Get the most from your next refill, with our Dubai lash experts sharing their secrets to long-lasting volume eyelash extensions.

 

Be guided by your lash stylist

Our lash professionals will be able to recommend the eyelash weight and curl that’s perfect for you during your appointment at our Dubai lash studio. With important factors including your natural lash curl, density and eye shape, each client is individually assessed to make sure you get the lash style that you want.

In addition, your lash stylist will walk you through the all-important aftercare for the next day – with advice including to avoiding wetting your eyes for the first 24 hours to allow the glue to set, avoiding sweaty gym or sauna sessions, and sleeping on your back to avoid kinks and bends.

 

Handle with care

Resist the urge to touch, stroke or pat your lashes for at least the first 24 hours after application. In addition to potentially pulling off an extension or the natural lash it’s attached to, your fingertips can leave oily residue that doesn’t play well with the bonding glue used. As your lashes naturally shed, avoid tugging or pulling them out – it’s best to let them fall away in their own time.

Introduce a routine

Treat your fresh lash extensions to some extra TLC to ensure they will last as long as possible. Used a dedicated lash and eyelid cleanser at night to remove oil and daily debris, paired with a soft cleansing brush to gently buff the eye area.

To keep them tidy, carefully and delicately separate your lashes using a spoolie brush, lightly combing through them once a day to prevent tangles. Make sure not to overbrush by rolling the spoolie over the top of your lashes, rather than combing through the undersides.

Double check your make-up bag

While eye make-up isn’t usually needed with volume lash extensions, make sure to only choose extension-friendly mascara if you do want that extra impact. Waterproof mascara is a no-go, as are alcohol-based products. Use a tailored eye make-up remover that’s approved for extensions to take off your mascara and eye-make-up, avoiding tugging or pulling at your lashes as you cleanse.

Your skincare routine may need a quick tweak too. Moisturisers and serums that include oils such as jojoba and rosehip can transfer over to the eye area, dissolving the bonding on your lashes. Avoid using these near your eyes or substitute them entirely for oil-free and lash-safe skincare products instead.
