How to Care for Eyelash Extensions to Ensure Durability and Natural Look - Tips from Kasia, Professional Eyelash Stylist

Hello, I'm Kasia, and I've been doing eyelash extensions for several years. Throughout my career, I've learned how important it is to properly care for eyelash extensions, both for stylists and clients. I'd like to share my experience and a few tips that will help you avoid mistakes I made in the beginning.

1. The First 24 Hours - Crucial Time The first 24 hours after the procedure are absolutely critical for the longevity of the effect. My advice: Make sure your clients understand the importance of avoiding water and humidity contact with their lashes on the first day. Explain that the adhesive needs to fully dry and cure. You'll see the difference in how long the extensions last when clients follow this rule.

2. Maintaining Lash Hygiene Neglecting daily lash cleansing can lead to weakening and premature shedding. My advice: Always inform clients about the need for daily washing with a special lash shampoo or gentle cleanser. Removing dirt and makeup residues is essential for healthy lashes. My clients who wash their lashes regularly notice that their extensions last longer.

3. Avoiding Oily Products Oil-based cosmetics are the enemy of eyelash extensions. My advice: Insist that clients avoid products containing oils, including both creams and makeup removers. I personally use lightweight, oil-free products, and the results are impressive – lashes stay on much longer.

4. Handling Lashes with Care Being too rough with lashes can cause them to fall out quickly. My advice: Teach your clients to handle their lashes gently. Rubbing eyes or using a combination of products can lead to premature shedding. Clients who follow this advice enjoy naturally looking lashes for a longer period.

5. Regular Visits to the Stylist Regular lash refills are key to maintaining a long-lasting effect. My advice: Schedule your clients for regular visits every 2-3 weeks. This ensures that lashes always look flawless. Clients who stick to this schedule are always pleased with the results.

6. Proper Nighttime Care How we care for lashes at night greatly impacts their longevity. My advice: Recommend clients to sleep on their backs or use silk pillowcases. This helps reduce friction and pressure on lashes. When I started following these rules myself, I noticed a significant improvement in how long my extensions lasted.

7. Using Appropriate Cosmetic Products Choosing the right cosmetic products for lashes can work wonders. My advice: Recommend cosmetics specifically designed for eyelash extensions. Avoid waterproof mascaras and advise on easily removable mascaras. These simple changes really make a difference!

8. Prompt Response to Issues Promptly addressing any lash issues is crucial. My advice: Teach clients to immediately notify you of any problems such as irritation or redness. A professional approach to these situations helps prevent more serious problems. Always offer assistance and good advice.

Conclusion

By following these guidelines for caring for eyelash extensions, you and your clients can enjoy long-lasting and natural-looking effects. Remember, educating clients is as important as the techniques you use. The more you know, the better results you'll achieve.
