The dos and don'ts of lash extensions
Dos:
Choose a reputable lash technician who has received proper training and has a good track record.
Communicate clearly with your lash technician about the look you want to achieve and any concerns you may have.
Cleanse your lashes thoroughly before your appointment to ensure that they are free from any makeup, oils, or debris.
Follow the aftercare instructions given by your lash technician, which may include avoiding getting your lashes wet for a certain period of time and not using oil-based products on or around your eyes.
Brush your lashes gently with a clean spoolie to keep them looking neat and tidy.
Be gentle when removing eye makeup, and avoid using oil-based products or makeup removers.
Consider getting a touch-up every 2-3 weeks to maintain the fullness and length of your lash extensions.
If you experience any irritation or discomfort, contact your lash technician immediately.
Don'ts:
Don't rub your eyes or tug on your lash extensions, as this can cause damage to both your natural lashes and the extensions themselves.
Don't use waterproof mascara or any other products that contain oil, as these can break down the adhesive used to attach the lash extensions.
Don't use a lash curler on your lash extensions, as this can damage both the extensions and your natural lashes.
Don't pull or pick at your lash extensions, as this can cause them to fall out prematurely.
Don't sleep on your stomach or with your face pressed into a pillow, as this can cause your lash extensions to become misshapen or fall out.
Don't expose your lash extensions to excessive heat or steam, as this can cause the adhesive to weaken and the extensions to fall out.
Don't apply mascara to your lash extensions, as this can make them clumpy and difficult to remove.
Don't attempt to remove your lash extensions yourself, as this can cause damage to your natural lashes and the delicate skin around your eyes.
