyelash Extensions: Tips for Long-Lasting Beauty
1. Choose a Qualified and Experienced Lash Technician:
Before getting into the care routine, it's crucial to find a reputable and skilled lash technician for your eyelash extensions. Make that they have the necessary certifications and experience to guarantee a safe and professional application, as well as provide you with proper aftercare instructions.
2. Be Gentle When Cleaning:
Regular cleaning is crucial for maintaining the hygiene and longevity of your lash extensions. It's important to be gentle to prevent damage. Use an eyelash shampoo cleanser and a soft brush or lint-free applicator to cleanse your lashes. Gently massage the cleanser along the lash line, avoiding any vigorous rubbing or pulling.
3. Brush Your Lashes Regularly:
To maintain the shape and alignment of your eyelash extensions, use a clean mascara wand or a spoolie brush to gently comb through them. Do this every morning or as needed, starting from the base and brushing upwards towards the tips. Regular brushing helps prevent tangles and keeps your lashes looking neat and separated.
4. Avoid Rubbing or Pulling Your Lashes:
Resist the temptation to rub or pull your lashes. Rubbing can cause the lashes to tangle or prematurely shed, while pulling can damage both the extensions and your natural lashes. Instead, gently pat or dab your eyes if needed. By treating your lashes with care, you'll prolong their lifespan.
5. Be Mindful of Sleeping Positions:
Sleeping on your stomach or with your face pressed against the pillow can lead to lash damage. Try to sleep on your back or invest in our silk sleep mask or satin pillowcase that reduces friction!
6. Avoid Mascara and Eyelash Curlers:
One of the benefits of eyelash extensions is eliminating the need for mascara or eyelash curlers. Using these products can cause clumping, premature shedding, or damage to the extensions. If you desire additional volume or curl, consult with your lash technician about alternative options that won't compromise the longevity of your extensions.
7. Book your fills on time:
We recommend booking your fills every 2 weeks to ensure health and fullness of your extensions. Its best to book your fills during your appointments, to secure your place. Technicians can run out of appointment times early sue to high demand, which would cause you to need a later appointment, resulting in extra fees and risk of natural eyelash health.
By following these essential care tips, you can enjoy beautiful, long-lasting eyelash extensions. Remember to choose a qualified technician, be gentle!
