Aftercare Instructions for Eyelash Extensions
1.    Initial Care (First 24-48 Hours):
    ◦    Avoid Water and Steam: Keep your lashes dry for the first 24-48 hours after application. This means avoiding showers, saunas, steam rooms, and swimming to allow the adhesive to fully cure.
    ◦    No Eye Makeup: Refrain from applying eye makeup, especially mascara, during this initial period to ensure the extensions set properly.
2.    Cleaning and Maintenance:
    ◦    Gentle Cleaning: Use a lash cleanser or a mild, oil-free makeup remover to clean your eyelids and lashes. Be gentle and avoid tugging or pulling on your lashes.
    ◦    Avoid Oil-Based Products: Steer clear of oil-based makeup removers and skincare products around the eyes, as oils can weaken the adhesive bond.
3.    Daily Care:
    ◦    Brushing: Gently brush your lashes with a clean, soft spoolie brush daily to keep them looking neat and to prevent tangling.
    ◦    Sleeping Position: Try to sleep on your back to avoid pressing your lashes against the pillow, which can lead to premature shedding or damage.
4.    Activity Restrictions:
    ◦    Be Cautious with Heat: Avoid exposure to high heat, such as from ovens or hair dryers, as it can weaken the adhesive and cause the extensions to fall off.
    ◦    Avoid Rubbing: Do not rub your eyes or lashes, as this can cause damage or loss of the extensions.
5.    Follow-Up and Maintenance:
    ◦    Regular Fills: Schedule regular touch-ups or fills every 2-3 weeks to maintain the fullness and appearance of your extensions.
    ◦    Consult Your Technician: If you experience any discomfort or notice extensions falling out excessively, consult your lash technician for advice.
