How to safely remove eyelash extensions?
Why proper eyelash extension removal is important?
When eyelash extensions are applied correctly they should feel natural and be entirely comfortable. If they feel painful, heavy, or stiff, this could be a sign of improper application, such as lashes not being separated or too much adhesive being used. In some cases, extensions that are too heavy for your natural lashes can cause discomfort, feeling plastic-like or rigid.
For those who love a low-maintenance beauty routine, lash extensions are a fantastic option. Perfect for those early mornings or after a workout. Some people wear extensions year round, regularly getting infills, while others prefer them for special occasions or vacations. Once it’s time to remove them, there are a few options to consider.
It’s tempting to remove eyelash extensions at home, but this can damage your natural lashes. Pulling or tugging at the extensions can weaken or even break your lashes, leaving them sparse or damaged. Proper removal is important for the natural lashes to remain intact and healthy.
When to consider removing lash extensions
You may decide to remove your eyelash extensions if they are uncomfortable, if you’re taking a break from extensions, or simply when they’ve grown out and no longer look their best. Some people let the extensions fall out naturally, while others opt for professional removal to speed up the process.
The professional eyelash extension removal process
The best way to safely remove eyelash extensions is in the professional beauty salon. During the removal process, we apply a specialised remover in liquid, gel, or cream form to dissolve the adhesive holding the extensions. This process is safe for your natural lashes.
Here’s how the removal works.
You’ll keep your eyes closed while we apply the remover to the lash extensions.
The solution will sit for up to 3 minutes to break down the glue bonds.
We will then remove the extensions with tweezers.
Finally, your lashes will be cleaned and dried, leaving them fresh and ready for your next beauty treatment.
By booking a professional removal, you can make sure that your natural lashes stay healthy and strong, free from damage.
