DO: Avoid H20
Steer clear of the wet stuff at least 24 hours after your lash application. Hot damp conditions like your Hot Yoga session or steamy showers can reactivate the glue causing your lashes to loosen, drop off, twist or clump together. Long term, a splash of water here and there won’t be catastrophic for your lashes - though we recommend fanning them dry as soon as you step out of the gym / shower.
DON'T: Touch them!
Avoid plucking, pulling, yanking and twisting your lashes. If you need them gone, book in for a removal to have them removed safely. If not you can damage your natural lashes causing baldness (no thanks!)
DO: Say Goodbye to formaldehyde
‘Goodbye what now?’ you ask… Formaldehyde is a chemical commonly found in cigarette smoke, plywood, plastics, fabrics and fertilizer. Formaldehyde can also be found in some mascaras and makeup products. Some lash glues contain formaldehyde. In low doses formaldehyde is relatively safe - though some studies suggest it could be carcinogenic. Due to its allergenic nature it is not always recommended for use in the eye area as it could lead to nasty reactions. I only use hypoallergenic, formaldehyde-free lash adhesive - so you and your gorgeous lashes are in safe hands!
DON'T: Slap on the facial oils & heavy moisturisers
Conditioners, heavy night creams and facial oils will gradually loosen the bond of the lash glue - causing lashes to prematurely fall out. When applying your moisturiser avoid the eye area completely. If you must attack those dark circles, dab your eye cream on with your ring finger for a more precise application. In the shower, wash your hair by tilting your head back to avoid any product washing into your lash line. Better yet, wash your lashes in the shower with lash bath.
DO: Keep them clean!
Lash bath is your best friend girls! Even if you don’t wear make up. Washing your lashes each day will keep them fluffy and will keep them separated You skin naturally produces oils and flacks dead skin and it will sit on your lash line. Eek!
DON'T: Apply mascara
This is an absolute no-no. There’s no need to! Throw out your dried up mascara wands and embrace full, flirty lashes for longer. Using mascara over your lash extensions will tug at the glue, damaging the application, clumping the hand made fans and making them stick together.
DO: Refill every 2-3 weeks
Your lash extensions will gradually fall out over time with your natural lashes. Fret not, this is completely normal! I recommended booking ahead to fill in any gaps and keep your lashes looking full and fabu-’lash’! With a variety of lengths and curls available I completely tailor your lashes - for a look you’ll love.
