Lash Aftercare Guide: Secrets to Keeping Your Lash Extensions Perfectly Beautiful
As a lash technician, in addition to performing precise techniques, you also need to ensure that your clients know how to care for their lashes after the extension process so that their lashes remain beautiful and long-lasting, just like the first day. This not only helps satisfy clients but also builds your professional reputation, leading to more returning customers. In this blog, LavisLash will share the most detailed guidelines for advising clients on how to properly care for their lash extensions
Avoid Water Contact in the First 24-48 Hours
In the first 1-2 days after getting lash extensions, the adhesive needs time to fully set. Contact with water too soon can weaken the bond, causing the lashes to shed prematurely. It’s recommended that clients avoid washing their face too thoroughly around the eyes, steaming, or engaging in intense physical activities to minimize sweat, which can affect the lashes.
Limit Strong Impact on Lashes
Touching the lashes, rubbing the eyes, or pulling on the extensions can loosen and cause them to fall out. When clients frequently touch or rub their eyes, the extensions become unstable, leading to a loss of adhesive strength and premature shedding, making it difficult for the lashes to maintain their original shape. To maintain the longevity of the lash extensions, advise your clients to avoid these habits and discourage sleeping face down, as direct contact with the pillow can cause the lashes to break, tangle, or shed faster. In particular, lashes that are compressed or stretched are more likely to break, affecting the natural length and thickness of the lashes.

Use Oil-Free Makeup Removers
Oil is the "enemy" of lash adhesive because it can dissolve the glue, causing the lashes to shed more easily. Clients should use an oil-free makeup remover to clean the eye area. Additionally, it's best to limit the use of mascara, especially waterproof mascara, as removing it can affect the durability of the lashes.
Furthermore, the quality of the lash adhesive plays a crucial role in maintaining lash retention. You may want to consider LavisLash's Titan adhesive, which is highly praised for its strong bonding, water resistance, and helps create beautiful, long-lasting lash sets from the start.
Proper Lash Cleaning to Maintain Longevity
Dirt, excess oils, and bacteria can cause lashes to shed quickly and irritate the eyes. To avoid this, guide your clients on how to clean their lashes properly: use a specialized lash cleanser (lash foam) to remove dirt and oil buildup, cleaning lashes 2-3 times a week. Encourage the use of a soft brush to gently comb along the length of the lashes, preventing tangling and keeping them neat.
Avoid High-Temperature Products
High temperatures can damage the adhesive and cause the lashes to shed faster. Clients should avoid using heated eyelash curlers on their extensions and limit direct use of a blow dryer on the eye area. If necessary, they should set the temperature on low and maintain a safe distance from the lashes.
When you thoroughly advise clients on lash care, you not only help them better understand the lash extension process but also build trust and showcase your professionalism. Clients will appreciate your attention to their beauty and long-lasting experience, fostering a long-term connection that makes them want to return and recommend your services to others.
Apply these tips to help your clients maintain captivating, long-lasting lashes, ensuring they are satisfied and confident in your services!
