LASH EXTENSIONS AFTERCARE
**IMPORTANT INFORMATION**
- Our After Care instructions have been created to ensure that you get the maximum retention of your eyelash extensions and to help minimise the risk of any unwanted damage and/or reactions.
- Please follow these instructions carefully and contact Lucky Lashes if you have any concerns.
- In the unlikely scenario that you experience a reaction please contact Lucky Lashes immediately.
24 HOURS AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT
- (!) Do not shower or wet the lashes for 24hrs (for best results avoid water for 48hours).
- (!) Avoid Steam & Heavy Exercise for 24hrs
- (!) No spray Tans 24hurs before or after your appointment
- Lash adhesive takes 24-48hours to cure. Getting your lashes wet or exposing them to moisture during this time can severely affect the bond between the lash and the glue as the water creates a reaction with the glue causing it to “flash cure”, which creates a weak brittle bond.
- After 48hours you can get them wet as much as you like.
ONGOING
- DO NOT USE Mascara or eyeliner – the product gets caught between lashes and builds up, making it much harder to clean and may lead to premature lash loss. If you must use mascara, it is important to avoid using it for the first 24hours and that you use a water-based variant.
- AVOID tugging, pulling, or rubbing lashes – this could damage your natural lashes. Excess rubbing may also lead to premature lash loss
- AVOID oily products near the eyes - they can degrade and shorten the life of your extensions. Oil-free aftercare products (oil-free makeup remover) are ok. Lucky Lashes also has products available for sale.
- BRUSH YOUR LASHES. Using a dry mascara brush, gently sweep through the tips of each set to ensure they continue looking full and healthy (and to put any stray lashes back in their place).
- BE GENTLE – rubbing your eyes when you have eyelash extensions may cause them to fall out faster or unevenly. When washing your face be gentle around the eye area and avoid positioning your head in full strength of water flow (let the water run down your face).
- TRY NOT TO SLEEP ON YOUR FACE – sleeping on your face will cause extra rubbing of your lashes and may cause lashes to fall out prematurely. If you are a side sleeper, you may notice that your sleeping side has fewer lashes than your other side. If this happens try to switch sides for a couple of nights or try sleeping on your back to avoid pressure/rubbing from your pillow.
- SEEK A PROFESSIONAL - Never try to remove eyelash extensions by yourself. If you want to take a break or wish to remove them, please book a free professional removal to avoid damaging your natural lashes.
- DO NOT PERM LASHES – Do not perm lashes before OR after receiving lash extensions.
*Reminder*
- Lashes each have their own ‘growth’ and ‘shedding’ cycle. After a few weeks, you will notice new lashes growing and pushing old lashes out. In order to maintain the quality of our work and your lash health and hygiene, we suggest having a new set (with free removal add-on) every after 3-4 refill appointments.
