Aftercare
Client’s aftercare plays a huge role for retention, please follow the below guidelines to ensure you’re properly caring for your lashes.
-
Do not wet your fresh lashes for 24 hours, that Includes sweating/crying. Stay clear from the gym, steam, & sauna etc while the bond is fully curing
-
Avoid rubbing, pulling, touching your extension/eyes, sleeping on your face or sides. Back sleeping is best. Silk pillowcases are recommended to prevent additional tugging/twisting of the extensions.
-
Do not use any oil base products on your eyes/extensions. Check your makeup remover. This includes moisturizer, eye cream, & sunscreens.
-
Do not use mascara or strip lashes on top of your extensions. This includes using a curler on them.
-
Squeaky clean lashes = better retention. It is recommended to wash them morning & night with your foam cleanser in addition to if you cry, sweat or get anything wet on them. Please use a gentle cleansing brush.
-
Only brush lashes when they are dried. Brushing when wet can cause excessive tugging. Air dry, pat dry with lint free paper towel, or blow dry on a cool setting. Once lashes are dried, brush gently till they fluff!
-
Avoid Qtips/Cotton, can get caught easily around the base. (Lint free ONLY)
-
Always keep your lashes clean as to prevent buildup of makeup/products, natural oils & “crusties/crystals” which are salty tears that harden around your lash line & extension base. A healthy cleaning regimen will prevent Blepharitis, which is an eye inflammation that can lead to lash growth abnormalities of your natural lashes.
-
Avoid getting make up such as foundation, concealer, & eyeshadow on your lashes. Be sure to wash them.
-
Be mindful around heat including BBQs, lighters, stoves & hair heating tools as heat can singe/crimp your lashes.
We all shed up to 5 lashes per day. Each individual client has a unique lash cycle & you may experience different last sheds between fills. Spring & Fall are seasons with the most aggressive sheds that can last up to 6 to 8 weeks. It is recommended to book in your fills accordingly.
