Pr3tty Lashes & More 

Don't: Get them wet or go into a steamy room for the first 24 hours to allow the adhesive to fully bond and dry.

 

Do: Use a blow dryer on a very low cool setting and blow-dry your lashes upwards if you do get them wet.

 

Don't: Use an oil-based makeup remover. (The oil will break down and dissolve the adhesive causing the lashes to fall off.)

 

Do: Use oil-free makeup, removing wipes to remove eye makeup.

 

Don't: Pull out an outgrown lash! Trying to pull the extension off can cause your natural lash to come out resulting gaps/spaces.

 

Do: Use a clean mascara wand to brush (inital brush is supplied at your first appt for free) your lashes upward, and let the natural lash cycle shed, as it normally would every four to six weeks.

 

Don't: Let your lash specialist use "cluster lashes" (a knot of lashes, usually performed at nail salons), because they can place a lot of stress on your natural lash and resemble clumpy mascara. Plus, most of those inexpensive options use hair glue as an adhesive and these can result in natural lash or eye damage.

 

Do: Let your lash specialist bond one individual lash extensions to one of your own natural lashes. This will give you the most natural look and help to maintain the integrity of your own lashes.

 

Don't: Go to just any lash salon!

 

Do: Get a recommendation and make sure they are certified, like Pr3tty Lashes. Most likely you will know someone who has their lashes done, and if you couldn't tell your friends had them, that's a good thing!

 

I provide an eyelash extensions guide post service, as well as educate you on care of your lashes... I can answer almost all the basic questions you might be having about eye lash extensions.

 

Eyelash extensions are the best way of having longer, fuller and natural looking eyelashes. However, they need to be taken good care of. 

 

Eyelash extensions has helped people who did not like fake eyelash strips or the struggle of putting on fake eyelashes everyday to have long, luscious, fuller and better looking eyelashes.

 

The exact or recommended fill duration varies, I recommend coming for an eyelash fill after 2-3 weeks just to replace those, which have fallen off naturally in the case of an eyelash that has grown old and fallen, and a new one has grown or the adhesive bond has been weakened.

 

Generally, how long eyelash extensions last is dependent on your lifestyle and after care. Things like weathers (extreme coldness, heat or humidity), the amount of makeup you wear, your cleansing habits, number of times you swim and so on will affect duration. Let me, your Lash technician, advice you after how long you can you go for a refill after elaborating to me on your lifestyle.

 

I hope this answers your concern on how long these extensions will last.

Advantages   of   Eyelash   Extensions –

Pros   and   Benefits

 

When you compare lash extensions to fake eyelashes, they have a number of advantages. You need to start enjoying these benefits too. Some of these pros, which have seen an increase in demand for eye lash extension, include the following:

1. They require no regular maintenance once you have them as compared to other types of eyelash makeup, which will require you to apply them daily. You need only to follow the eye lash extensions after care that I provide to you. This makes them ideal for busy moms, girls who love to not have to spend time applying eye makeup, brides, for special events, etc.

2. The second benefit of eye lash extensions is that you do not need to use mascara or curl your eyelashes if they are well done and they are ideal for ladies who cannot wear mascara for one or the other reason.

3. No more streaking or running of mascara, especially if you do not use a good waterproof mascara, which runs and streaks less

4. They are weightless and they look very natural.

5. They can be used by people who wear contact lenses and you can conduct your day as usual i.e. go swimming, to saunas, shower, working out or whatever without falling off.

6. Finally, on their benefit, they last for a long time. You would need to refill them after 2-4 weeks if you maintain them well. They can indeed last longer if you take good care of them.

 

 

Eyelash   Extensions  

After   Care

 

After you have had your lashes applied you want your eyelash extensions to last for long. These after care steps and procedures you should adhere to... This will further give you answers to how long do they last.

Please read the important after care guidelines that I recommend you follow.

​

1. Avoid wetting your eyelashes for 24 hours after going for eye lash extensions.

2. Do not go for saunas (body steaming) for at least two days as well as avoid hot shower streams hitting your eyes.

3. Avoid wearing mascara, avoid eyelash curlers as well as rubbing your eyes too much.

4. If you have to use mascara, use the product I recommend, then apply it on your tips and not the base of your eyelashes and avoid waterproof mascaras. 

5. Avoid using any oil based makeup remover, oil near lash lids.

6. Reduced frequent visits for saunas, hot springs or steam rooms since heat could weaken your eyelash extensions adhesive bonds.

7. Go for touch up after every 2-3 weeks, depending on your eyelash growth cycle. If it is shorter, you need to go sooner and vice versa.

8. Do not pull on them, as this will weaken them or even remove the whole eyelash (including your natural eyelash).

9. Another important after care tip is ensuring you maintain normal eye hygiene. It is normal to fall into the temptation of not wanting to clean your eye area since you do not want to wet your eyelashes. Using a small micro fiber Q-tip is recommended.

 

The above eyelash extensions after care guidelines are very important if you want to have your eye lash extensions last longer. However, if you ignore the above eye lash extensions after care guidelines, nothing bad will happen, except for the fact that your eyelash extensions will not last long, or if you pull them/persnally try to remove you may have lash damage.

Lash   Extension   Removal

You went for lash extensions, but you no longer need them.. what do you do? Can you remove them on your own using an oil based eye makeup remover? Please understand that this process is not as easy as in the case of removing fake or false eyelash strips.

 

1. If you want to remove eyelash extensions, it is highly recommended you go for an expert. There is the temptation of trying to remove eyelashes extensions on your own. This might turn futile if you do not follow the correct procedure as high-grade surgical glues, which can withstand sweating, water or soap, are normally used bond them. If you try to remove them on your own, you risk damaging your natural eyelashes. This is why you need to ensure you remove eyelash extension properly by a professional. I understand there are many suggestions on the internet on how to remove eylash extensions at home or home removal remedies, among many others. My advice is coming to me, a certified technician that can ensure you observe the following precautions:

2. Do not try to forcefully remove or pluck your eyelashes. This can cause breakage or removal of your natural lashes. In fact, this is one of the reasons, why you should not remove them on your own.

3. Avoid rubbing your eyelashes so much in attempt to remove them using the various recommended home eyelashes extension removal remedies.

4. In case you have pinpricking pain, which could be due, some of your eyelashes sticking together during the process of applying them; go to a professional to help you separate them.
