Lash Extension Aftercare: Keep Your Lashes Fresh, Fluffy & Long-Lasting
Just had your lashes done? Follow these simple aftercare steps to protect your lash extensions, boost retention, and keep that freshly-fluffed look for weeks—without irritation or heavy maintenance.
1) Keep Lashes Dry for the First 24 Hours
Avoid water and steam for the first 24 hours so the adhesive can fully cure. After that, gently cleanse with a lash-safe shampoo to keep your extensions clean and comfortable.
2) Skip the Mascara
Extensions replace mascara. Applying mascara creates buildup that’s hard to remove and may pull extensions out during cleansing. If you wear eye makeup, choose oil-free products and remove them with a lash-safe cleanser.
3) Avoid Oily or Greasy Skincare Around the Eyes
Oils can break down the adhesive and attract residue. Keep moisturisers, face oils, and rich creams away from the lash line. Use oil-free options for the eye area.
4) Brush Your Lashes Daily
Use the clean spoolie we provide to gently brush your lashes each morning. This keeps them separated, fluffy, and in shape—just like brushing your hair.
5) Don’t Perm, Tint, or Curl Extensions
Eyelash curlers and chemical treatments can bend extensions or weaken the bond. Your set is styled to lift the eye—no extra curling needed.
6) Don’t Pull or Pick
Tugging can remove your natural lashes and stress the follicles. If you’d like a break from extensions, book a professional removal for a safe, painless experience.
7) Avoid Saunas & Heavy Steam for 48 Hours
Fresh adhesive can soften under high heat and may sting. Skip saunas, steam rooms, and very hot yoga for at least 48 hours after your appointment.
8) Don’t Cut Your Extensions
As your natural lashes grow, a few extensions may sit slightly out of line—this is normal. Never trim them; instead, book an infill and we’ll rebalance your set.
How Long Do Lash Extensions Last?
With proper care, extensions typically look their best for 3–4 weeks. To maintain fullness, schedule infills every 2–3 weeks, depending on your natural lash cycle and lifestyle.
