***MUST KNOW LASH AFTERCARE INFORMATION***

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO BRUSH YOUR LASHES DAILY?

Brushing your lash extensions daily or frequently helps to keep them looking neat, separated, and well-groomed. Here's why it's important:

1. Prevents Tangling: Lash extensions can sometimes become tangled or crisscrossed due to movement or friction. Brushing them with a clean mascara wand or a spoolie helps to untangle any crossed lashes, ensuring that they appear smooth and uniform.

2. Maintains Appearance: Brushing helps the lashes maintain their intended shape and arrangement. It prevents lashes from twisting or bending in directions that are not natural, which can happen due to sleep or other activities.

3. Removes Debris: Brushing can help remove any dust, dirt, or makeup residue that might have accumulated on the lashes. This keeps them clean and prevents potential eye irritation.

4. Promotes Longevity: Regular brushing can extend the life of your lash extensions by preventing lashes from sticking together or becoming tangled, which can lead to premature shedding.

5. Supports Natural Lash Health: Gently brushing the lash extensions can stimulate blood circulation to the hair follicles and encourage healthy lash growth.

Remember to brush your lash extensions very gently and without applying too much pressure to avoid damaging both the extensions and your natural lashes.


WHY SHOULD YOU KEEP LASH EXTENTIONS DRY FOR FIRST 12- 24 HOUR?

Avoiding water and steam for the first 24 hours after getting lash extensions helps the adhesive properly bond and set. Water and steam can weaken the adhesive, leading to premature detachment of the lash extensions. This period allows the adhesive to cure fully, ensuring the longevity and durability of the lash extensions.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO AVOID SLEEPING IN FACE DOWN POSITION?

Sleeping on your back or side is recommended when having lash extensions to avoid putting direct pressure on your lashes. Sleeping face down can cause friction and friction can lead to lashes rubbing against each other, which may result in premature shedding or damage to the extensions. Sleeping on your back or side helps to minimize the risk of our lashes getting tangled, bent, or displaced, thus prolonging the life of the lash extensions. 

WHY ARE YOU NOT SUPPOSED TO RUB, PICK OR PULL LASH EXTENSIONS?

Pulling, picking, or rubbing lash extensions can cause damage to both the extensions and your natural lashes. The adhesive used for lash extensions is delicate and designed to hold the extensions in place without harming your natural lashes. Applying excessive force through pulling or rubbing can weaken the bond between the extensions and your natural lashes, leading to premature shedding or even causing your natural lashes to break.

Handling lash extensions with care is essential because the extensions are attached to your natural lashes individually. Rough handling can result in tangling, twisting, or bending of the extensions, which can make them look uneven or cause them to fall out sooner than expected. Gently combing through the lashes with a clean mascara wand and avoiding unnecessary touching ensures that the extensions stay in place and maintain their intended appearance.

In summary, treating lash extensions gently and refraining from pulling or rubbing them helps to preserve their longevity, prevent damage to your natural lashes, and maintain the overall quality of the lash extension application.

WHY IS OIL BAD FOR LASH EXTENSIONS?

Oil is considered the worst enemy of lash extensions because it can weaken the adhesive that hold the extensions in place. The adhesive used for lash extensions is typically water-based, and oils can break down this adhesive, causing the extensions to come loose or fall off prematurely. 

Additionally, oil-based products can leave a residue on the lashes, attracting dirt, debris, and makeup. This buildup can lead to poor lash hygiene, potential eye irritation, and an overall less appealing appearance of the lash extentions. 

To maintain the integrity of lash extensions, it's important to avoid oil-based makeup removers, cleansers, and other products near the eye area. Instead opt for oil-free products and make sure to cleanse the lashes gently with our lash-safe cleanser as a part of your daily routine.

WHY IS IT CRUCIAL TO WASH LASHES AT LEAST ONCE A DAY?

Washing lash extensions daily is important for maintaining their cleanliness and preventing the buildup of oils, makeup, and debris. Proper cleaning helps to prolong the life of the lash extensions by preventing potential damage caused by accumulated dirt. However, it's crucial to use gentle, oil-free cleanser and avoid rubbing or pulling on the lashes to ensure they stay securely attached. 

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT LASH EXTENSIONS AND NATURAL OILS/SWEAT!

Lash extensions and natural oils/sweat have a few important considerations:

1. **Oil and Sweat Interference:** Natural oils produced by your skin, along with sweat, can potentially weaken the adhesive used for lash extensions. Oils can break down the adhesive bond, leading to premature lash extension loss. This is why using oil-based products around your eyes is generally discouraged, and you should be cautious when exercising or in humid environments where sweat might come into contact with the lashes.

2. **Aftercare and Cleansing:** Proper aftercare is essential. Use a lash-safe, oil-free cleanser to gently clean your lashes daily. This helps remove any oil buildup, makeup residue, and sweat, promoting the longevity of your lash extensions.

3. **Avoid Touching:** Touching or rubbing your lash extensions with oily or sweaty fingers can transfer oils and sweat to the lashes, potentially causing the adhesive to weaken and the extensions to fall out sooner than expected.

4. **Sebum Production:** Everyone's skin produces varying amounts of natural oils (sebum). Individuals with naturally oilier skin might find that their lash extensions require more diligent cleaning and maintenance to prevent oil buildup.

5. **Lash Extension Type:** The type of lash extensions you have can also influence their interaction with oils and sweat. Different adhesives and lash materials may react differently to these factors.

6. **Use Oil-Free Products:** When choosing skincare or makeup products, opt for oil-free formulations, especially around the eye area. This helps reduce the likelihood of oil transferring to your lash extensions.

In essence, understanding the potential impact of natural oils and sweat on your lash extensions is crucial for maintaining their appearance and longevity. Adhering to proper aftercare, using oil-free products, and being cautious about touching or rubbing your lashes can all contribute to keeping your lash extensions in excellent condition.
