3 Secrets to Longer-Lasting Lashes

You love your lash extensions. But keeping them full, fluttery, and natural-looking? That comes down to a few simple habits.

These three lash care rituals help prevent early fallout, support retention, and keep your look seamless between fills.

1. The Cleanse Without Compromise

Yes, you need to wash your lashes.
Avoiding water or cleanser for too long can actually shorten retention and invite buildup.

Why it works:

Cleansing removes oils and debris that break down adhesive.
Keeps lashes fluffy and free of residue.
Prevents irritation and potential lash loss.

Try this: Use a lash-safe foaming cleanser (like Glo Skin Beauty’s Gentle Cream Cleanser) and a soft brush. Do this 2–3 times per week or daily if you wear makeup.

2. The Brush & Fluff

Keep your lash line fresh and aligned.
After sleeping or showering, lashes can criss-cross or clump slightly.

Why it works:

Brushing helps maintain shape.
Keeps lashes from twisting or pulling at the root.
Supports even wear and natural look.

Try this: Use a clean spoolie and gently brush through lashes from mid-length to tip. Do not tug at the base.

3. The Fill Schedule

Retention isn’t luck. It’s timing.
Lash extensions naturally shed with your growth cycle. Waiting too long between fills leads to gaps and unevenness.

What to do:

Book your fills every 2–3 weeks, depending on your cycle.
Don’t wait until they look sparse.
Your lash tech can adjust based on lifestyle and retention.

Bonus: Consistent fills are more cost-effective long term than redoing full sets.

Using These Together

Think of this as a mini lash ritual: cleanse, brush, and fill. When done consistently, they extend your lashes’ lifespan and protect your natural ones underneath.

Pro tip: Ask your tech about Lash Sealants, we carry one from Glo Skin Beauty that helps lock in adhesive between fills.
