4 Tips For Damage-Free Eyelash Extensions

Posted on: 28 March 2022

Eyelash extensions can make you look and feel more beautiful and put together. Darker, longer, more curled lashes often make eyes look bigger and can also save time when getting ready in the morning since you can skip the eye makeup. Sometimes new eyelash extension clients are worried about potential damage to their natural lashes. Luckily, damage can be avoided by following these simple eyelash extension tips: 

Stick to a More Natural Lash Look

One reason that some people experience damage to their lashes when they get lash extensions is that they opt for the heaviest, most dramatic-looking extensions. Really heavy and long eyelash extensions can weigh down your delicate natural lashes, eventually causing breakage and even lash loss. Instead, opt for lighter, more natural-looking extensions.

Take Care of Your Natural Lashes

The stronger your natural lashes are, the better they will be able to handle lash extensions. One great option is to use a lash serum to boost the growth of your natural lashes. Your lash artist will likely be able to recommend lash growth serums that are compatible with eyelash extensions.

Another way to keep your lashes healthy is to take supplements like collagen and biotin. Collagen usually comes in a flavorless powder form and can be mixed into coffee, smoothies, or even water. Biotin comes in capsule or gummy vitamin forms. As an added bonus, these supplements will also help your hair and nails to grow longer and stronger.

Learn How to Care for Your Lash Extensions

Be sure to follow the aftercare instructions from your lash artist because proper care of your extensions will help prevent damage to your natural lashes. It's important to avoid rubbing or pulling on your lash extensions since this can lead to the breakage of your natural lashes.

You should also gently clean your lashes with an oil-free cleanser to remove any sweat, skin care products, or dirt and prevent it from accumulating on your lash extensions. In some cases, your lash artist will sell lash cleansers specifically for this purpose.

Go to the Right Lash Artist

Finally, the most important way to avoid damage is to only get your eyelash extensions from an aesthetician who is specifically licensed to apply lashes. 

By choosing your lash stylist carefully and following these tips, you will get to enjoy beautiful eyelash extensions without the risk of damaging your natural eyelashes.
