Lash Care: How to Extend the Life of Your Extensions

At Sabes Lash Studio, we use high-end techniques and premium products to ensure your lashes look and feel incredible—but aftercare is just as important as the application itself. Proper lash maintenance extends retention, prevents damage, and keeps your lashes looking full and flawless between fills. Follow these expert aftercare tips to maximize the longevity of your lash extensions and maintain their fresh, weightless feel.

  • Why Lash Aftercare Matters

    Lash extensions are semi-permanent and require proper care to maintain their longevity. Without the right aftercare:
    • Lashes shed too quickly
    • Adhesive weakens, causing poor retention
    • Natural lashes become brittle or damaged

    With proper aftercare, you can extend the life of your lashes and maintain a fresh, full look between fills.

The First 24-48 Hours: Setting Your Lashes for Long-Term Retention

The first 24-48 hours after your lash appointment are crucial for retention. This is when the adhesive fully cures and bonds with your natural lashes.

Follow these guidelines immediately after your appointment:
Avoid water, steam, and sweat – No showers, saunas, pools, or heavy workouts.
Do not touch or rub your lashes – Let them set completely.

Daily Lash Care Routine

Follow these simple daily steps to maintain your lashes and prevent buildup:

Cleanse daily – Use lash shampp to remove debris and makeup.
Brush gently – Use a clean spoolie to fluff and separate lashes.
Avoid rubbing or pulling – Tugging weakens the bond and causes premature shedding.
Keep them dry after cleansing – Pat dry with a lint-free towel or use a fan.

What to Avoid for Maximum Retention

To keep your lash extensions looking flawless, avoid the following:

Mascara on extensions – It clumps lashes and weakens adhesive.
Lash curlers – They can break or bend extensions.
Sleeping on your face – This puts pressure on your lashes.
Skip oil-based products – They break down the adhesive.

When to Book a Fill

Lash extensions naturally shed as your lashes grow. To keep your set looking full, book a fill every 2-3 weeks.

Protect Your Investment

Your lash extensions are an investment in effortless beauty. By following these aftercare steps, you’ll extend the life of your lashes, protect your natural lashes, and keep your set looking flawless.
