Lash Extension Aftercare Instructions – Redditch Lashes
To maintain the longevity and appearance of your new eyelash extensions, it's essential to follow these aftercare instructions carefully. Proper care will help ensure your lashes stay beautiful and last as long as possible.
1. Avoid Water for the First 24-48 Hours
- Keep your lashes dry for the first 24-48 hours after your appointment to allow the adhesive to fully cure.
- Avoid steam, saunas, swimming, and hot showers during this time.
2. Be Gentle with Your Lashes
- Avoid rubbing, pulling, or tugging at your extensions, as this can damage both the extensions and your natural lashes.
- Do not sleep on your face, as this can cause lashes to twist or fall out prematurely.
3. Avoid Oil-Based Products
- Oil can weaken the adhesive bond, so avoid using oil-based makeup removers, cleansers, or skincare products around your eyes.
- Stick to oil-free and lash extension-safe products to prolong the life of your lashes.
4. Clean Your Lashes Regularly
- Gently clean your lashes daily using a lash-safe cleanser and a soft brush or spoolie to remove dirt, oils, and makeup residue.
- Keeping your lashes clean will help prevent build-up and extend their lifespan.
5. Avoid Mascara and Eyelash Curlers
- Lash extensions provide all the volume and curl you need, so there's no need for mascara or lash curlers.
- Mascara can clump your extensions, and curlers can damage both the extensions and your natural lashes.
6. Book Regular Infills
- To keep your lashes looking full, it's recommended to schedule infills every 2-3 weeks. This helps replace any extensions that may have shed naturally with your lash cycle.
7. Be Mindful of Heat
- High heat from ovens, hairdryers, or other sources can cause your lash extensions to lose their curl. Keep your face away from direct heat.
8. Brush Your Lashes Daily
- Use a clean lash spoolie to gently brush your extensions every day, especially after washing your face, to keep them neat and tangle-free.
