5 Tips to Maintain Healthy Lashes

Welcome! Thank you for joining me on my NEW website. I will be updating this blog with tips and information about the services I offer. This week, I want to focus on my most popular service, lashes. Lash extensions are an investment. Not everyone will love them and not everyone is a lash candidate. Yes, they look amazing and cut down your getting ready time. Lash extensions also require up keep and home care. Here are 5 tips to maintain your natural lash health while wearing extensions.

1. Keep them clean and oil free.

• Stay away from products that contain oil like eyeliner, eye shadow, and mascara.

• Cleanse your lashes with an oil/ tear free cleanser such as baby shampoo 2-3 weekly.

• Brush your lashes daily to prevent tangling.

2. Book your refill in advance to avoid paying for another full set.

• Depending on your skin type, hair type, and hair growth, you will need a refill every 2-3 weeks.

• You should have no less than 50% at time of refill appointment.

3. Sleep Pretty

• Try to sleep on your side or back to prevent unnecessary shedding during sleep.

• Be mindful that you may have more shedding on your dominant sleeping side.

• Use a satin or silk pillow case to help prevent sleep shedding.

4. No Touching

• No rubbing or touching eye area so that you do not spread bacteria and cause infection.

• Do not pull at lashes. Your natural lashes will be pulled out with the extension.

5. Come in for a proper removal

• DO NOT attempt to remove lashes at home.

• Improper removal can cause damage to natural lashes.

There are many resources to learn what to expect, pricing in your area, home care, and pros/cons. I always go through this information at your first appointment and will answer any questions you may have. See you soon!
