Eyelash extensions are a semi-permanent beauty treatment and typically last between 4-6 weeks, depending on how well you take care of them and your natural lash growth cycle. However, it’s important to note that eyelash extensions are not meant to last a very long time, they will eventually fall out on their own as your natural lashes shed and regrow.
Here are some tips by The Beauty and Brow Parlour to help you make your eyelash extensions last longer:
- Avoid getting them wet for the first 24-48 hours: This means avoiding water, steam, and sweat as much as possible during this time. The adhesive needs time to fully bond with your natural lashes, so giving it time to dry is important.
- Use oil-free makeup remover: Oil can weaken the adhesive, so be sure to use oil-free makeup remover when removing your makeup. Use a gentle, sweeping motion and avoid rubbing or pulling on your lashes.
- Avoid touching or rubbing your eyes: This can cause the extensions to fall out prematurely, so try to resist the urge to touch or rub your eyes. If you need to remove debris from your lashes, use a clean spoolie brush or a lash cleansing brush.
- Brush your lashes regularly: Use a clean spoolie brush to gently comb through your lashes every day. This will help keep them looking neat and prevent them from tangling.
Some factors that can affect how long your eyelash extensions last include how well you care for them, your skin type, and the skill and experience of your lash artist.
With proper care and maintenance, you can help to extend the lifespan of your eyelash extensions and enjoy beautiful, full lashes for several weeks. However, it’s important to schedule regular touch-up appointments with your lash artist to maintain the look of your lashes and avoid any potential damage to your natural lashes.
