Keeping your lash extensions looking flawless requires the right care routine. From proper cleansing to avoiding habits that can weaken retention, small daily steps make a big difference. At Glow Up Studio Dallas, we’re here to help you extend the life of your lashes with expert-approved techniques and high-quality products. In this blog, we’ll cover essential dos and don’ts to ensure your lashes stay full, fluffy, and long-lasting between appointments.

Dos for Lash Care

1. Clean Your Lashes Properly

Keeping your lashes clean is critical for extension retention and eye health. Use a lash-safe cleanser like our Lash Lovers Lash & Brow Foaming Cleanser to remove oil, dirt, and makeup. Regular lash baths prevent buildup that can weaken adhesive bonds and encourage better lash retention.

2. Brush Daily

Gently brushing your lashes daily with a clean lash brush keeps them neat and prevents tangling. This simple step also helps maintain your extensions' shape and avoids strain on natural lashes.

3. Schedule Lash Baths Before Fills

A clean lash line ensures the adhesive bonds effectively during refills. Use lash baths as part of your pre-fill routine to maximize retention and prevent unnecessary shedding.

4. Hydrate & Protect Your Lashes

Environmental factors like dry air, exposure to heat, and lack of proper hydration can weaken your natural lashes and affect the adhesive bond. Use a lash serum like fan favorite BL Lashes MD Advanced Growth Serum to keep them hydrated and strong.  Use our BL Lashes Black Diamond Coating Sealant to keep lashes protected from dirt, oil, and makeup.

5. Promote Longevity with a Humidifier

Combat dry indoor air by using a humidifier and aiming for approximately 50%-60% humidity to create a moisture-balanced environment. You can measure this with a hygrometer, which is a handy tool for checking humidity levels. This balance helps prevent your lashes from becoming brittle and ensures your lash adhesive lasts longer. 

Don’t have a hygrometer? No problem! Here are a few ways to gauge your space: If your home or office feels like a sauna, it’s too humid. On the flip side, if the winter air has your hair standing on end with static, it’s too dry. Try to find a comfortable middle ground where your space feels fresh and balanced, not overly damp or parched.

Don’ts for Lash Care

1. Avoid Oil-Based Products

Oil can break down lash adhesive, leading to premature shedding. Switch to oil-free makeup removers, cleansers, and skincare products.

2. Skip Waterproof Mascara

Using mascara on lash extensions—especially waterproof formulas—can cause clumping and weaken adhesive bonds. With extensions, there’s no need for mascara; your lashes already steal the show!

3. Minimize Heat Exposure

Avoid exposing your lashes to direct heat sources like saunas, hot showers, or blow-dryers aimed at your face. Heat can weaken the adhesive and cause your extensions to fall out faster.

4. Don’t Rub or Pull

Rubbing your eyes or pulling on extensions can damage your natural lashes and compromise retention. Pat your eyes dry gently after washing your face, and avoid tugging.

5. Don’t Delay Refills

Skipping refill appointments can result in uneven lashes or unnecessary shedding. Book your lash fills every 2–3 weeks to keep them flawless.
