Lash Extensions After Care

These simple lash aftercare tips will help you make the most of your eyelash extensions; allowing you to maintain your beautiful look for longer - and keep the natural lashes healthy too.

Avoid water, saunas, steam rooms, and hot, steamy showers. For 24 hours after the eyelash extension treatment, avoid getting your eyelashes wet, as well as saunas, steam rooms, and hot, steamy showers. This can affect the adhesive bond on the lash and risk poor lash retention.
Do not rub the eyes or pull extensions. This will damage, not only the eyelash extensions, but the natural lashes too! It will also lead to poor retention.
Avoid direct heat. It’s important to avoid direct heat, such as standing in front of a hot oven etc. Also for clients who smoke - Be careful around lighters as the PBT fibre in eyelash extensions is extremely sensitive to heat.
Avoid oil-based products. You should stay away from any oil-based products. We don’t only mean mascara, but oil-based face moisturiser, cleanser, and any other makeup near the eye area.
Avoid mascara at all costs. If you have lash extensions, you must avoid mascara altogether (even water-based ones) as not only can it affect the shape of your beautiful fans, it can potentially damage your extensions, as well as your natural lashes due to the excess weight.
Brush lashes daily. Brushing lash extensions keeps lashes neat, tidy and separated - avoiding that clumpy, unnatural look, and leaving them to look natural for longer.
Sleep on your back. Eyelash extensions shouldn’t come into contact with anything - that includes your pillow! Sleeping on the side is okay, but if you want to preserve the beautiful curl of their lashes for longer you should try to train yourself to sleep on their back if you can, and definitely no sleeping on your front.
Clean lashes regularly. Make sure you are cleaning your lashes regularly - at least twice daily, once when they wake up and once before they go to bed. Again, avoid any oil-based moisturisers or face wash. By staying on top of lash hygiene, you are minimising the risk of infection and lash mites - ew! We recommend using our foam cleanser - also available in handy sachets.
Don’t use eyelash curlers. Curling and squeezing the lashes can also damage the lash extensions and even lift them off!
Regular infills. Make sure to get regular infills every 2-3 weeks - this is a must if you want to keep your lashes looking gorgeous for longer, and in great condition.

FAQ
What Happens If I Get My Lash Extensions Wet Before 24 Hours?

If you get lash extensions wet in the first 24 hours the eyelash extension glue bond may be weakened. Usually, when adhesive becomes compromised, lash retention becomes poor, so make sure to avoid steamy showers, going to the pool or steam room etc, just for the first day. However, it’s okay for clients to expose their eyelash extensions to water if you’ve used our magic Instant Cure product.

What Cleanser Can You Use With Eyelash Extensions?

Always use oil-free cleansers to ensure your lash retention remains as strong as it can be. Use foam cleanser targets any excess dirt or oils on the face and lashes but isn’t harsh enough to damage the eyelash extensions. Best applied with a soft eyelash cleansing brush.

Does Crying Affect Lash Extensions?

Yes, crying affects eyelash extension retention - at least for the first 24 hours. So that means avoiding emotional romcoms and super cute animal memes for a short while. We know, it’s a big sacrifice to ask of your clients - but it’s worth it! But if you wash your extensions after you have a little blub then you can go ahead and shed those happy tears! The same goes for swimming in the sea - wash that salt water off afterwards.
