To maintain optimum
appearance and extend the life of your lashes, follow these
tips & easy care instructions:
Avoid getting your lashes wet
within the first 24 hours to allow the adhesive time to dry
thoroughly.
We recommend sleeping on your back the first night to
ensure your lashes do not become tangled while drying. In
the morning, use a mascara brush to gently separate and
groom your Xtreme Lashes.
Avoid hot steam from the shower and sauna as well as
swimming and tanning salons altogether for the first 48
hours. After this period try to keep sauna, steam room
& tanning visits to a minimum as the application of
constant heat may cause the adhesive bond to weaken.
Avoid using harsh mechanical eyelash curlers as they can
break both natural and synthetic lashes. A Heated Eyelash
Curler can be used sparingly to help shape and curl lashes
on the TIPS of the lashes ONLY. Do not apply heated eyelash
curler to the base of the lashes where the lashes are
bonded.
Avoid using any oil based cleansers on or near the eye
area. Instead, use a water or gel cleanser such as the
Xtreme Lashes Eye Makeup Remover and a sponge tipped
applicator lint free cloth to gently remove makeup from
around the eye. Do not use cotton balls, cotton rounds or
swabs directly on the eyelashes as the fibers may get
lodged in the bond area of your Xtreme Lashes.
Ask your Eyelash Professional if he or she carriers Xtreme
Lashes Protective Coating. After the first 24 hours, you
can apply Protective Coating once or twice per week to your
new lashes to preserve the look and extend the life of your
Xtreme Lashes. Follow the instructions on the product label
for best results.
Although mascara is not necessary with your Xtreme Lashes
you can use it sparingly, on the tips only, to achieve an
even more dramatic look. We strongly recommend using one of
the Xtreme Lashes Mascaras which have been specially
formulated for use with lash extensions. Follow the
instructions outlined on the Xtreme Lashes Mascaras labels
for best results. Avoid using oil based or waterproof
mascara as the ingredients in it will dissolve the bond of
the adhesive.
Avoid using any oil based products on or near your lashes.
Oil will dissolve the adhesive bond! Use water or gel based
cosmetic products instead.
Avoid Chemical Peels, Alpha Hydroxy, Beta Hydroxy and other
highly acidic substances while wearing Xtreme Lashes
Eyelash Extensions. These substances will dissolve the
adhesive bond.
Above all, be gentle! Do not pick or pull
your Xtreme Lashes and refrain from excessively rubbing
your eyes.
When applied and maintained properly, your Xtreme
Lashes can last up to 2 months depending on the natural
growth cycle of your eyelashes and how well you maintain
them. The life cycle of an eyelash is 60 to 90 days. Lashes
will shed naturally at the end of their life cycle and
relashes (fill ins) will be necessary every 2 to 4 weeks to
replace the fallen lashes.
24hr Tips:
Remember that the first 24 hours are especially crucial for
the bonding to properly occur! Common activities you need
to avoid during the first 24 hours include showering,
washing the eyes, tanning, applying creams or lotions to
the eye area, applying mascara or any eye makeup,
excessively touching the lashes, spas, saunas, steam rooms,
swimming, exercising, contact lens solutions and sleeping
on the lashes.
Daily Tips: The most common causes of
Xtreme Lashes falling out before the end of your natural
lash life cycle include excessively touching the lashes,
use of oil based products, layering on excessive amounts of
mascara which requires excessive cleansing, and frequent
exposure to heat sources such as spas, steam rooms and
tanning salons.
