Introduction
Hair and lash extensions have become a popular way to boost your look. Whether you’re looking for a quick solution or an all-out transformation, Here are all the tips and tricks you need to get started with extensions.
Avoid Using Oil Products Around Lash
- Avoid using oil products around the lash area. Oil products, such as serums and hair oils will cause your lashes to break off and will not hold a curl.
- Conditioning treatments are great for your hair, but they can also damage the bond between your extensions and natural lashes. Oil-based ingredients like coconut oil, olive oil, and other vegetable oils can separate the synthetic fibers from their roots by dissolving the extension glue that holds them in place. No matter how much you love these natural oils for conditioning purposes elsewhere on your body (and face), don’t use them near your eyes.

Don’t Brush the Lash
You should never brush your lashes. This can damage the hair and cause breakage. It’s also important to avoid applying mascara or hairspray, both of which could stick to the artificial fibers and compromise their durability. If you’re worried about your makeup smudging on the false eyelashes, use a gentle oil-based makeup remover instead of soap and water or makeup wipes, they’ll do less damage than chemicals in most beauty products or you can find a specific product to use for your eyelashes from lash extension supplier.
Finally, don’t use a hair dryer or curling iron over them after application (unless you have flat-ironed them already). The heat from these appliances will melt some of the glue holding everything together and make it fall out faster than normal; if you accidentally apply too much heat while styling your real lashes, just wait until they grow back before trying again.
Use a Loose Setting Spray
A setting spray is a great way to ensure your hair extensions stay in place all night. Use a product designed for use with extensions, not regular hairspray, especially when you have weave human hair extensions.
Most people have heard that applying a light misting of setting spray can help keep their hair looking good all day long. But what’s often overlooked is the fact that you don’t need to use hairspray at all, you can get the same effect with a different kind of product, like one made specifically for extensions and wigs.
Don’t Put Off Washing Your Hair
Washing your hair is one of the most important things you can do to maintain a healthy head of hair. It’s also one of the most common mistakes people make when it comes to their own personal beauty routine. How often should you wash your hair? The answer is: it depends.
For example, if you have fine and thinning hair, then washing it every day may be too much for it, it could cause shampoo buildup and lead to breakage over time. But if your scalp produces excess oil or sweat (AKA “sebum”), then daily washes will help keep that oil under control. On the other hand, if your scalp dries out easily or feels tight after blow-drying or styling products into your locks, then less frequent shampoos are probably best for you because they’ll leave more moisture behind on dry days and keep those strands soft and supple on busy ones
Use The Right Products
- Use the right products for your hair.
- Oil is not good for hair extensions. If you are like me and have curly/wavy hair, stay away from oils or other products that will weigh down your extensions. Use a lightweight conditioner with protein in it.
- Cream-based products are also not good for lash extensions. They will weigh down your lashes and cause them to fall out faster than if you were just wearing mascara alone. Do not use too many styling products on your lashes; this applies to both mascara and volumizing mousse/gel. Make sure when applying any type of product including hairspray that nothing gets into the eye area as this could cause irritation or even blindness if left there long enough.
Avoid Cream-Based Products
- Always use a lightweight serum instead of heavy cream or moisturizer.
- Use a shampoo and conditioner that is specifically designed for your hair type. Avoid using gel or wax as these can build up on the lashes and cause clumps, making them look unnatural.
- Avoid oil on your coloured lashes as it tends to weigh down eyelashes and make them look very greasy after application.
Comb Extensions Back Into Place
If you have extensions, be sure to use a wide-tooth comb to separate them from your natural hair. This will prevent damage and make it easier for you to put the extensions back into place at the end of the day. Next, gently place each extension back into its correct spot on your head. Repeat this until all of your extensions are in place again.
Conclusion
Now that you know about the different types of extensions, it’s time to start shopping. The best place to find extension products is online. If you want to buy from a brick-and-mortar store, make sure it has a good reputation for selling quality products at competitive prices. You can also look for deals around Black Friday and other holidays when businesses offer extra savings on their inventory.
