Types of Professional Eyelash Glue Removers
Gel Remover
Popular gel eyelash glue remover is used to remove the partial or entire set of eyelash extensions. Shake the bottle well before the use and allow the gel to sit approximately 2–5 minutes before attempting to remove the extension from the natural lash.
Its thick consistency allows it to stay on lashes without dripping, but if the remover is applied on the lashes for too long, texture can turn watery and irritate the eye, so this type is best used by experienced professionals.
Cream Remover
Using a cream remover is the safest way to remove lash extensions. This thick cream-like consistency remover is easy to apply and sits on the lashes very well without running into eyes or skin.
We recommend the cream type lash remover to all levels of lash professionals.

Professional eyelash extension glue is made of chemical ingredients to soften the hard bonds from the lash extension glue so that extensions slide off safely. The process typically takes less than 10 minutes when performed correctly.
When Do You Need to Remove Lash Extensions?
Eyelash extensions may have to be removed after two or three weeks of wear because of the growth cycle of natural eyelashes. Additionally, if they were poorly applied—such as multiple natural lashes glued together—removal becomes necessary due to discomfort or design disruption.
Can Eyelash Extension Remover Damage Natural Lashes?
No, it won’t. In fact, you won’t even feel your extensions getting removed! Damage occurs only when improper application techniques are used initially—for example, gluing multiple natural lashes together—which leads to painful removal processes.
Can I Remove My Eyelash Extensions with Coconut Oil or Olive Oil?
Removing your own lash extensions using olive oil, coconut oil, or any other kind of over-the-counter product is not recommended. While these oils might weaken adhesive bonds slightly, they are not effective removers and may cause more harm than good by encouraging rubbing or tugging.
Moreover,
these runny oils are likely to smear into the pore of your lash line (skin) and it can block the pore.
