Maintenance Tips

  • Use a lash brush to keep your lashes tidy and untangled.

  • Avoid using mascara on your lashes, as it can clump and damage the extensions.

  • Sleep on your back or with a silk pillowcase to prevent your lashes from getting crushed.

  • Get touch-ups every 2-3 weeks to maintain your lash extensions.

 

Eyelash extensions can be a beautiful addition to your beauty routine, but it's important to take care of them properly. By following these dos and don'ts, you can enjoy beautiful, long-lasting lashes. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to your lash technician for advice.

Here are a few aftercare instructions to help you take care of your lash extensions:

  • Do not allow lashes to get wet for the first 6 hours 

  • Avoid steam as it will affect the adhesive from bonding properly 

  • Gently rub your eyes or lashes when washing your face 

  • Keep your lashes clean by washing them daily

  • Do not use mascara on your lashes other than the one recommended by your technician 

  • Avoid oil based eyeliners or make up removers while you have extensions; this compromises the bonding of the adhesive 

  • Do not cut your extensions, you risk cutting your own lashes and altering the natural appearance of the eyelash extensions 

  • Do not pull on your lashes as you’re likely to pull out your natural lash with it 

  • Do not perm or tint your lashes before or after each appointment 

  • Do not come with mascara or eye makeup to each appointment 

  • Do not remove the extensions on your own 

  • Brush your lashes in the morning and at night
