So you're ready to have eyelash extensions? Yes! Awesome. Here are a few guidelines to help maximize your service time and extend the wear of your lash extensions.
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
- Shower. You won't be able to for 24-48 hours after your lash extension appointment. Further explanation on water + lashes on the post-up care below.
- Please remove mascara/eye makeup or lash glue. Any residue will effect the lash adhesive's retention. Cleaning can be done but it prolongs the service or less time being used for lash application.
AFTERCARE
- No shower/bath for 24-48 hours. This includes: Steam, sauna, exercising, cooking (stove/oven heat), swimming, and facials/spa. Eyelash extension adhesive is a special formula, any water interfering with the bonding process during that time is subject to premature lash fallout.
- Be gentle. No pulling, tugging or rubbing eyelashes. Not only will your extensions might fall out but you may risk damaging your natural lashes.
- Avoid the use of any oil-based products that includes makeup and face creams around the eyes. Oil is what loosens up the eyelash bond. Water based products are okay (labeled oil-free) for makeup remover.
- Avoid mascara and lash curlers. Mascara (waterproof) will
clump up your extensions and cause fallout from cleansing. Curlers will
cause damage to your natural lashes as well as extensions.
- Be mindful of how you sleep! I always say sleeping like a vampire is best (on your back). Although not ideal for everyone, this is a big cause for lash fallout. Invest in a travel neck pillow (donut shape) if need be.
- Wet lashes. Let them air dry or use a blow dryer or fan on cool/low-setting before brushing them out.
- Comb with mascara wand when need to style them. Over-combing may result in snagging.
