Lash Extension Aftercare
Follow these simple steps to keep your lashes looking beautiful and maximize retention
Daily care
- Follow your artist's timing: Follow your lash artist’s timing for water, cleansing, steam, swimming, and exercise. It depends on the adhesive and finishing products used at your appointment.
- Cleanse Daily: Gently wash lashes with a lash-safe cleanser and water. Clean lashes last longer!
- Brush Daily: Use a clean spoolie brush to gently groom lashes, keeping them fluffy and separated.
- Schedule Fills: Many clients book every 2-3 weeks to maintain fullness. Fills require at least 40% of extensions remaining and your artist's inspection.
What to avoid
- Avoid oil-based products (makeup, cleansers) near the eyes. Oil breaks down the adhesive.
- Avoid waterproof mascara and liquid/gel eyeliners on extensions.
- Avoid mechanical lash curlers.
- Avoid picking, pulling, or rubbing your eyes/lashes.
- Do not attempt to remove extensions yourself – schedule a professional removal.
Remember: It's normal to lose 1-5 natural lashes per day as part of your natural lash cycle. Regular fills keep them looking full!
