As the spooky season just wrapped up, here’s a few lash habits that you should probably ghost. Give your lashes the proper TLC they deserve! Some common habits can shorten the life of your extensions, weaken the adhesive, or even damage your natural lashes. To make sure your extensions stay beautiful for as long as possible, it’s time to ghost these bad lash habits!
1. Wearing Mascara on Your Extensions
Why It’s a Habit to Ghost: Lash extensions are designed to look full and beautiful all on their own, so no mascara is needed! Applying mascara, especially on volume or hybrid extensions, can cause clumping and weaken the adhesive, making your lashes more likely to shed prematurely.
The Better Habit: Let your extensions work their magic on their own. Embrace the effortless beauty they give you, no mascara required!
2. Skipping Lash Cleanses
Why It’s a Habit to Ghost: Just like the rest of your face, lashes need regular cleaning to remove dirt, oil, and any product buildup. Skipping lash washes can lead to buildup on the lash line, which isn’t just unhealthy—it can make your extensions look dull and messy.
The Better Habit: Clean your lashes every 2-3 days with an oil-free cleanser designed for extensions. Clean lashes are happy (and long-lasting) lashes!
3. Picking at Your Extensions
Why It’s a Habit to Ghost: It might be tempting to pick or play with your lashes, especially if they feel a little out of place. But this can damage the adhesive, cause lashes to fall out, and even weaken your natural lashes over time.
The Better Habit: Resist the urge to touch! If something doesn’t look right, let your lash artist handle it at your next appointment.
4. Not Pre-Booking Your Fills
Why It’s a Habit to Ghost: Extensions naturally shed along with your natural lash cycle, so if you skip fills or wait too long, you’ll be left with gaps that can affect the look of your lashes.
The Better Habit: Schedule your fills in advance to keep your lashes looking full and fresh. Most clients find that booking every 2–3 weeks is ideal for maintaining their look.
5. Forgetting to Relax During Appointments
Why It’s a Habit to Ghost: Your lash appointment should be a relaxing, pampering experience.
The Better Habit: Lay back, relax, and trust your lash artist to work their magic. This is your time to unwind!
6. Curling Your Extensions
Why It’s a Habit to Ghost: Lash extensions already come perfectly curled, so there’s no need for additional curling! Using a lash curler on extensions can cause breakage and weaken the adhesive.
The Better Habit: Enjoy the ready-to-go curl of your extensions and skip the lash curler!
