Will eyelash extensions damage my natural lashes?When applied correctly by a professional, eyelash extensions should not damage your natural lashes. Proper care is essential, including avoiding rubbing your eyes and using oil-free products around your lashes.
-
How do I clean my eyelash extensions?Gently cleanse your lashes daily with a lash-safe cleanser and a soft brush. Avoid oil-based products, as they can break down the adhesive and cause your extensions to fall out prematurely.

Can I remove eyelash extensions myself?It’s best to have them professionally removed to avoid damaging your natural lashes. Attempting to remove them at home can cause breakage or pulling of your lashes.

Can I wear contact lenses with eyelash extensions?Yes, you can wear contact lenses with eyelash extensions. However, it's recommended to remove them during the application process to avoid irritation.
-
How do I sleep with eyelash extensions?To protect your extensions, try to sleep on your back if possible. If you're a side or stomach sleeper, consider using a silk or satin pillowcase, as it’s gentler on lashes and helps reduce friction.
-
Can I curl my eyelash extensions?No, you shouldn’t curl your eyelash extensions. They are pre curled, and using an eyelash curler can break or damage them. If you want a specific curl, let your lash technician know during your appointment.
-
Are eyelash extensions waterproof?Once the adhesive has set (after 24-48 hours), eyelash extensions are water-resistant, allowing you to shower, swim, and exercise without worrying about them falling off.
-
Does it hurt to get eyelash extensions?No, the application of eyelash extensions should be painless and relaxing. If you feel discomfort during the process, let your lash technician know immediately, as this could indicate improper application.
-
Can I get eyelash extensions if I have sensitive eyes?If you have sensitive eyes, it’s essential to inform your technician before the application. They may use hypoallergenic glue and recommend a patch test to ensure you won’t have an adverse reaction.
-
How do I care for my eyelash extensions after getting them done?Avoid touching or rubbing your eyes, and refrain from using oil based products near your lashes. Gently brush your lashes daily with a clean spoolie to keep them looking neat, and cleanse them regularly with a lash safe cleanser.
-
Can I apply eyeliner with eyelash extensions?Yes, but it’s best to use a water-based or gel eyeliner, as oil-based products can weaken the adhesive. Avoid heavy or waterproof formulas that can be difficult to remove without affecting the extensions.
-
What should I do if my extensions start to fall out prematurely?Premature shedding can occur if the lashes weren’t properly cared for or if you’ve been exposed to too much moisture, like steam or oil. If this happens, schedule a fill with your technician to restore your lashes.
-
Are there different types of eyelash extensions?Yes, extensions vary in thickness, length, and curl type, allowing for a customised look to suit your preferences and natural lashes.
