How to Care for Your Lash Extensions to Maximize Retention

Writer: thewinklabthewinklab

At The Wink Lab, we pride ourselves on offering expert lash services that keep your lashes looking flawless. Whether you’re enjoying our Wet Look, Hybrid, or Volume Eyelash sets, proper aftercare is essential to ensure your lash extensions remain beautiful and last as long as possible.



By following these simple steps, you can extend the life of your extensions and protect your natural lashes.


1. Keep Your Lashes Clean

Clean lashes are happy lashes! Wash your lashes 2 or 3 times per week using a lash-safe cleanser. Avoid oil-based products, as they can break down the adhesive and cause premature shedding. Instead, opt for a foam cleanser specially formulated for lash extensions. This will help remove dirt, makeup, and oils that can accumulate over time.

2. Brush Them Daily

Gently brushing your lashes with a clean spoolie every morning can prevent tangling and keep your extensions looking neat. At The Wink Lab, we provide a complimentary spoolie with every service, so you’re always prepared.

3. Avoid Rubbing or Pulling Your Lashes

Resist the urge to rub or pull at your lash extensions, as this can damage both the extensions and your natural lashes. If you experience any discomfort or an extension feels out of place, reach out to our team for a touch-up appointment.

4. Say No to Mascara

One of the best parts of having lash extensions is ditching mascara! Using mascara, especially waterproof formulas, can clump your extensions and make them harder to clean. If you feel the need for extra volume, consult with your lash artist about upgrading to a fuller set.

5. Sleep Smart

Sleeping on your back or using a silk or satin pillowcase can prevent unnecessary friction on your lashes. These materials are gentler on your extensions and can reduce the risk of them snagging while you sleep.

6. Schedule Regular Refills

At The Wink Lab, all refills take an hour and a half, ensuring we have enough time to remove outgrown lashes and replace them with fresh extensions. Refills are typically needed every two to three weeks to keep your lashes looking full and healthy.

7. Use Lash Boosters for Natural Lash Health

Products like Grande Lash or Lash Rescue can help maintain the health of your natural lashes, promoting strength and growth. These boosters are safe to use alongside your extensions and can enhance overall lash retention.
