To ensure your lashes last long you must take good care of them. Don’t worry it is very low maintenance! It is recommended not to wear any mascara on your lashes. If you want to wear mascara you should purchase mascara specifically made for semi permanent eyelash extensions. Using normal mascara will shorten the life span of the lashes. It is very important not to use eyelash curlers whiles wearing the eyelash extensions as this can ruin your own lashes. Depending on what brand of glue is used to attach your eyelash extensions it is also recommended not to use any oil based products around the eyes. Using oil-based products loosens the glue and this will make the lashes fall off prematurely. Always ask your technician if you have to avoid oil based products around your eyes so you no the correct way to look after your lashes. The most important thing you must remember is not to get your eyes wet for 24 hours after your lashes have been applied. Although you are leaving with the lashes attached it takes 24 hours for the glue to set so please remember not to get your eyes wet during this time.
