Maintaining your lashes after a salon visit is just as important as your initial appointment. But what happens when you don\u2019t have access to your fairy lash godmothers for a little while? Here are some steps to take to nurture your eyelash extensions and natural lashes during this time.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You may have recently enjoyed a lash refill (or what we like to call a \u201clash therapy\u201d session!) If so, your lashes are still on the fuller side. You will want to be sure to protect your lashes by avoiding:<\/p>\n
Remember, clean lashes are happy lashes! Be sure to clean your lashes to avoid natural buildup that could affect retention.<\/p>\n
Did you know your lashes can enjoy extensions AND a growth or fortification serum at the same time? Yep! You can show your lashes even more love by introducing them to the neuLASH PROFESSIONAL\u2122 serum, available at the salon!<\/p>\n
This serum works to create longer, stronger and healthier lashes. You may use this product while you\u2019re sporting lash extensions and also when you\u2019re going au naturale. Imagine how happy your lash artist will be to see you with even more lashes to lash!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
What happens when it\u2019s been a couple of weeks since your last visit? You will notice your lashes are going through their natural cycle of shedding and growth. This cycle requires your natural eyelashes to release to make room for new little baby lashes!<\/p>\n

As your lashes shed, your look will not appear as full as you are used to. If you are unable to make it to the salon for your regular biweekly refills for a while, you may consider the possibility of removal. We offer that service at our salons and encourage you to come in if possible. But here are a few steps to follow if you wish to remove them at home.<\/p>\n
To begin removal, evaluate your lashes. Do they appear moderately full? If so, hold out a little longer. All eyelashes go through a cycle that naturally releases them. If your set appears less than 30% of the original set as in the picture above, you are a better candidate for manual removal.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There is reason that we warn against using oil\/alcohol\/glycerin-based products around lash extensions. They affect the bonds of the adhesive, resulting in premature shedding. While there are products that will do this unintentionally, natural oils are the best and safest for a home eyelash extension removal. Natural oils to consider for removal are:<\/p>\n
Apply the oil to your fingertips and apply to the lash line with a gentle massage in a circular motion. You may also apply to a mascara wand and comb through your lashes for deeper saturation.<\/p>\n
Let the oil sit for 3 to 5 minutes before gently sliding them off. Depending on a few factors, this process may need to be repeated until all the lash extensions are removed.<\/p>\n
While removing, do not yank or force the extension off of the natural lash. This could damage the natural integrity of your lash or remove your lash completely, prematurely.<\/p>\n
Complete this process by using our Lash Lounge Eyelash Foaming Cleanser to cleanse the area, then rinse with warm water and pat dry.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After your at-home eyelash extension removal, you will want to keep your lashes clean and healthy. Your natural lashes will miss their best friends. Continue to use neuLASH PROFESSIONAL\u2122 serum every night (on clean eyes) to help strengthen, revitalize and condition your lashes until they\u2019re reunited with their better halves! A few things to consider when keeping your lashes happy are:<\/p>\n
The extra TLC you show your natural lashes will benefit you when you are able to get back in the salon.
