Everything you’ve been wondering about lash extensions.

💬 Do lash extensions cause damage to natural lashes?

When applied correctly by an experienced and educated artist, eyelash extensions do not damage your natural lashes. Proper application ensures each extension is attached to a single natural lash—without excess weight or strain.

Damage only occurs if extensions are applied improperly or if aftercare instructions (like avoiding pulling or rubbing) are not followed.

The main risk associated with lash extensions is rare allergic reactions to lash glue, which tend to occur more often with long-term clients than first-timers.

💬 Do lash extensions only last a few weeks?

Lash extensions can last up to 6 weeks, but retention depends on your natural lash cycle, aftercare, and lifestyle. To maintain fullness, refills are recommended every 2–3 weeks.

As your natural lashes grow, the extensions shift and place weight further along the lash. Refills help avoid twisting, discomfort, and damage from weight misdistribution.

We naturally lose 3–5 lashes per day:

~21 lashes in 1 week

~42 lashes in 2 weeks

~63 lashes in 3 weeks

💬 Do lash extensions hurt?

No—lash extensions should never be painful.

Pain or discomfort often comes from “stickies,” where two or more lashes are improperly stuck together due to poor isolation.

After ~3 weeks, grown-out lashes can twist and become uncomfortable if not refilled. Regular maintenance prevents this.

💬 Do lash extensions need to be cared for?

Yes. Aftercare is essential for maintaining lash health and extension longevity.

Neglecting care can lead to lash loss, buildup, and poor retention.

Simple aftercare = long-lasting, flawless lashes.

Proper care:

  • Prevents premature shedding

  • Reduces irritation and infections

  • Keeps lashes looking fresh longer

💬 How to Wash Your Lashes

  1. Prep Your Cleanser

    Use a lash-safe cleanser. Dispense 1 pump onto your hand or lid. Pick up with a cleansing brush.

  2. Apply Gently

    Work the cleanser through the lashes using a lash brush or spoolie, massaging into the lash line.

  3. Rinse Thoroughly

    Use cool or lukewarm water to rinse away all residue to avoid build-up and retention issues.

  4. Pat Dry

    Use a clean towel or tissue. Gently pat—no rubbing or back-and-forth motion.

💬 Lash Extension Hot Tips

Gentle Brushing

Use a clean spoolie daily to keep lashes fluffy, neat, and tangle-free.

Avoid Oil-Based Products

Oil breaks down adhesive. Stick to oil-free makeup and skincare.

Sleeping Smart

Sleep on your back or use a silk pillowcase if you’re a side sleeper to reduce friction.

Regular Refills

Book infills every 2 to 3 weeks to keep your lash line full and healthy.
