Maximizing the Life of Your Lash Extensions: Tips and Tricks

You invested in beautiful lash extensions. Now let’s make sure they last.

With the right care, your lashes can stay full, fluttery, and fabulous between fills. Without it? You may find them shedding too soon, losing shape, or looking sparse before your next appointment.

Here’s everything you need to know to keep your lash game strong.

Why Aftercare Matters

Lash extensions are applied to your natural lashes, which shed and grow on a cycle. Proper care helps:

• Preserve the adhesive bond
  

• Prevent premature shedding
  

• Extend the time between fills

And bonus, well-maintained lashes look better, longer.

Top Tips to Extend Lash Life

1. Avoid Water and Steam for 24–48 Hours

Your lash adhesive needs time to fully cure. Let it set properly by avoiding hot showers, saunas, swimming, and heavy sweating for the first couple of days.

2. Sleep Smart

Try sleeping on your back and use a silk pillowcase. Tossing and turning on cotton can cause tangling and friction, which leads to premature lash loss.

3. Keep Them Clean

Clean lashes last longer. Use a lash-safe cleanser or diluted baby shampoo to gently cleanse your lash line daily. This removes oil, makeup, and debris that can break down the adhesive.

4. Ditch the Oil-Based Products

Oil is the enemy of lash glue. Avoid oil-based makeup removers, eye creams, and serums around the lash line.

5. Brush Them Gently

Use a clean spoolie to brush your lashes in the morning and after showers. This keeps them from twisting and helps maintain shape.

Lash Fills: The Key to Consistency

Natural lashes shed every 60–90 days. That means even with perfect care, you’ll need a lash fill every 2–3 weeks to maintain fullness.

Skipping fills can lead to gaps, uneven texture, and more time (and money) needed to recover the look you love.
