Why Your Lashes Aren’t Lasting as Long as Expected: Tips to Improve Longevity
Achieving long-lasting lashes can sometimes feel tricky, especially when they don’t stay put as expected. But don’t worry! With proper application and care, you can extend the life of your lashes. Here are some common factors affecting your lash longevity and what you can do to improve it.
1. Link Application
Applying the right amount of Lashsly Link is crucial. Use a small amount at the base of your natural lashes or along the lash spine. Too much or too little can affect the hold, so aim for balance to create a secure connection. You can also swipe a little Link on your cluster lashes to get a stronger hold !
2. Proper Prep
Cleanliness matters! Ensure your lashes are thoroughly cleaned with an oil-free cleanser before applying extensions. Dirt, oil, or makeup residue can weaken the bond. Always wait until your lashes are completely dry before starting.
3. Avoid Oil-Based Products
Oil-based cleansers, moisturizers, or makeup can break down the adhesive, reducing lash longevity. Steer clear of these products, especially around the eye area, to preserve the Link.
4. Oily Skin
Excessive oil around the eye area can affect how long the lashes last. If you have oily skin, blot or cleanse the area gently throughout the day to reduce oil buildup.
5. Lashsly Lock
Using Lashsly Lock can enhance the longevity of your lashes by securing the Link. If you’re not using one, consider adding it to your routine to lock in your lash extensions for a longer hold.
6. Water Exposure
While most lashes are water-resistant, avoiding excessive water exposure is best—especially within the first 12 hours after application. This allows the Link to dry completely for maximum hold. If your lashes get wet, pat dry them immediately with a dry towel.
7. Proper Placement
The position of your lashes matters! Ensure they are applied about 1–2 mm away from your waterline. This prevents moisture from affecting the adhesive and helps them last longer.
8. Minimize Touching
As tempting as it may be, avoid touching your lashes throughout the day. Excessive handling can transfer oils, dirt, and moisture, weakening the adhesive and reducing Lashsly’s lifespan.
9. Application Technique
