Lash Aftercare 101: Tips That Actually Keep Your Extensions Gorgeous Longer

If you’ve invested in beautiful lash extensions in Tigard or Portland, proper aftercare is the key to making them last. While professional application matters, what you do at home can dramatically impact retention, fullness, and overall lash health.

Below, our Adornare Lash experts break down lash aftercare tips that truly work — no fluff, just results.

Why Lash Aftercare Matters

Lash extensions are bonded to your natural lashes, which means daily habits like cleansing, sleeping, and product use directly affect how long they last. With proper care, most clients enjoy fuller lashes for 2–3 weeks between fills.

Lash Extension Aftercare: Do’s & Don’ts

✅ DO: Clean Your Lashes Regularly

Contrary to popular belief, lashes should be cleaned.

• Use a lash-safe, oil-free cleanser

• Clean 3–5 times per week (daily if you wear makeup)

• Gently pat dry — never rub

❌ DON’T: Use Oil-Based Products

Oils break down lash adhesive faster.
Avoid:

• Oil cleansers

• Cream eyeshadows

• Heavy eye creams near the lash line

Sleeping & Lifestyle Tips for Longer-Lasting Lashes

• Sleep on your back or side, not face-down

• Use a silk or satin pillowcase

• Avoid steam, saunas, and hot yoga for the first 48 hours

• Brush lashes daily with a clean spoolie

When to Book a Lash Fill

Most clients return every 2–3 weeks depending on natural lash shedding. If lashes look sparse or twisted, it’s time for a fill — waiting too long may require a full set.
