Proper lash extension aftercare is crucial for maintaining the longevity and health of lash extensions. Not only does it ensure that your clients’ lashes stay in place, but it also reflects positively on your professional reputation. By providing your clients with the necessary information and guidance on lash aftercare, you can help them maintain beautiful and healthy lashes for an extended period. So, how to take care of lash extensions properly?
Below are 10 of our lash aftercare essential tips for everyone to apply in daily life.
1. Tip number 1: Avoid contact with water or steam
One of the most essential lash aftercare tips is that clients shouldn’t have their eyelashes contacted with water or steam within 24 hours. This is because water as well as steam can break the adhesive bond on the lashes, directly affecting their lash retention.
If clients have to wash their hair or face, they can use chilled water and keep water away from their eyes.
However, to accelerate the curing time of glue, you can use our Super Bonder. Instead of having to wait 24 hours for your lash set to dry completely, you and your clients can now enjoy a beautiful lash set in just 3 hours after application.
2. Tip number 2: Avoid pulling the extensions or rubbing the eyes
Advise clients not to pick at their eyelashes or rub their eyes roughly. This could damage not only the eyelash extensions but also the natural lashes! It will also result in poor retention.
3. Tip number 3: Wash lashes regularly
Clients should clean their eyelashes properly at least once a day. However, many still believe that they can’t touch their eyelash extensions at all, and that is so wrong.
The key is to use oil-free products and clean eyelashes gently to wash away debris, dust, or products containing oil. By doing this, clients can prolong their lash extensions.

4. Tip number 4: Use oil-free products only
Again, clients should wash their lashes daily with oil-free products in keeping their extensions as long as possible.
Avoid using oil-based products, including face moisturizers, cleansers, or any other eye makeup, since these types of products can damage the adhesive bond of the lashes. Instead, clients should use water-based products for better results.
And if you are still wondering where to find a high-quality oil-free lash cleanser, then look no further. We highly recommend you use CharmLash’s lash shampoo, which is an infused oil-free product.
This shampoo is an excellent choice for daily use to remove oils, impurities, and dust, as well as build-up debris from eyelashes. The foam completely rises out and leaves no residue on your lashes. Our lash shampoo also does not weaken the adhesive bond and the compositions improve lash health.
5. Number 5: Avoid using mascara
When having lash extensions, clients should avoid using mascara (even water-based ones) because it can damage their extensions as well as their natural lashes due to excess weight.
Besides, using mascara can ruin the beautiful shape of lash extensions.
6. Tip number 6: Avoid using strip lashes
Clients should also avoid putting strip lash on top of lash extensions at all costs. Unless they are willing to lose a few of their own lashes when they try to remove strip lashes.
7. Tip number 7: Brush lashes
To maintain a beautiful lash set, clients are encouraged to follow this lash extension aftercare tip.
Clients should brush their lash extensions as much as possible. Brushing lash extensions keeps their lashes neat, tidy, and separated, preventing them from looking clumpy and unnatural, keeping them looking natural and in-shaped for a long period of time.
8. Tip number 8: Sleeping on the back
Nothing, including your pillow, should come into contact with your eyelash extensions! Sleeping on the side is fine, but if your clients want to keep their lashes looking beautiful for longer, they should try to sleep on their backs if possible, and definitely not on their fronts.
9. Tip number 9: Avoid using eyelash curlers
This will have an impact on the position of the lashes that the lash artist has spent so much time perfecting them.
Curling and squeezing the lashes can also damage and even remove the lash extensions! So make sure your client leaves them alone; they’re really unnecessary on extensions because they’re already beautifully curled.
10. Tip number 10: Regular infills
Clients should get regular infills every 2-3 weeks if they want to keep their lashes looking gorgeous and in good condition for longer. In conclusion, following these 10 tips for lash extension aftercare will greatly benefit clients in maintaining their beautiful lashes for a longer period of time. By incorporating these simple practices into their daily routine, clients can ensure that their lash extensions stay intact and look stunning.
