Eyelash extensions are a popular beauty treatment that involves attaching synthetic, silk, or mink lashes to your natural lashes to enhance length, curl, fullness, and thickness. They are applied by a professional lash technician using a semi-permanent adhesive, designed to hold the extensions in place for several weeks.

Eyelash extensions can transform your look, creating a fuller, more dramatic eye appearance without the need for mascara. They are perfect for those who want to save time on their beauty routine or for special occasions where you want to look your best.

Initial Aftercare: The First 48 Hours

For the first 48 hours after application, it's crucial to avoid exposing your new lashes to water or steam. This allows the adhesive to fully cure and ensures the longevity of your extensions.

During the initial period, it's also important to be gentle with your lashes. Avoid rubbing your eyes or using oil-based products around them.

Daily Maintenance of Eyelash Extensions

Clean your lash extensions daily with a gentle, oil-free cleanser to remove any buildup of makeup or natural oils. Use a soft brush or a clean, lint-free cloth to carefully clean the lashes.

Brush your lashes gently with a clean spoolie brush to keep them neat and untangled. This should be done daily to maintain the perfect look of your extensions.

Avoid using oil-based products and waterproof makeup around your eyes, as these can weaken the adhesive bond and cause the extensions to fall out prematurely.

Long-Term Care and Maintenance

To maintain the fullness of your lash extensions, regular refills are recommended every 2-3 weeks. This compensates for the natural shedding of your lashes and the extension cycle.

It's important to maintain the health of your natural lashes. Use a lash serum to nourish and strengthen your natural lashes, ensuring they can support the extensions.

If you notice any discomfort, irritation, or excessive shedding, it may be time to have your extensions removed or replaced by a professional.

Sleeping with Eyelash Extensions

To protect your eyelash extensions while you sleep, avoid sleeping face down. Use a silk pillowcase to reduce friction and consider wearing a sleep mask designed for lash extensions.

Makeup and Eyelash Extensions

When wearing eyelash extensions, opt for oil-free makeup products. Water-based mascara and eyeliners are recommended if you must use them.

Use a gentle, oil-free makeup remover and a soft cloth or cotton pad to carefully remove makeup without pulling on your extensions.
