With a little care, your extensions can look full and fluffy for four to six weeks. To keep them fresh, plan on a quick touch-up (called a “refill”) every two to three weeks. It’s a simple way to keep your lashes looking amazing without needing a whole new set.
What Not to Do if You Want Long-Lasting Lashes
Here are the three big no-nos that can cut down on your lash life:
Don’t Touch or Rub
It’s tempting, but hands off! Picking or rubbing your lashes can make them fall out faster.
Say No to Waterproof Makeup
Waterproof products can mess with the glue that holds your lashes in place, leading to fallout. Best to avoid it!
Avoid Oil-Based Products
Oil weakens lash glue, so skip oil-based cleansers, makeup removers, and heavy creams around your eyes.
Simple Tips for Keeping Your Lashes Fresh
Follow these easy steps to keep your lashes looking as good as day one:
Brush ‘Em Daily
Give your lashes a quick brush each day with a clean spoolie (those little mascara wands) to keep them fluffy and tangle-free.
Ditch the Mascara
Mascara can clump up on extensions and mess with the glue. If you absolutely must wear it, go for a water-based, lash-extension-safe formula.
Cleanse Gently
Wash your lashes daily with a lash-safe cleanser to remove oils and buildup. It’s a quick step that keeps them looking fresh!
When It’s Time for a Fill
Noticing gaps or twisted lashes? Time to book a refill! A quick refill refreshes your lashes without needing a whole new set and helps them stay full and beautiful.
