Brushing your lashes properly is one of the important secrets to keeping your eyelash extensions looking as good as new. After getting eyelash extensions at Rachel Beauty Bar , you need to understand the basic care techniques – especially the correct way to brush your lashes – to help your lashes stay curled, tangle-free and reduce eyelash loss.

1. Benefits of Applying Eyelash Extensions Correctly

Maintain natural curl and shape After a while, eyelash extensions can become tangled or stuck together. Brushing your lashes regularly helps to loosen the lashes, maintaining their original curl and shape.
Reduce loss of natural lashes and extensions When lashes are tangled, stretching or rubbing your eyes can easily cause both natural and false lashes to fall out. Brushing properly helps reduce stress on the base of the lashes.
Prevents bacteria build-up, reducing the risk of eye infections. Sticky or improperly cleaned lashes are an ideal environment for bacteria to grow. Brushing lashes helps clean dirt, keeping the eye area clear.
Helps lashes look softer and more natural. Lashes that are brushed in the right direction will not be ruffled or messy, creating a fluffy effect that is more harmonious with the eye shape.

2. How to Brush Eyelash Extensions Correctly at Rachel Beauty Bar Spa Instructions

a. Brush from root to tip

The most common way. Use a mascara wand to gently brush from the base to the tip in the direction of eyelash growth. Be careful not to touch the base of the lashes to avoid breaking your real lashes.

b. Brush from tip to root

This method is suitable when the eyelashes are tangled or the fan of eyelashes is not evenly spread. Use the brush to gently sweep from the tip down to the base of the eyelashes, helping the fan of eyelashes to be light and in shape.

c. Zigzag brushing

Move the brush in a zigzag motion from the middle of the lashes outwards. This method is suitable for volume or angel lashes, helping to increase volume and clean dust particles stuck to the lashes.

3. Some Notes on Eyelash Care After Extensions

Do not expose to water for the first 24 hours after eyelash extensions to allow the eyelash glue enough time to dry completely.
Avoid using oil-based makeup removers. Oil can cause the eyelash extension glue to lose its adhesion.
Avoid rubbing your eyes and stretching the skin around your eyes.
Nourish real eyelashes with serum. Increase the health of real eyelashes to help eyelash extensions last longer.
Use a light mist to moisturize the eye area without affecting the lashes.
