Best Practices for Caring for Natural Lashes With Extensions

by Troy Barker

Lash extensions have become a popular beauty trend for those looking to enhance their natural lashes. But without proper care and maintenance, these extensions can lead to damaged and weakened natural lashes. As a lash professional, you must educate your clients on best practices for caring for their natural lashes with extensions.

Keeping Them Clean

Dirty lashes can lead to a host of problems, including eye infections and weakened natural lashes. Encourage your clients to clean their lash extensions daily with a gentle, oil-free cleanser and a brush designed specifically for lash extensions. This will remove any buildup of makeup, oils, and debris that can accumulate throughout the day.

Recognizing the Power of Lash Serum

Lash serums, like the Borboleta lash serum from the Lash and Beauty Store, are important for optimal lash health. Borboleta’s lash serum is formulated with nourishing peptides and vitamins to strengthen and protect natural lashes, promoting healthier and longer-lasting extensions. By applying a lash serum each night, clients can give their natural lashes the boost they need to support those extensions.

Avoiding Contact

One of the most critical practices for caring for natural lashes with extensions is keeping those hands off. Touching or pulling at lash extensions can cause them to become loose or even fall out. Remind your clients to resist the urge to touch or play with their lashes and avoid using eyelash curlers on extensions.

Scheduling Regular Refills

Keeping those extensions looking lush requires a little TLC and routine maintenance. Regular refills, ideally every two to four weeks, keeps the lashes looking full and fresh. Plus, it helps prevent any damage to the natural lashes from overgrowth or the weight of old extensions.

By following these best practices for caring for natural lashes with extensions, your clients can enjoy beautiful, healthy lashes for longer. And as a lash professional, you can be confident in the quality and longevity of your work.
