Lash Aftercare

1. Avoid saunas, steam rooms and hot steamy showers. Advise that 24 hours after the eyelash extension treatment, your client should avoid saunas, steam rooms and hot steamy showers as this can affect the adhesive bond on the lash and risk poor lash retention.

2. 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. 

3. Avoid direct heat. 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.

4. Avoid oil-based products. Please 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. Any oil-based product will affect the adhesive bond of the lashes, so make sure to keep it water-based for now.

5. 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.

6. 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. We will give you new brush after every lash appointment.

7. 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 your clients want to preserve the beautiful curl of their lashes for longer they should try to train themselves to sleep on their back if they can, and definitely no sleeping on your front. 

8. Clean lashes regularly. Make sure clients are cleaning their 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.

9. Don’t use eyelash curlers. Curling and squeezing the lashes can also damage the lash extensions and even lift them off.

10. Regular infills. Make sure to get regular fills every 2-3-4 weeks - this is a must if you want to keep your lashes looking gorgeous for longer, and in great condition.
