Proper aftercare is the secret to long-lasting, beautiful lash extensions. In this guide, we break down simple, science-backed tips used by professionals to help you keep your lashes flawless for weeks.

First 24 Hours: What To Avoid

After your lash appointment, avoid water, steam, and heavy sweating for the first 24 hours to allow the adhesive to fully cure. This includes hot showers, saunas, intense workouts, and facial treatments.

 
Avoid oil-based products near your eyes — they break down lash adhesive and cause premature shedding.

Daily Care: Keep Them Clean

Use a lash-safe cleanser and a soft brush to clean your lashes every day. This removes natural oils, makeup residue, and dust that can cause buildup and irritation.

“Clean lashes last longer and look better — daily maintenance is everything.”

Sleeping and Styling

  • Sleep on your back or use a silk pillowcase to reduce friction.
  • Avoid eyelash curlers and waterproof mascara.
  • Brush your lashes gently with a clean spoolie every morning.

When To Book a Fill

Most clients schedule fills every 2–3 weeks depending on their natural lash cycle, lifestyle, and aftercare routine. If you notice gaps, twisting lashes, or reduced fullness, it’s time for a fill.
