This guide shares pro tips on safe eyelash extension removal, the tools you need, and why products like those from ESSI LASH are great for lash techs and beauty pros.

Eyelash Extension Removal at Home: Is It Safe?

The quick answer is no. You can find lots of DIY videos online that say to use things like coconut oil or olive oil to remove eyelash extensions at home. But these ways can be risky. Taking them off wrong can hurt your eyes, cause infections, or harm your natural lashes. Going to a trained lash tech is the safest and best way. If you can’t get to a pro, this guide will show you how to use pro-grade removers safely with help from someone with steady hands.

 

Types of Professional Eyelash Glue Removers

Pro eyelash glue removers are made to break down the glue that holds extensions without hurting your natural lashes. There are two main kinds: gel and cream. Each has special features for different skill levels.

Gel Remover

Gel removers, like the ESSI LASH Gel Remover, are thick and stay on the lashes without dripping into your eyes. They’re great for taking off some or all extensions. To use, shake the bottle well. Then, put the gel on the extensions. Let it sit for 2-5 minutes. After that, gently take off the extensions. But, if you leave it on too long, the gel can get runny and might bother your eyes. So, it’s best for people who know what they’re doing.

Cream Remover

Cream removers, like the ESSI LASH Cream Remover, are the safest for everyone. Their thick, creamy texture stays put, so it won’t irritate your eyes or skin. They’re perfect for removing whole sets of extensions and are gentle but work well. The ESSI LASH Cream Remover has no taste, uses just a little product, and is great for both new and experienced lash artists.

Caution

Pro removers have strong stuff like Gamma-butyrolactone, Montmorillonite, Copolymer, and Ding Fang to dissolve glue. You shouldn’t put them on yourself because they can hurt your eyes. Always have a trained pro or a careful helper with steady hands do the removal.

How to Use Eyelash Glue Remover

 

To take off eyelash extensions safely, follow these steps with a pro-grade remover like ESSI LASH’s Gel or Cream Remover:

1. Pick the Remover: Choose a good eyelash extension glue remover, like ESSI LASH’s Cream or Gel Remover.

2. Protect the Eyes: Put under-eye pads and tape or cotton pads to keep the skin around your eyes safe from the remover.

3. Get the Remover Ready: Put a small drop of the remover on a clean spot, like a disposable palette.

4. Put on the Remover: Use a tiny swab to carefully put the remover on the extensions, focusing on the glue spots.

5. Wait a Bit: Let the remover sit for about 3 minutes to melt the glue.

6. Take Off Extensions: Gently use a swab or tweezers to slide the extensions off your natural lashes.

7. Clean Up: Use a clean, lint-free swab to wipe off any leftover remover from your lashes.

8. Rinse Well: Soak a cotton pad or swab in water. Then, rinse your lashes to get rid of any remaining product.

9. Dry and Brush: Use a small fan to dry your lashes. Then, brush them gently to get them back in place.

10. Done: Your eyelash extensions are now off, and your natural lashes are safe.

Pro Tips for Using Professional Lash Extension Glue Remover

• Don’t Rub Right Away: Don’t rub the extensions right after putting on the remover. This can cause a white mess from the glue breaking down. Wait 2-5 minutes for it to work.

• Clean Well: Make sure all remover is gone from your lashes before adding water or other stuff. This stops irritation or white residue.

• Store Right: Close the remover bottle tight after using it to keep air out. Store it in a cool, dry place away from sunlight.

• Be Careful: Sometimes, the remover’s strong stuff can make air build up in the bottle, causing it to spill. This doesn’t hurt the product, but handle it carefully.

How Does Eyelash Glue Remover Work?

Pro eyelash glue removers, like those from ESSI LASH, are made to soften and break the glue that holds extensions. This lets the extensions slide off without pulling or hurting your natural lashes. When a trained pro does it, the process takes less than 10 minutes. It’s painless and keeps your lashes healthy.

When Should You Remove Eyelash Extensions?

You usually need to remove eyelash extensions after 2-3 weeks because your natural lashes grow. This can make extensions look uneven and mess up your style. Also, remove them if they were put on wrong, like if many natural lashes are stuck together. That can feel bad or irritate your eyes.

Can Eyelash Extension Remover Damage Natural Lashes?

If used right, pro removers like ESSI LASH’s products won’t harm your natural lashes. Damage happens only if extensions were put on badly, like when many lashes are glued together. Then, taking them off can hurt and might make natural lashes fall out. That’s why picking a trained lash tech for putting on and taking off extensions is so important.

Why Avoid DIY Methods Like Coconut or Olive Oil?

Using stuff like coconut or olive oil to remove eyelash extensions isn’t a good idea. These oils might weaken the glue a little, but they’re not strong enough to break it down fully. This can lead to too much rubbing or pulling, which can hurt your natural lashes. Also, runny oils can get into your lash line, clog pores, and maybe cause infections or slow lash growth. Pro removers, like those from ESSI LASH, are thick to stay on the lashes and avoid touching your skin.

Home Care for Natural Lashes Post-Removal

After taking off eyelash extensions, give your natural lashes some love to help them grow strong. Try this three-step plan:

1. Lash Shampoo: Use an oil-free, plant-based lash cleaner to keep lashes free of dirt.

2. Lash Essence: Put on a moisturizing essence to make your lashes stronger and healthier.

3. Lash Growth Serum: Use a product like ESSI LASH’s growth serum to make lashes longer, fuller, and shinier in just weeks.
