Aftercare

The First 12 Hours: The Curing Period ​The first two days are crucial for the adhesive to fully set. The glue needs time to bond properly to your natural lashes. ​Avoid all water: This includes showering, washing your face with water, swimming, and even crying. The goal is to keep your lashes completely dry. ​Stay away from steam and humidity: Don't go to saunas, steam rooms, or hot yoga classes. The heat and moisture can prevent the glue from curing and cause the extensions to fall off prematurely. ​Be gentle: Do not touch or rub your lashes. If you need to adjust them, use a clean lash wand or spoolie brush. ​Daily Care ​After the initial 12 hours, a simple daily routine will keep your extensions looking great. ​Clean your lashes: You might think keeping them dry is best, but a clean lash line is essential to prevent eye infections and keep your extensions on longer. ​Use a specialized lash extension cleanser or an oil-free, foaming cleanser. ​Gently cleanse the base of your lashes with a soft brush, then rinse with a small amount of water. ​Pat your face dry with a towel, then let your lashes air dry. ​Brush them daily: Use a clean lash wand to gently brush your extensions. Start from the middle and brush upwards to keep them fanned out and aligned. ​Use oil-free products: Oil breaks down the adhesive, so avoid any oil-based cleansers, moisturizers, or eye makeup. Check the ingredients of all your products. ​Sleep on your back: Sleeping on your stomach or side can crush and pull on your extensions. A silk or satin pillowcase can also help reduce friction if you do sleep on your side. ​What to Avoid ​Mascara: Do not use regular mascara on your extensions. It's not necessary, and it's hard to remove without damaging the lashes. If you want more volume, ask your lash technician about extension-safe mascara. ​Mechanical curlers: Never use a mechanical eyelash curler. It will snap the extensions and can damage your natural lashes. ​Extreme heat: Be mindful of hot ovens, grills, and even blow dryers. A sudden blast of hot air can singe the synthetic fibers and make them look kinky or misshapen.
