Questions

Lash aftercare, answered.

What are the aftercare instructions for lash extensions?

Keep the lashes dry for the time your lash artist gives, wash them daily with an oil-free lash cleanser, brush them through, keep oils, mascara and direct heat away, and book a fill every 2 to 3 weeks. The sheet above puts it on one page.

How soon after eyelash extensions can I shower?

It depends on the glue, which is why the sheet leaves the hours for the artist to write in. Of the pages we read, most say 24 hours, some 24 to 48 and one up to 8. With a UV set the bond is cured under the lamp during the appointment, and once cured it resists water and oil.

How often should lash extensions be washed?

Daily, with an oil-free lash cleanser, in four of the pages that give a figure. One says at least a few times a week.

How often should lash extensions be brushed?

Daily, with a clean lash brush, in the pages that give a figure.

Can I use this sheet in my salon?

Yes. It is free to print and hand to your clients. Write your salon's name, your own name and the next fill on the top line.
