Eyelash extensions are a relatively new technology that have facilitated those people who were not keen on fake eyelashes nor with the struggle of putting on fake eyelashes every day in order to have long, luscious, fuller and better looking eyelashes.
Procedure
Generally, the length of time that long eyelash extensions can last is dependent on your lifestyle and after care. Factors such as weather (extreme coldness, heat or humidity), the number of times you swim and so on will affect the length of time.
After you have had your procedure and if you wish to have your eyelash extensions to last longer, there are eyelash extension after care steps and procedures you should adhere to. So what are you expected to do if you want your eyelash extensions to last longer and what are the important after care guidelines that you should follow?
• Avoid wetting your eyelashes for at least up to 24 hours after having eye lash extensions.
• Do not go for saunas (body steaming) for at least two days, as well as avoid hot shower streams hitting your eyes.
• Avoid wearing eyelash curlers as well as rubbing your eyes too much.
• If you have to use mascara, then apply it on your tips and not the base of your eyelashes and avoid waterproof mascaras.
• Avoid using any oil based makeup remover.
• Reduce frequent visits for saunas, hot springs or steam rooms since heat could weaken your eyelash extensions’ adhesive bonds.
• Go for touch up after every three weeks, depending on your eyelash growth cycle. If it is shorter, you need to go sooner and vice versa.
• Do not pull your new eyelashes, as this will weaken them or even remove the whole eyelash (including your natural eyelash).
• Another important after care tip is to ensure 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.
The above eyelash extension 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.
