Lash extensions aren’t just a beauty boost—they’re an investment! Treat them right, and they’ll stick around longer than your ex did. Follow the do’s and don’ts, and let your lashes live their best life! 😆✨
The Do’s
1. Choose a Certified Lash Technician
Make sure your lash artist is trained and certified to ensure safe application and long-lasting results. A professional will use high-quality materials and proper techniques to protect your natural lashes.
2. Clean Your Lashes Regularly
Use a lash-friendly cleanser to remove dirt, oil, and makeup residue. Keeping your lashes clean prevents infections and helps them last longer.
3. Brush Your Lashes Daily
Gently brushing your lashes with a clean spoolie helps keep them looking neat and prevents tangling or twisting. 4. Sleep on Your Back
Sleeping on your side or stomach can cause your lashes to bend or shed prematurely. Using a silk or satin pillowcase can also help reduce friction.
5. Schedule Regular Fills
To maintain a full look, book a fill appointment every 2 to 3 weeks. This will replace lost lashes and keep your extensions looking flawless.
The Don’ts
1. Don’t Use Oil-Based Products
Oil-based makeup removers, cleansers, and skincare products can break down the lash glue and cause extensions to fall off faster.
2. Don’t Rub or Pull at Your Lashes
Rubbing your eyes or pulling on your extensions can damage both the extensions and your natural lashes, leading to premature shedding.
3. Don’t Use Eyelash Curlers
Curlers can weaken the adhesive bond and damage the shape of your extensions. If you want a more lifted look, opt for a lash lift instead.
4. Don’t Get Your Lashes Wet for the First 24 Hours
Water and steam can weaken the adhesive bond, causing lashes to fall out sooner. Avoid swimming, saunas, and heavy sweating right after your appointment.
5. Don’t Apply Mascara
Mascara, especially waterproof formulas, can clump up on extensions and make them
Proper lash care is crucial to making your eyelash extensions last longer while keeping your natural lashes healthy. By following these do’s and don’ts, you can enjoy long-lasting, beautiful lashes without damage. Book an appointment with a certified lash technician to get the best results!

Hi Liz, thanks for your comment! There are a few reasons why your lash extensions may not be lasting as long as they should! For example using oil-based skincare products, not cleaning your lashes properly, or rubbing your eyes frequently. Also, avoiding getting them wet for the first 24 hours after application is crucial for proper adhesive bonding. If you’re following all the recommended care tips and still experiencing early fallout, it might be worth checking with your lash technician to ensure the right type of extensions and adhesive are being used for your natural lashes. 😊
