Lash extensions can make anyone feel instantly glamorous, but maintaining that fresh and full look can be a challenge. Many people notice their extensions looking sparse and uneven within a couple of weeks. With some trial and error, a few key secrets have been discovered to keep lash extensions looking perfect between appointments. This blog will reveal these top five secrets to help maintain beautiful lash extensions for as long as possible.
How to Make Lashes Last Longer?
The fact that you get the most out of your lashes by taking good care of them is no accident. We’re going to share five foolproof eyelash extension care tips. Many people find their extensions looking sparse and uneven within a couple of weeks, but with the right care, you can maintain that fresh and full look.
Why Don’t My Lashes Last?
As your natural lashes fall out, so will your lash extensions. If you take care of your extensions properly, you will only need to purchase lash refills every two weeks to replace the few extensions that have fallen out. You may notice that your extensions fall off more quickly if you use oil-based cleaners on them, get them wet too soon after application, and so on.
It is important to know how to care for eyelash extensions properly to ensure that they last and don’t fall out.

To keep your lashes secure and clean, we recommend oil-free cleaners. Combine this lash shampoo with our Lash Cleanser Brush. It helps to eliminate any buildup of skin, makeup, or sweat from your lash line. Our salons sell our Collagen + EFG Lashampoo and Lash Cleanser Brush.
You’ll want to brush your lashes each morning, along with cleaning them daily. Why brush your lashes in the morning? Your lashes may tangle while you sleep and fall to one side. The secret is to gently fluff and brush them. Try using one pump of our lash shampoo on the tip of the brush with some warm water and gently brushing down and outward from the lash line. Remember not to scrub or apply excessive pressure using the brush at the lash line.

Here’s a breakdown of our recommended lash extensions care process:

2. Be Gentle on Your Lashes
If you want to make your eyelash extensions last longer, try not to mess with them. Avoid rubbing, pulling, or plucking your lashes when you are wearing lash extensions. You could damage your extensions if you pull or tug on your lash line too much. It can also cause oils to get in contact with the adhesive and damage it.
You may experience itching near your lash line from time to time. There are several ways to relieve the itching without rubbing your lashes or pulling them. You can use a mascara wand as a simple trick to gently brush your lashes. If you have to touch your extensions, then a gentle circular rub of your eyelid is fine.
3. Use a Protective Lash Sealant
You should invest in a protective lash sealing agent if you have lash extensions. It’s one of our favorite eyelash extension hacks because the lash sealant can extend the life expectancy of the adhesive used to attach your extension to the natural lash. It keeps your extensions in place longer. It is important to choose a lash sealant that will seal your lashes safely and seamlessly.
The lash sealant will help you prolong the life of your extensions and improve retention between fills. After getting your extensions, a lash sealing product should be next on your priority list.
4. Never Miss Refills – Like Ever
Keep up with your lash fill appointments. Your refill should be scheduled every two weeks. This is the only way to maintain a full lash line. Your stylist will do maintenance on your existing set and add new extensions to give it renewed fullness. Regular refills will give you a lush, full lash line and that fresh, new look.
If you do not keep up with the regular refills, your stylist may need to add even more extensions to restore that fullness. You may need to upgrade your service. It’s definitely possible! When you book, let us know if you need extra lash care. We will book the time you need to restore your lashes to their full, fab look.
5. Use Only Lash Extension-Friendly Products
It’s worth repeating: Not all beauty products can be used with lash extensions. Avoid waterproof mascara, cosmetics containing alcohol or oil, and all other similar products. This includes eye moisturizers that contain oil.
