Me: Hey you! Yes you! Do you have lash extensions??
I’m imagining you saying “Oh why yes Erin, I do! And I absolutely love them because Kelsie and Chelsea are glorious demigods sent down from the lash heavens!”
Me: Do you wash them regularly with an oil free, lash safe cleanser?
You: “Uh yeah…I know she told me to do that. I definitely do. All the time.”
Me: If you’re lying to me you better knock it off right now! You must wash your lashes!! I can 100% GUARANTEE that your lash artist has instructed you to do so, and it’s just that – an instruction, not a suggestion!
Where do eyelashes come from? – Hair follicles.
Where are those hair follicles? – Eyelids.
What are eyelids made of? – Skin.
What does skin do naturally? – Shed.
How does the shed skin get cleaned up? – By washing it away.
It’s really that simple! If you didn’t have lash extensions, would you never wash your eyes? No! That sounds silly doesn’t it! If your hairdresser spends 2 hours on your hair are you going to not wash it until the next time you see them?? No! Way silly! You have to eliminate the dead skin from your lash line just as you have to do it on your head and your entire body!
Hair follicles can get clogged, which will affect your natural lash growth. Less happy natural lashes = less to attach fluffy extensions to.
YOU MUST WASH YOUR LASHES!!!
Get it yet? Ok good.
We have a lash specific cleanser available here, Minkys Lashampoo Foam Cleanser. This is what the girls use to clean your lashes when you come in for a fill. All the ingredients are safe for your extensions. If you’re using another product, just make sure you’ve checked with your artist to make sure the ingredients won’t affect the glue and you’ll be good to go!
