If you’ve ever woken up and loved the ease of already-perfect lashes, you know why lash extensions are one of the most popular beauty services today. They add instant drama, enhance your natural eyes, and save you precious time in the morning. But here’s the truth: how long your lash extensions last depends just as much on aftercare as it does on the application.
At Jennaura – The Beauty Barn, we want your lashes to stay full, fluttery, and fabulous for as long as possible. Here’s everything you need to know about keeping them at their best.
1. Keep Them Clean and Oil-Free
The biggest mistake people make is not cleaning their lash extensions. Dirt, natural oils, and makeup residue can break down the adhesive and cause premature shedding.
- Use a lash-safe foaming cleanser at least once a day.
- Avoid oil-based products around your eyes (including makeup removers and creams).
- Pat dry gently—no rubbing.
Pro tip: At Jennaura, we stock lash-safe cleansers designed specifically for extensions, so you can maintain salon-quality care at home.
2. Hands Off!
It’s tempting to touch, play with, or brush through your lashes constantly—but the more you touch them, the faster they’ll shed.
- Don’t pull or tug at extensions.
- Avoid sleeping face-down on your pillow.
- Try using a silk pillowcase to reduce friction.
Think of your extensions as delicate jewelry—you want to keep them safe and protected.
3. Brush Daily (But Gently)
Invest in a clean spoolie brush and give your lashes a quick comb-through every morning. This keeps them neat, separated, and prevents tangling. Just make sure to brush lightly from the middle to the tips, never from the root.
4. Schedule Regular Refills
Even with the best care, lash extensions naturally shed as your real lashes grow out. Most clients need a refill every 2–3 weeks to maintain a full look. Waiting too long between fills means you’ll need a brand-new set, which is more costly.
At Jennaura, we recommend pre-booking your refill appointments to keep your lashes looking flawless without interruption.
5. Pair Lashes with the Right Products
Did you know the products you use can make or break your extensions? Oil-based eyeliners, mascaras, and heavy creams are a big no. Instead, use water-based formulas that won’t weaken the adhesive.
We carry a curated range of lash-safe eyeliners, mascaras, and cleansers in our Jennaura product collection, so you can glam up without the risk of damage.
