If you don\u2019t want take time every day to curl your lashes, or apply mascara, eyelash extensions are a great way to go. Not only do they make your lashes longer, but lash extensions also make your eyelashes fuller and perfectly shaped. It\u2019s the ultimate trick to waking up and looking great!<\/p>\n

How do you make your fake lashes, or eyelash extensions, last as long as possible though? There are actually quite a few dos and don\u2019ts to ensure your eyelash extensions last as long as possible!<\/p>\n

Sleep On Your Back<\/h2>\n

\"Alexandra<\/p>\n

When you first get the extensions, try sleeping on your back for a night or two. Otherwise, as you toss and turn you might knock the lashes with your pillow, which can lead to tangled lashes. This is because the glue still needs to dry properly.<\/p>\n

Avoid Water and Oil for the First 24-hours<\/h2>\n

\"Praveen<\/p>\n

Just like it\u2019s a good idea to sleep on your back for a day or two, it\u2019s important to avoid hot baths, saunas, steams, creams, oils and anything else that might affect the lashes in the first 24-hours. This includes anything damp or oily, so when washing your face avoid your eyes. Likewise when putting on moisturizer, avoid the eyes. And if there\u2019s a downpour outside\u2014stay inside!<\/p>\n

Brush Them Out<\/h2>\n

\"Beautiful<\/p>\n

To avoid tangled lashes, use a spoolie wand to brush them out daily. When you brush one side out, just close the eye, put the spoolie wand on top of your eyelashes and gently roll the lashes upward to ensure they keep their shape.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Use Oil on Your Eyelash Extensions<\/h2>\n

As a general rule, oil breaks down the glue that keeps your eyelash extensions glued to your regular lashes. Therefore, stay away from any oil based products around the eyes.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Curl Your Lashes or Apply Mascara<\/h2>\n

\"Scandinavian<\/p>\n

Any strain put on your lashes, will shorten the time the lashes will last. So avoid putting on mascara (it\u2019s not needed), or trying to curl your lashes\u2014all you need is the above mentioned spoolie wand to shape your lashes!<\/p>\n

Of course, if you want to use a water based mascara once or twice, it\u2019s fine. Just try to avoid it in general!<\/p>\n

Avoid Cotton<\/h2>\n

\"Jen<\/p>\n

Cotton fibers can get stuck in your lashes, so when removing makeup from your eyelids, take care only to use cleansing wipes, or towels of some kind. In short, don\u2019t use cotton balls, or cotton swabs, as they can get tangled in your lashes.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Rub Your Eyelashes<\/h2>\n

\"Close<\/p>\n

If you want to rub your eyes, rub around the lashes, as opposed to on top of them, if possible. Also, don\u2019t pull your lashes, or play with them, as it might make them fall off faster (you will naturally shed lashes every day anyway :).<\/p>\n

See a Trained Professional If Your Eyes Get Red or Itchy<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your eyes should not get red or itchy after getting a set of fake eyelashes. If they do, immediately call your eyelash technician and have them removed. While this is extremely unlikely to happen, you must call instantly to have them removed if it\u2019s the case. If it happens, it\u2019s because you are allergic to something in the adhesive.<\/p>\n

Get a Refill<\/h2>\n

\"Hayley<\/p>\n

To ensure your lashes stay happy and healthy, see a professional regularly for refills as well. It\u2019s cheaper to get a refill, than to get a new full set of lashes. And the better you care for your lashes, the less often you will need a refill!<\/p>\n

A professional will also be able to advice you when it\u2019s time for a break from eyelash extensions. No matter how fine the hair that is applied, it creates extra weight for your lashes to carry. Therefore, they become brittle over time if you do not take a break.<\/p>\n
