Hello Ladies! As you may or already know, eyelash extensions are an easy way to wake up beautiful everyday. If you’ve had professional eyelash extensions applied you know how addicting they are! One of the most frequently asked questions we receive from clients is: how do I keep my new lashes looking great between appointments?

My top 5 tips for lash care

Sleep Position. For the first night or two pay attention to your sleeping position. If you can, try sleeping on your back. The glue used to apply your lashes will take some time to settle, taking precaution will help them fully dry and you’ll avoid creating kinks. Choose your mascara wisely. Your lashes will look fabulous without the aid of mascara, and last longer without it. However, if you choose to wear mascara, which is common for those nearing their next re-lash appointment, be sure to where an oil free product. Look don’t touch. Try your best to resist the temptation to play with your lashes. Remember, your lashes shed naturally, when you have extensions, pulling and tugging will cause them to prematurely fall off. If a lash looks twisted or out of place, use a spoolie wand to comb them out. Remove makeup carefully. Stay clear of all oil-based makeup removers. Oil will degrade the bond strength, and we don’t want that! For recommendations on the best products shoot me an email or find me at the boutique. Keep your lashes full. Be sure to return every 2-3 weeks to re-lash! We must commit to eyelash extensions and keeping them looking great. My clients always leave feeling great after a fill.
