The tips and tricks
There are a handful of ways to help ensure you get great wear out of your extensions, including correct grooming, washing and make up removal.
I think we all know that Oil is one of the main contributor to extensions prematurely falling off as it damages the bond between extension, natural and glue pod. This can come from skin, hair (fringes in particular), facial products, make up and of course everyday pollution. Your extensions are bound to come into contact with oil over the course of your day to day actives so it more about limiting the time your extensions spend ‘sitting in’ the oil then completely avoiding it.
Sleep extension friendly (easier said than done)
Sleeping on your back instead of your side or worse yet your front/face helps to prevent stress on your extensions and natural lashes. It also helps to prevent the extension getting kinks in them or loosing the bond between natural lash and extension. This is most important directly after your lash appointment and for a few days after.
Hey!! Go Gentle!
Also (extension or no extensions) be kind to your lashes. Gentle wipe all make up off with a soft make up wipe, no rubbing. Or better yet take your spoolie into the shower with a little baby shampoo on it and give them a groom and wash.
You! Yes you! Fingers off them!!
Don’t twist, pull, pluck or fiddle with your extensions. This puts extra stress on the natural lashes and can cause premature shedding. It will also add oil deposits into the lashes and can cause the base of the extension to lift. So if they are moving in unflattering ways, groom them back into line.
Speaking of….Groom them.
This helps to prevent any of your extensions getting criss-crossed or out of place. Gently use you spoolie to maneuver your extensions back into place. You can brush under or in an over action, either is fine. Just be gentle.
