Introduction
Lash extensions are a beauty investment that can enhance your eyes and simplify your makeup routine. However, many lash lovers find themselves frustrated when their extensions don’t last as long as expected. If you’re wondering how to make lash extensions last longer, the secret lies in proper aftercare and consistent maintenance. With the right techniques and products, you can extend the life of your lashes significantly between fills.
Why Don’t My Lash Extensions Last?
Lash extensions will naturally fall out over time along with your real lashes. But if you notice them shedding more quickly than usual, several factors may be at play. This could be caused by a few factors, including using oil-based cleansers on your lashes, getting them wet before the application has set and more. Improper care is often the culprit behind premature lash loss. Knowing the proper eyelash extension care is key to knowing how to keep eyelash extensions from falling out and making yours last!
Wondering What to Do in Between Lash Fills? Just Follow the 5 Steps Below!
Even though lash extensions from ESSI LASH will look great longer thanks to the fact that they’re made with premium materials and sealed to your natural lashes with precise adhesion, we recommend following a few simple tips before your next refill appointment:
Clean + Brush Them Daily
Importance of Daily Cleaning for Lash Health
It may seem like “How to Care for Eyelash Extensions 101,” but one of the easiest ways to extend the life of your lashes is to keep your lashes clean. Dirt, oil, and makeup residue can weaken adhesive bonds and cause early fallout. Does Washing Lash Extensions Make Them Last Longer? Short answer: Yes! Cleaning away unwanted oils and heavy makeup will protect your extension adhesive from premature erosion.
How to Properly Clean Lash Extensions
Use our oil-free and alcohol-free foaming cleanser formulated specifically for lash extensions. Use a lash-cleansing brush to gently massage the cleanser into your lash line. Rinse with fresh water until the cleanser and makeup residue is removed. Additionally, you’ll also want to make sure you brush your lashes every morning with a clean mascara wand because while you’re sleeping, your lashes can tangle and flip to the side.
Be Gentle On Your Lashes
Habits That Can Damage Lash Extensions
Avoid rubbing, tugging or plucking when you have lash extensions. These actions not only remove extensions prematurely but also damage natural lashes. If you touch your lash line too much it could cause your extensions to fall off prematurely, who wants that?
How to Sleep, Wash, and Touch Lashes with Care
Avoid sleeping face-down or on rough pillowcases which may crush or tangle lashes. Consider using a silk pillowcase for minimal friction. If you experience an itch near the lash line, a simple trick is to use your mascara wand to brush through your lashes gently.
Use a Protective Lash Sealant
What Is a Lash Sealant and How It Works
If you’ve invested in lash extensions, then you should also invest in a protective lash sealant. A sealant acts like a top coat that reinforces adhesive bonds by shielding against moisture, oils, and pollutants. This is one of our FAVORITE eyelash extension hacks because lash sealant goes a long way to extend the life of the adhesive used to attach the extension to your natural lash.
When and How Often to Apply Sealant
Apply sealant 2–3 times per week unless otherwise directed by your stylist. This product not only protects but also enhances appearance with its dark sheen finish.
Don’t Miss Your Refills… Like, Ever!
Why Regular Refills Are Essential for Longevity
When it comes down to it, making your extensions last and look fab longer boils down to keeping up with your lash refill appointments. Without regular maintenance, gaps become noticeable as natural lashes shed.
Ideal Refill Schedule Based on Lash Growth Cycle
We recommend scheduling your refill for every two weeks. This aligns with most natural growth cycles ensuring fullness is maintained consistently. When you come in for refills on the regular, you ensure a full, lush lash line and the fresh look we all love!
Only Use Lash Extension-Friendly Products
Ingredients to Avoid in Skincare and Makeup
Be sure to stay away from waterproof mascara and any oil- or alcohol-based products or cosmetics. These ingredients break down adhesives leading to premature shedding. Always check labels for compatibility or consult with professionals if unsure. Whether it’s before, during or after your appointment, fill us in and we’ll set the record straight for you and your lashes.
