When you need to achieve instant volume, eyelash extensions come to the rescue with all the variety of shapes, effects and decor options.
In this article, we will discuss the rules for caring for eyelash extensions, which are somehow related to water procedures, and we will try to figure out whether it is possible to wet the hairs immediately after the salon.
Is it possible to wet eyelash extensions immediately after the procedure?
The recent statement by the American chemist and leading consultant for fashion cosmetic brands Doug Sean literally shocked the whole world. You can wet your eyelashes after extensions!
According to the scientist, we should leave the superstitious relic of the past – the rule of not allowing eyelash extensions to come into contact with moisture for at least a day – far behind.
It’s all about improving the composition of the adhesive for artificial eyelashes. The updated formulation causes the substance to dry from the surface to the center, which automatically means that the hairs will not come off when washed, as they will be securely fixed.
However, washing eyelashes immediately after extension is not recommended. Lash makers advise clients to wait about five minutes for the product to finally polymerize on the bristles that were glued last.
After the specified period, the expert recommends that the masters treat the client’s extended hairs with a fixative (for example, a water-based nebulizer or an alcohol-based primer) or water (preferably distilled or boiled) so that the toxic fumes of cyanoacrylate, an integral part of the adhesive, do not provoke an allergy.
It is better to apply water or a fixative with a pipette. However, you can use the dispenser and immediately distribute the entire required volume of liquid along the ciliary row. After that, you will need to remove excess moisture with a napkin.
The first eyelash extension was performed at the beginning of the 20th century. Natural human hair was used as the material. But, an attempt to make the cilia more magnificent and longer was unsuccessful.
Be sure to allow a five-minute interval between attaching the last lash and washing. If you apply water or a fixer to wet glue, it will become covered with white crusts and make the eyelashes brittle.
The effect of the method was experimentally proven by masters around the world: the number of clients who developed allergies after eyelash extensions has noticeably decreased. Moreover, studies confirm that such manipulation does not affect the performance of artificial bristles in any way.
How to wash with lash extensions
In order to extend the life of synthetic hairs, you need to follow the following hygiene rules:
- Wash thoroughly but gently. Do not massage the upper eyelid too intensely.
- As a cleanser use micellar or boiled water. The latter must be allowed to brew in order to separate the precipitate in case of precipitation. It is strictly forbidden to wash eyelash extensions with tap water. Reacting with the adhesive, chlorine destroys its polymer structure.
- Avoid oil based creams base and oily lotions. It is allowed to use soft foam.
- Control the water temperature: too hot or cold destructively affects the adhesive.
- Don’t rub your lashes with a towel. Instead, they should be gently patted dry.
- Wait until completely dry eyelashes and only then comb them.
- Combing hairs, move from the place of fixation to the edges. If it is more convenient for you to close your eyes, move the brush from top to bottom. With open eyelashes, you need to act the other way around. Thus, you do not risk pulling out the bristles.

Can you cry with lash extensions?
As you know, human tears contain salts. However, in small quantities, it is not able to act as a solvent for adhesives. However, the idea should be abandoned for other reasons.
