TIPS FOR LONG LASTING LASHES

INTRODUCTION

Having amazing eyelashes from the second you go to sleep, until the moment you wake up will make you feel incredible. However, to ensure your lashes are in the best possible condition, it important you get information on how to maintain and care for them. Below, we have included some of our top tips to ensure you have long lasting lashes.

AVOIDING WATER AND STEAM

Firstly, and probably the most important, tip would be to inform your clients about the importance of avoiding contact with water and steam for the first 48 hours after the eyelash application. During this time, the glue is still drying, meaning the lash extension is still bonding to the natural lash and any contact with steam or water is likely to break the bond and make the extensions fall out quicker.

AVOID OIL BASE PRODUCTS

Secondly, it’s important that you remind your client to only use oil-free or water-based products, due to the oil in the products being a huge factor in weakening the glue. It is always a good idea to give your client some oil-free products that you can recommend! Below, we have added some of our favourite oil-free and water-based products.

CLEANING LASH EXTENSIONS

Cleaning lash extensions regularly is extremely important if you want them to remain in the best possible condition and last long. This lash cleansing set is ideal for your clients that love to take care of their lashes. This set contains one bottle of Lash Foaming Cleanser and a Lash Cleaning Brush.

This product is also perfect for giving your lashes a ‘lash bath’ as it removes any dirt or natural oils that could be weakening the bond between the lash extension and natural lash. 

LASH FRIENDLIER LINER

Next up is the perfect product for all of your clients that love eyeliner. Since eyelash extensions began, it was a known fact that eyeliner was a no-go due to the oil content within the product. However, eyelash emporium have bought out the most amazing eyeliner that is, in fact, eyelash extension friendly!

OIL FREE EYE MAKEUP REMOVER

It’s important that when you remove your makeup (particularly your eye makeup) that you use an oil-free product to avoid breaking down the lash adhesive and damaging your lashes.

BRUSHING YOUR LASHES

Our third tip for your client to have long-lasting lashes is to brush their lash extensions on a daily basis. This may seem like an obvious step, but clients that are new to this treatment usually forget the extensions are even on. Brushing them on a daily basis usually means morning and night.

It is also recommended that your client brushes them after showers and baths etc, due to the fact the extensions stick together when they are wet. That’s why you should always ensure you provide your client with a lash wand to take home with them. 

CARING FOR YOUR LASH EXTENSIONS

Below we have attached a client care card, these are perfect for reading to your client, and we also recommend giving them a copy to take home with them. We suggest keeping the cards small, anything bigger and your client is more than likely going to bin it, whereas these small, handy cards are perfect for popping in your purse.
