Lash Aftercare
After Care is the most important thing you can do for your new investment. Mod Dolly wants your extensions to stay glossy, healthy, and attached to your natural lashes as long as possible, looking lovely all the way up until your next appointment. The following tips will help you to take the best care of your new lashes and preserve your life line (the adhesive) while keeping your natural lashes healthy and beautiful!
Avoid getting your lashes wet for 24 hours. Steaming, saunas, tanning beds, and working out/sweating heavily should be avoided for 24-36 hours after lash application to allow the adhesive to fully cure.
Avoid getting close to high heat (such as opening the oven/bbq or looking over boiling water). Dry high heat and/or lots of moist heat will affect the adhesive and the curl of the lashes. It can also singe the lashes!
Use caution when blow-drying hair. Extensive heat on lashes can distort the shape of the extensions. Please be gentle with your lashes.
Avoid rubbing, picking and/or pulling at your extensions and natural lashes. This can cause damage to your natural lashes.
Don't use oil-based and/or waterproof mascaras or eyeliners.
Mascara is not recommended for use as it will dissolve the bond of the adhesive with the lashes.
Avoid creams, eye makeup removers, lotions, sunscreens or cleansers containing oils on or near your eyelashes. Care must be taken to apply eye cream sparingly with avoidance of the lash line area.
Do not use Q-tips or Cotton Balls. The lint can snag your lash extensions and pull your natural lash out.
Do not use an eyelash curler on your extensionsIt is best to Let your lashes air dry naturally and then you can separate the lashes with a clean spoolie brush.
Fills are recommended every 2-3 weeks, to fill in the areas where the natural lashes have fallen out and new lashes are growing in.
Aftercare is super important, please do not skip these steps!
DON'T FORGET TO WASH YOUR LASHES EVERY NIGHT!
Please keep the eye area clean, this is very important. Some ladies love their lashes so much that they don't want to get them wet at all. However, avoiding proper cleansing of the eye area and extensions can result in an eye infection whether wearing eyelash extensions or not.
Try to sleep on your back to avoid crushing your extensions in the pillow (silk pillowcases are highly recommended).
The "golden rule" for wearing eyelash extensions is other than keeping them clean by washing, the less you touch them the longer they will last.
