Have you ever looked in the mirror after a fresh lash set and thought, “Wow, I’m never going back to mascara again”… only to wake up the next day wondering how to keep them looking this good? It’s a common story. We love the instant glam that extensions bring, but the aftercare part can feel a little tricky at first.
But did you know that taking care of your lashes doesn’t have to be complicated? With just a few simple habits, you can make your extensions last longer, keep them fluffy, and protect your natural lashes underneath.
Here are some top lash aftercare tips every client should follow:
1. Keep Your Lashes Dry for the First 24 Hours
Water and steam can weaken the adhesive bond before it’s fully set. Avoid swimming, hot showers, or saunas right after your appointment.
2. Say No to Rubbing or Pulling
It’s tempting to touch or play with your lashes (especially when they’re fresh and fluttery), but tugging can damage both the extensions and your natural lashes.
3. Cleanse Your Lashes Daily
Oil, makeup residue, and dirt can build up and cause irritation. Use a lash-safe cleanser to gently wash away buildup without harming the adhesive.
4. Brush Them Gently
A clean lash spoolie is your best friend. Lightly brushing your lashes each morning keeps them fluffy, neat, and free of tangles.
5. Sleep on Your Back (or Use a Silk Pillowcase)
Sleeping face-down can crush your lashes. If you’re a side-sleeper, switching to silk pillowcases helps reduce friction and keeps your lashes smoother for longer.
6. Avoid Oil-Based Products
Oil breaks down lash adhesive quickly. Stick to water-based makeup and skincare around your eyes.
