Your lash extensions are attached to your own individual eyelashes, and will shed as your natural lashes shed. You naturally lose about 5 lashes per day. Maintaining your lash extensions will require regular visits to attach new extensions (infills) to your own eyelashes as your eyelash growth cycle regenerates new lashes.
With a few simple care instructions you will be on your way to enjoying your luscious long lashes.
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
If you use waterproof mascara, avoid using it 2-3 day's before your first appointment. The film it leaves on your lashes may prevent the extensions from adhering correctly.
NO MAKEUP
Arrive to your appointment with dry clean lashes and makeup free eyes.
Remove contact lenses before your appointment.
BE ON TIME
Show up at LEAST 5 minutes before your appointment.
Especially if it is your first time getting an eyelash extension treatment!
NO CAFFEINE
Do not drink coffee or energy drinks at least 3 hours before your appointment.
COMFORT IS KEY
Wear Comfy Clothes! You are going to be lying down for at least 2 hours.
PREPARE SOME IDEAS
Come along to the appointment with lash look ideas to discuss with your technician before the treatment.
USE THE BATHROOM
Go to the toilet before the treatment starts.
BRING HEADPHONES
Once your treatment begins, it’s better not to talk otherwise your eyes twitch.
You can listen to music or enjoy a lash nap if you’d prefer.
DURING THE INITIAL 24-48 HOURS AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT
- Do not get your lashes wet for 24 hours after the lash extensions are applied. It takes 24 hours for the glue to cure fully.
- Avoid steam from showers, facials, saunas, steam rooms, swimming pools and the oven door when opening.
- Avoid getting moisture around the eye area when washing your face, showering etc.
- Avoid tanning beds for 48 hours after application.
- Avoid chemical peels, waxing or laser treatments around the eyes.
GENERAL GUIDELINES TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR LASHES
- Avoid using oil-based skincare and makeup products around the eye, including mascara and makeup remover.
- Avoid waterproof mascara. If you can, it is better not to use any mascara at all.
- Avoid rubbing your eyes or lashes, especially when washing your face. It is recommended to clean around the eye area with a microfibre washcloth.
- Avoid using an eyelash curler. One of the benefits of lash extensions is the ability to add curl to your lashes.
- If you can, sleep on your back to avoid the risk of lashes rubbing against your pillow.
- Gently brush your lashes with a mascara wand to groom them. The best time to do this is after showering as they will be softer and less likely to damage.
- Avoid pulling your lashes, and do not attempt to remove them yourself. If you would like them removed please contact your lash technician.
- To keep your lashes looking beautiful, book an infill appointment every 2 to 3 weeks to keep your lashes looking full.
THINK AHEAD ABOUT INFILLS
When booking your first full set, have a think about whether you're going to want to keep them up (the chances are you won't want to live with out lashes ever again haha)! My diary is getting busier and busier and without booking appointments in advance, it's really hard for me to guarantee infill appointments. I recommend booking at least 2 appointments in advance.
