How to Make Lash Extensions Last Longer: Tips from Beauty Experts

If you've fallen in love with the convenience and glam of lash extensions, you know how important it is to keep them looking flawless for as long as possible. Proper aftercare doesn’t just preserve your lashes—it saves you time, money, and effort.

Here’s how to make your lash extensions last longer:

1. Avoid Water and Steam for the First 24–48 Hours

Lash adhesive needs time to fully cure. Exposure to moisture too early can weaken the bond and cause premature fall-out.

2. Sleep on Your Back

Rubbing your lashes against your pillow while sleeping on your side or stomach can damage the curl and cause fallout. A silk pillowcase can also help reduce friction.

3. Clean Your Lashes Regularly

Use a lash-safe cleanser to remove oils, debris, and makeup residue. This keeps your lashes hygienic and improves retention.

4. Skip Oil-Based Products

Oil breaks down lash glue. Avoid oil-based eye creams, cleansers, or makeup removers around your lash line.

5. Brush Your Lashes Daily

Use a clean spoolie to gently brush and fluff your lashes, keeping them tangle-free and in shape.

With consistent care, your lashes can stay full, fluttery, and fabulous for weeks.
