How To Wear Eyelash Extensions Correctly?
Wearing an eyelash extension perfectly can be tricky and it’s important for avoiding the risks. So, you should know the correct process before applying.
Before all, trim the extensions according to your actual eyelid. You can use the extra portion, at your eye’s outer corner for more volume or when you just want to highlight the outer corner of your natural lashes.
Now, carefully apply the lash glue to the extensions and stick it to your eyelid immediately. This is the toughest part to set the extension onto the lash line perfectly. If you place a mirror under your face almost to a vertical angle, you will be better able to see exactly where to locate the strips. Use a tweezer or fingers to place the strips.
For the last step, wait 30-40 seconds and then apply your eyeliner from the inner corner where the strip band begins. This will help you to hide the line of the band and give you an attractive natural look.

What To Do After Wearing Lash Extensions?
Be careful about some things after wearing eyelashes unless it can damage your natural lashes.
Don’t Rub Your Eyes:
Many have a bad habit of rubbing their eyes frequently. This is irritating and disturbing at the same time. You should avoid this while wearing lash extensions because-

- misplace the lash band
- blend the eyeliner all over your eyes
- let the dirt and unhygienic particles get into your eyes

Don’t Pull The Extensions:
Pulling eyelashes is also a bad habit. As the extensions stick to their place with the help of glue, they will fall down if you pull them. Your natural lashes can fall down also with the extensions.

Step: 2- Try to take a hot shower or steam. A hot shower also helps to loosen the lash extensions from your natural lashes. But remember not to pick, pluck, rub or pull your lash extensions while taking shower.
Step: 3- After the shower, apply an oil-based cleanser. This will help to dissolve the glue gradually without harming your natural lashes. But it won’t happen instantly, you may use it a few times more to loosen your lash extensions.
OR,
Use a professional lash glue dissolver. If your eyelid area is sensitive, a lash glue dissolver is the best option for you. Soak a cotton pad with remover and rub gently through the lash line. This will loosen the glue bond and your lash extensions will fall down gradually. But, make sure that the dissolver is not going into your eyes or it can cause irritation and rashes to your eyes.
Step: 4- The last step is the post-removal care of your eyelashes. After removing the extensions your eyelid deserves extra attention. Use an eye massage cream to relax your eyes and control dark circles.
