Follow these simple tips to get the most out of your new lashes.
1
It is normal to experience loss of some lashes during the first 24 hours after the procedure as adhesive is still setting; please take extra care during this period. There are approximately 50-70 lashes applied to each eye. To keep your lashes looking full you should ensure to have them regularly infilled, preferably every 2-3 weeks.
2
We advise that you should not use any eye makeup remover products on the lashes at all, as the chemicals in them could cause the bond to melt and the lashes to come off. If make up removed is used, you will need to take extra care when using this as it may contain oil that damages the bonding agent.
3
DO NOT USE MASCARA you will not have to use mascara after an application. This causes clumps on the lashes when it comes to infills and can cause the extensions to fall off as the mascara compromises the glue. If you wish to use mascara, we recommend using a water based one that is specially created to be used with lash extensions. Avoid using waterproof mascaras as that will shorten the life of your lash extensions.
4
During the first 24 to 48 hours after treatment, we advise you should not expose extensions to water, go swimming or use steam rooms/saunas, this is to ensure the extension bonds to the natural lash.
5
Please avoid any rubbing, picking or pulling of the eyelashes as this will cause some lashes to fall out naturally and taking the extension with it.
6
Avoid using tanning beds for 48 hours.
7
Ensure lashes are not manipulated into different positions (e.g. when sleeping, cleansing the face, applying moisturiser or cosmetics)
8
Do not apply eye creams or moisturisers over the lashes, avoid them completely.
9
Wash your eye area including lashes and the extensions, as this needs to be kept clean in order to retain lashes. This can be done using a purpose made cleanser and lash cleansing brush. Please do not rub your lashes while washing them and avoid using cotton wool. If you need one of these packs then please pick one up in store.
10
Eyelash Curlers heated or otherwise should not be used.
