How do I care for my Lash Extensions?Now that you have lash extensions, take note of these tips to maintain them with proper care fills your eyelashes can last indefinitely. Do not get your eyelashes wet for the first 24 hours. Do not lay flat on your face. Do not use a spa/sauna or pool for the the first 24 hours. The extensions need an amount of time to properly bond. Avoid pulling or rubbing your eyes. Do not use eyelash curlers with your extensions. WIth proper application you will not need them. ONLY use oil-free makeup remover. If your eyelashes are tangled or crossed over, use the spoolie given to you during your appointment to gently brush them straight and put them in place. You can purchse a longer life coating to extend the wear of your lash extensions in between fills. Proper hygiene is very important. Please keep lashes clean by regular washing. Use only mascara that are safe for eyelash extensions, no oil based or waterproof mascaras. After showering avoid rubbing lashes, its best to blot them with a towel and let them air dry. You can also dry the lashes by using a hair dryer on the cool setting and blowing them dry from the bottom up. It makes them curlier and fluffy. Use care when applying facial and eye creams to avoid the lash line. Too many oil based products can break down the adhesive.

How do I know if I'm allergic to Cyanoacrylate (Lash extension adhesive) ?Cyanoacrylate Allergy If someone is allergic to Cyanoacrylate, unfortunately, they won’t be able to have lash extensions done. That said most reactions/sensitisations are due to the vapours/odours coming off the Cyanoacrylate adhesive. The moisture in the eye naturally attracts the vapours and can cause sensitisation. This is why it is very important to have air movement at the point of application. Moving the vapours away from the client. Otherwise, vapours will fall back onto the face if not moved. They will fall particularly to the eye area due to the moisture. Also – less is more. Use the smallest amount of adhesive to create a bond. Any excess adhesive can cause sensitisation if it is not cured. As soon as the client opens their eyes if there is too much adhesive on the lash the vapours will be attracted to the moisture in the eyes and they can become sensitive. Always keep good air movement/ventilation around the client and lash technician. Always ensure the client sits up before opening their eyes. Always ensure the least amount of adhesive is used. Excess adhesive can cause sensitisation. Select the correct adhesive.
