Eyelash Extensions Aftercare

Eyelash Extensions Aftercare Information

It is just as important to look after your lash extensions as it is for your Lash Artist to prepare your lashes prior to application. You have not just spent your hard-earned money but also your precious time having beautiful eyelash extensions applied. So why is it important to follow the Eyelash Extensions Aftercare that your lash artist has given you?

  1. You will have better lash retention and spend less time in the salon having your lashes applied
  2. Your lashes will look beautiful for longer
  3. Your natural lashes will not suffer and remain healthy

So whatย Eyelash Extensions Aftercare should you follow?ย 

We have put together some important advice for you to follow, however, do make sure you follow the advice of your lash artist as well, as they after all know your lashes the best.

What youย SHOULD be doing:

DO be gentle around your eyes, donโ€™t rub or pick at your extensions as this may damage the natural lashes

DOย use a mascara wand, these are great for grooming your lashes each day

DO gently wash daily with eyelash cleanser, keeping the root area clean. The most recommended eyelash cleansers are BL Lashes Shampoo Cleanser, as well as the Chrissanthie Eye Cleanseโ„ข Foam Eyelid Cleanser with Tea Tree.

What you SHOULDNโ€™T be doing:

DO NOT use oil-based mascara on your extensions as they contain chemical properties that will break down the adhesive, instead use BL Lashes (BLINK) Noir Mascara For Eyelash Extensions and the BL Lashes (BLINK) Coating Sealants. These products not only increase bonding strength, extending the life of the lashes but also leaves a lovely glossy finish

Directions

Step 1: Gently massage the cleanser into the lashes in small circular motions using your Cleansing Sponge

Lash extensionย aftercare products you should stock

We have a list of essential products you need to provide at your salon for a five-star lash aftercare service. Providing these specialized products at your salon can help your clients to extend the beauty of eyelash extensions AND bring you extra income. Ready? Here we go!

Lash bath foam cleanser

Dirty lashes = a Costly business! Why?ย There are a couple of problems with dirty lashes.

First, even if the lash clients don’t wear makeup, a build-up of dead skin cells and oily secretions creates a condition for bacteria to grow.ย It will not only affect the extensions to look clumped up but potentiallyย cause infection,ย which can lead to more permanent damage like losing natural lashes.

Second, if your clients don’t clean their lashes, it can make your filling appointment much longer since youย will have to spend so much time cleansing and fixing the growing problem properly.ย If the filling appointment is as long as the full set appointment, it can also affect your business.

To clean natural and extended eyelashes thoroughly, you need to use the right product. In essence,ย BL Lashes Shampoo Cleanser,ย for example, is a botanically infused oil-free lash cleanser with effective but very gentle on sensitive eye areas.

In its ingredients, you can find Zanthoxylum, a Fruit extract thatย stimulates cell regeneration, and Pasque Flower, aย super-effective antibacterial agent, all the qualities you need to make eyelash extensions stay in place, clean and healthy

Lash cleansing brush

Offer your clients a handy high-quality Lash Cleansing Brushย to help with proper lash extension aftercare!

A lash cleansing brush will reach deep in between natural lashes and wipe away impurities at the base of the lash extensions from every angle. Also, the soft bristles of the lash cleansing brush are extra gentle around sensitive eye areas.

Clients may be tempted to use cotton pads or even a face towel to clean lashes; however,ย lint or fiber in these materials can easily catch the extensions and remove extensions prematurely!

Make sure to educate your clients on this info and provide them with a handy lash cleansing brush. At BL, we offerย Lash foam with a cleansing brushย as a set at the most competitive price.

Oil-Free Makeup Remover

The oil-based makeup remover is the worst enemy of eyelash extensions as it breakdown the extension adhesive.ย With that in mind, theย BL Lip & Eye Make-Up Remover is formulated without oil to gently remove eye makeup residue in a single swab without affecting the lash extensions.

Lash Coating Sealants

Theย BL Black Diamond Coating Sealant helps prolong the life of eyelash extensions by acting as aย protective layer for the adhesive and extensions.ย Its conditioning ingredients will help to strengthen natural eyelashes whileย protectingย the lash extensions from sweat, dust, water, and debris that may affect the adhesive.

Lash Growth Serum

No fluffy set of lash extensions can be done if there isย not enoughย natural lash to attach lash extensions on.

There’s only so much you can do as a lash artist to the lash clients with thin, brittle lashes.ย Instead of turning away these clients,ย educate your clients to invest in their natural lashesย first,ย Lash Growth Serum builds a good solid foundation for the voluminous lash extensions.ย 

Do Lash Growth Serumsย actually work?ย They sure do!ย The leading cause of natural eyelash problems is losing elasticity. In this sense,ย theย Lash Growth Serumย acts by providing nutrients that help strengthen the hair follicleย in which each natural eyelash originates.

Within just four weeks of using theย MD Lash Growth Serum,ย there will be considerable changes in the length, texture, and growth of natural eyelashes, giving your lash extensions the strong base they need to look AMAZING.

 

You might say: “But, I am a lash tech, not a salesperson.”

Or at least that’s what you think.ย As you know, eyelash extension clients require more than the application of eyelash extensions.ย Your clientsย also need all the aftercareย tips to retainย the beautiful look and feel for a long period.

The best technique to increase your sales while creating that special relationship with your customers is HONESTY.

Explain to your client step-by-step instructions on how to use each product and the importance of WHY each step of aftercare is important for long-lasting extensions.

Let them know you are there to support them even after the application, and you wouldย only recommend products you really believeย in helping the well-being of their lashes.
