How to take care of eyelash extensions

The day finally came, and you got to the stylist and had your extended eyelashes applied. The stylist was skilled, the eyelashes look beautiful, so you will arrive home after a day full of admiring glances from others. But what now? How to take care of your new eyelashes to keep them beautiful as long as possible? What to watch out for and what can happen?

Eyelash loss

In the first days after applying eyelashes extensions, you may realize that you suddenly start to lose more eyelashes than usual. However, the loss of eyelashes is natural, because they have, just as hair has, they own growth cycle and after its completion they fall out whether the false eyelashes are attached to them or not. However, eyelashes extensions are more pronounced, and you will notice them more than if you lose the natural eyelash itself. You don't have to be afraid - until the next addition of eyelashes, new eyelashes will grow instead of the fallen ones, and the stylist will be happy to apply eyelashes extensions to them again.

Make-up and skin care

Even if you have eyelashes extensions, it does not mean that you can´t use make-up and take care of your skin as you are used to. However, it is important to avoid products with an oil component (whether in skin creams, eyeliner, make-up removing products, etc.), because the oil loosens the joints between natural and artificial eyelashes, so you could lose your new eyelashes unnecessarily soon. Do not use classic cotton pads for make-up removal as well, as the fibres from them could get caught on the eyelashes and again break their joints.

Care for first 24 hours after application

The first 24 hours after the application of extended eyelashes are the most important, they most affect how the eyelashes will look and how long they will last. You should avoid excessive moisture, in any form - when showering, crying, and sweating. So, it is better to wash your face carefully with special products, skip the gym, sauna, or swimming pool and also watch out for vapours when cooking or heating at home and in the car. Do not touch the eyelashes, do not rub them, do not scrub them when removing make-up and do not sleep on your stomach with your face resting on the pillow. However, it is good to follow these rules for as long as you have eyelashes extensions, they will reward you with their beauty for a longer period of time. It is also good not to wear contact lenses the day after application and it is best not to put make-up on the eyes. In this case, you will definitely not miss make-up, because the lashes will be so beautifully expressive, and thus overshadow any missing eyeliner or eyeshadow.

Care of eyelashes extensions

Just as we take care of our whole body, eyelashes extensions need care too. However, it is not complicated. You should regularly comb the extended lashes with a special brush, in the morning as you get up and then during the day as needed. Thanks to this, the eyelashes will not be tangled in each other and will always look beautiful. Also watch out for the strong stream of water when showering, although most glues for eyelashes extensions are prepared for this type of load, it never hurts to be more careful. Dry your face carefully by tapping with a towel, do not rub your eyes. With eyelashes extensions, you can safely swim in the pools or in the sea, just let the water drip or dry carefully with a towel.

You can extend the time for which the lashes will last by using a special fixator for eyelashes extensions. It must be applied immediately after the application of eyelashes extensions and then it is enough once every three days. It covers the joints between the natural and artificial eyelash with a thin translucent layer, so the joints are more resistant to external influences and dirt.

Refilling and removal of eyelashes extensions

In order for your extended eyelashes to always be beautiful, it is necessary to go regularly to refill them. The time interval between the refills is usually 3 to 4 weeks, but it also depends on the health and strength of your natural eyelashes, on how you took care of your eyelashes extensions, but also on the time of year. In summer, unfortunately, due to temperature fluctuations, bathing and so on, eyelashes extensions do not last that long.

If you need to remove eyelashes extensions for some reason, there is nothing easier. All you have to do is go to your stylist and she will remove them gently and quickly with the help of special products. If you decide to have your eyelashes extensions completely removed after a few years of regular wear, you may suddenly find your natural eyelashes weak, thin or even damaged. However, correctly applied eyelashes extensions will never damage natural eyelashes, only you may forgot how your natural eyelashes looked in all their natural, not extended beauty. After a few days, you will definitely get used to them again.
