  The Art of Aftercare: Keeping Your Lashes Looking Lush

  Proper aftercare is crucial for maintaining the health of your natural lashes and maximizing the longevity of your extensions. Here are some key tips to ensure your lashes stay flutter-worthy:

  • Avoid Water for 24 Hours: Let the adhesive cure completely. Avoid showering, swimming, or excessive sweating for the first 24 hours after application.
  • Cleanse Daily: Use a gentle lash cleanser specifically formulated for extensions to remove makeup, oil, and dust buildup. Avoid rubbing your eyes, and cleanse with a light touch.
  • Brush Regularly: Use a clean lash brush to gently brush your lashes daily. This helps prevent tangling and keeps them looking neat.
  • Skip Oil-Based Products: Oil-based products can break down the adhesive and shorten the lifespan of your extensions. Avoid oil-based makeup removers and skincare products around your eyes.
  • Sleep on Your Back: Sleeping on your face can crush and damage your extensions. Train yourself to sleep on your back to prevent them from prematurely falling out.
  • No Touching! Avoid touching, pulling, or rubbing your eyes, as this can lead to lash loss.
  • Refills Are Key: Natural lashes shed, so regular refills are necessary to maintain a full lash line. We'll delve deeper into refills in the next section!
  • Be Gentle with Removal: Never try to remove your extensions yourself. This can damage your natural lashes. Let a professional lash technician remove them safely with a gentle removal process.

The Necessity of Refills

While extensions offer a low-maintenance beauty routine compared to daily mascara application, refills are essential for maintaining their flawless look. Here's why refills are necessary:

∙         Natural Lash Cycle: Our natural lashes go through a growth cycle, shedding every 4-8 weeks. As a lash sheds, the extension attached to it will fall out as well. Refills ensure your lash line remains full and prevents gaps as your natural lashes grow out.

∙         Maintaining Retention: Over time, the adhesive that bonds extensions to your natural lashes weakens. Refills allow your technician to reapply adhesive and ensure your extensions stay secure.

∙         Preventing Damage: Outgrown extensions can weigh down your natural lashes, leading to breakage and potential damage. Refills prevent this by removing grown-out lashes and keeping the remaining one’s light and healthy.

∙         Optimal Look: Regular refills maintain the fullness, volume, and style you originally desired. Gaps and sparse lashes detract from the overall aesthetic.

Refill Frequency

The frequency of refills depends on several factors, including:

∙         Natural Lash Shedding Rate: Some people shed lashes faster than others. Discuss your shedding rate with your lash technician to determine the ideal refill schedule.

∙         Extension Style: Volume lashes typically require more frequent refills than classic lashes due to the additional weight on natural lashes.

∙         Aftercare Routine: Proper aftercare, like avoiding oil-based products and sleeping on your back, can extend the lifespan of your extensions and minimize the need for frequent refills.

Generally, refills are recommended every 2-4 weeks. A skilled lash technician will assess your lashes during your initial appointment and recommend a personalized refill schedule based on your individual needs.
