How do you maintain eyelash extensions?
Maintaining eyelash extensions properly makes a huge difference in how long they last and how good they look. Here’s a simple guide:
Daily Care
- Avoid getting them wet for 24-48 hours after application (to let the glue fully cure).
- Be gentle — no rubbing or pulling at your lashes.
- Brush them daily with a clean spoolie to keep them neat (especially after sleeping or showering).
- Avoid oil-based products (cleansers, makeup removers, creams) around the eyes — oils break down the adhesive.
- Clean lashes regularly (every 2–3 days) with a lash extension-safe cleanser to prevent buildup and keep them fluffy.
What to Avoid
- Heavy eye makeup, especially mascara (if needed, use one made for extensions).
- Cotton pads, wipes, or Q-tips — fibers can get stuck in the lashes.
- Sleeping on your face — try to sleep on your back or use a silk pillowcase.
- Heat (like from saunas, hot yoga, or even opening a hot oven) — it can weaken the bond.
Extra Tips
- Book fills every 2-3 weeks — this keeps them full and fresh without waiting for them to shed out unevenly.
- Handle with clean hands — oils and dirt can transfer and cause premature shedding.
- Don’t try to remove them yourself — go to a professional to avoid damaging your natural lashes.
