Are lash extensions damaging? Let’s compare!
Do you curl your lashes, wear waterproof mascara/strip lashes and scrub them off each night? In this case, lash extensions will be lighter on your natural lashes. You can also stop using a lash curler and strong makeup remover, which helps natural lashes grow healthier!

Swipe left to see how a month of wearing lash extensions and taking a break from your regular lash routine can help your natural lashes grow longer and stronger.

Even though your lashes may appear clean, please still cleanse them everyday with lash cleanser + water! When zoomed in, there’s actually a build up of oils, sweat and makeup. This will loosen the extension bonds, cause poor retention and is extra weight for your natural lashes to hold.

Lash Retention Tip
Wash your lash brush at least once a week with soap 🧼
For extra cleanliness, use soap + air dry + spray brush with 70% alcohol.
Whenever you brush your lashes, small amounts of natural oils, makeup, and debris stick on to your brush. The cleaner your brush is, the healthier and longer lasting your lashes become clean

You also get a new lash brush at each appointment. For more lash retention tips, visit www.lashcottage.com/lash-care
