Frequently asked questions about lash aftercare

Understanding how to care for your lash extensions is key to their beauty and longevity. Here, we address your most common concerns and debunk common myths to help you protect your investment.

What are the most crucial tips for keeping new lashes looking great and lasting as long as possible?

Lash Facts: It’s a common misconception that “Lash extensions ruin your natural lashes.” This only happens with improper technique from an untrained artist. With proper application and care, your natural lashes remain healthy. The average person sheds 2-3 upper lashes per eye daily, which means about 21 lashes per week. This natural shedding is why regular fills are essential to maintain fullness. Daily cleansing with an oil-free cleanser is recommended to keep lashes and lash line clean. And remember, absolutely no eyelash curlers on extensions!

What are the key things clients *must* do, and what should they *absolutely avoid* to protect their lashes? Are there any specific products you recommend or warn against?

Must-do's: *Daily cleansing* with an oil-free lash cleanser is paramount for hygiene and retention. *Schedule fills* every 2-3 weeks to keep them full. *Enjoy lash appointments* as a relaxing break. Must-avoid's: *Eyelash curlers* are a definite no-go. *Avoid cotton* products like Q-tips near your lashes, as fibers can snag. Instead, use micro swabs, lip gloss applicators, or eyeshadow brushes for cleaning. *Steer clear of oil-based products* around your eyes, as they can break down the adhesive.

What are the most common questions or worries clients have about their lashes once they're home? How can we help them with these?

Many clients worry about shedding or if they’re washing correctly. Remember, natural lash shedding is normal; you lose 2-3 lashes per eye daily. If you notice excessive shedding or irritation, please contact us immediately. And yes, you absolutely *should* wash your lashes daily with an approved oil-free cleanser – it's crucial for health and longevity! Don't hesitate to reach out if you're unsure about any aspect of your lash care.

When should clients consider coming back for a lash refill or touch-up, and what signs tell them it's time?

Most clients need a lash refill every 2-3 weeks. This timeframe aligns with your natural lash cycle and ensures your extensions remain full and beautiful. Signs it’s time for a refill include noticing gaps, reduced fullness, or extensions that have grown out significantly from the lash line. Consistent refills prevent your lashes from looking sparse and keep them looking their best.

The average person has 90-150 upper lashes per eye; each eye can shed between 2-3 lashes a day.
1 Week= 21 lashes
2 Week= 42 lashes
3 Week= 63 lashes
