Hey beauties! πββοΈ Welcome back to my glam corner! Today, we're diving into one of my absolute faves: eyelash extensions! π But before we go all out with those fabulous lashes, let's talk about something super important β prepping those natural beauties! π
You know I'm all about making sure we slay while keeping our natural lashes healthy and happy, so here are some of the best practices to get those peepers ready for those stunning lash extensions! π
1οΈβ£ Cleanse like a Queen π: Clean lashes are happy lashes! Before your lash appointment, make sure you gently cleanse your natural lashes with a lash-friendly cleanser. This will remove any oil, dirt, or makeup residue, ensuring a flawless base for those extensions to bond to. Clean lashes = longer-lasting extensions, babes! π
2οΈβ£ Nourish and Hydrate πΏπ§: Want your lashes to be in their prime condition? Treat them with some TLC! Using a lash serum or lash growth conditioner regularly will keep your lashes strong and lush. Hydrated lashes are more flexible and less prone to breakage, which means they'll be able to handle those gorgeous extensions like a pro! π
3οΈβ£ Bye-Bye Mascara π: As much as we love our mascaras, it's time to part ways before the extension adventure. Wearing mascara before your appointment can leave residue and make it harder for the adhesive to do its magic. Let your lashes breathe and show them some love by going au naturel for a few days. Trust me, it'll be worth it! π ββοΈ
4οΈβ£ Lash Trim? No Thanks! βοΈ: You might think giving your lashes a little trim before getting extensions is a good idea, but hold on, lovely! Lash artists prefer working with your natural lashes at their full length. Trimming can lead to uneven results and make it harder to attach the extensions properly. So, hands off those scissors! πβοΈ
5οΈβ£ Patch Test for Safety π§ͺ: Safety first, always! If you're trying out a new lash studio or adhesive, ask for a patch test. This little test will ensure you don't have any allergic reactions to the adhesive. It's just a small step to keep those peepers safe and sound, and trust me, it's totally worth the extra effort! π
6οΈβ£ Communicate with Your Lash Artist π£οΈ: Your lash artist is your BFF on this lash journey! Don't hesitate to communicate your preferences, concerns, and any questions you may have. They are the experts and will guide you through the process with ease. Together, you'll create the lash look of your dreams! ππ
Alright, lovelies, you're all set to rock those eyelash extensions like the queens you are! Remember, prepping those natural lashes is the key to long-lasting, luscious extensions that will have everyone turning heads! π
