Frequently asked questions
We understand that you may have questions about how to properly care for your lash extensions. Below, we've compiled a list of frequently asked questions to provide you with the information you need to maintain your lashes and avoid common mistakes.
Why is aftercare so important for lash extensions, and what problems can customers avoid by following your advice?
🌿 Lash Aftercare Instructions:
1. Keep lashes dry for the first 24 hours. No water, steam, sweating, or crying.
2. Clean your lashes. Use a lash-safe cleanser and gently rinse.
3. Brush your lashes. Use a clean spoolie to keep them fluffy and in place.
4. Avoid oils around the eyes. Oil breaks down the adhesive and hurts retention.
5. Don’t rub, pull, or sleep on your lashes. Try sleeping on your back or side.
6. Avoid mascara and lash curlers. They damage extensions and cause breakage.
What's the biggest mistake people make when caring for their lash extensions, and how can they avoid it?
🌸 Why This Is a Problem
When clients don’t clean their lashes, oil, makeup, sweat, and dead skin start to build up at the lash line. This causes:
- Poor retention
- Fans closing or twisting
- Extensions falling off faster
- Irritation or itchiness
- Lash mites (in extreme cases)
- Weak, unhealthy natural lashes
So the very thing they think will protect their lashes actually damages them.
✨ How to Avoid This Mistake
Clean your lashes with a lash-safe cleanser. It keeps the lash line fresh, healthy, and ensures your extensions last longer.
A simple routine:
- Pump lash cleanser onto your lid
- Gently brush with a soft lash brush
- Rinse with water
- Pat dry
- Brush with a spoolie
Clean lashes = better retention + healthier naturals + prettier sets.
What are the top 3 things customers MUST do to keep their lashes looking great for longer?
✨ Top 3 Lash Retention Must-Dos
1. Clean Your Lashes
This is the #1 rule. Washing removes oils, makeup, sweat, and buildup that break down the glue. Clean lashes = better retention + healthier natural lashes.
2. Avoid All Oil-Based Products Around the Eyes
Oil destroys lash adhesive. Clients should avoid:
- Oil cleansers
- Heavy creams near the lash line
- Makeup removers with oil
- Waterproof makeup (super oily)
Keeping the area oil-free helps lashes stay bonded and lifted.
3. Be Gentle With Your Lashes
No rubbing, picking, pulling, or sleeping on your face.
Gentle habits mean:
- Fans stay open
- Extensions don’t twist
- Natural lashes don’t get damaged
