Beware of the Burn!
Handling hot ovens, lighting grills, or even struggling with a stubborn lighter can expose your natural lashes, lash extensions, and brows to heat and fumes. Not only can intense heat compromise your lash extension adhesive, but it can also singe or burn your lashes and brows – a scenario no one wants to experience!
To shield your lashes from being compromised by burns:
Maintain a Safe Distance: When dealing with grills or any heat source, avoid rushing the process. Give yourself ample time to prevent an excessive build-up of gas and heat.
Oven Safety: If you're opening a scorching oven, do it incrementally to avoid a rush of heat towards your lashes.
Mind the Blow Dryer: When blow-drying your hair, opt for a cooler setting, use a nozzle to control air direction, or flip your head upside down to prevent direct heat exposure to your lashes.
Remember to cleanse your extensions thoroughly after exposure to heat or fumes. These conditions may leave debris on your lashes, potentially harming your adhesive. A quick cleanse can work wonders!
Avoid Lash Tugging
With virtually maintenance-free lashes that feel natural, it's easy to forget you're wearing extensions. However, your lashes endure daily wear and tear, from rubbing your eyes with lash extensions to rolling in your sleep.
To prevent accidental lash mishaps:
Hands Off: Refrain from rubbing directly along your lash line. Be mindful of the urge to touch your eyes, especially in environments with allergens or airborne debris.
Protective Eyewear: In situations where irritants may be present in the air, consider wearing glasses, whether sunglasses, prescription eyeglasses, or safety glasses, to serve as a reminder not to touch your eyes.
For nighttime protection, consider using a 3D Contoured Sleep Mask.
Keep Your Lashes Free from Excess Moisture
While water and lashes coexist harmoniously, neglecting to clean your lashes after exposure to water, whether from swimming, sweating, or humidity, can weaken your lash adhesive prematurely.
After cleansing, always gently pat your lashes dry with a lint-free cloth. The type of cloth matters since the wrong one can snag your lashes.
Why Lash Extension Care Matters
Lash extensions naturally shed over time, alongside your natural lashes. However, this doesn't mean you should neglect lash care between fill appointments. Proper care ensures your extensions stay long, curled, and beautiful between fills. Neglecting care might cause your lash adhesive to lose its grip prematurely, resulting in lashes falling out sooner than expected and altering your lash line's appearance.
Prioritize Eyelash Extension Safety
We understand that accidents happen, and occasionally, a mishap may cause a few extensions to fall prematurely. That's why regular lash fill appointments (typically recommended every two weeks) are essential. A lash fill not only maintains your stunning lash line but also allows your lash stylist to address any accidents or mishaps. It's also an opportunity to receive expert advice on additional measures to safeguard your cherished lashes!
