Why leave the house without brushing your lashes, when you wouldn't leave without brushing your hair? Eyelash extensions are the same as human hair on the head. Brushing plays an important role in maintaining the eyelash extension design and improving the ability to maintain eyelash extension. It also helps with eyelash and eye health, which many Lash extension lovers tend to overlook.

This blog will tell you everything you need to know about brushing your eyelashes for healthy extensions, including the correct method and precautions to take.

 

Reasons why you should brush your lashes

Preventing Lashes from getting tangled

Eyelash extensions are basically longer than one’s lashes, so it’s easy for them to get tangled. Also, as time passes by after getting your eyelash extensions, eyelashes with different growth cycles grow at different speeds and fall out.

If you leave your eyelashes unattended at this time, they can get tangled and can ruin the eyelash design. To prevent this, it's good to carry a brush and comb your tangled eyelashes neatly.

Eyelash Health

If you don't brush regularly, makeup residue is easy to clump up. These clumped residues make it easy for bacteria to reproduce and there is a high risk of eye diseases.

To keep your eyelashes and eyes healthy, you should always wash your lashes and hair roots thoroughly with a lash shampoo and brush to avoid clumping.

Improves the Retention of the Eyelash Extensions

It is equally important to maintain your lash extensions for a long time if you are spending your hard-earned money to get them extended beautifully. Brushing plays a much more important role in making them last longer.

If the eyelashes are tangled or clumped, the design is easier to get damaged, and the damaged eyelash design reduces the extension retention. In addition, if you feel uncomfortable with your lash extensions, you may unconsciously touch them often with your hands, which can impact the lash adhesion and hence reduce the retention. So if you want to increase the retention of the lash extensions, then brushing your lashes is mandatory.

 

The most asked questions about brushing Lash Extensions

After getting your lash extensions done, you might be curious about how to take good care of them. Brushing is one of the steps which you can follow to maintain your lashes. So we have tried to answer all your questions in this blog!

When can I start brushing my eyelash extensions?

Frequent brushing during or immediately after the lash extension application is not recommended.

How Often Should You Brush Your Lashes?

It is difficult to say how many times you should brush your lashes. If possible, it is best to carry a brush with you and comb it whenever the extensions are messy. If that's too cumbersome and you can't afford it, you should at least brush after washing your face in the morning and evening.

Should you brush your eyelash extensions when wet?

Don't wait for your eyelashes to dry when they are twisted. Brush them neatly and let them dry. This is because if the false lashes dry while they are still twisted, the twisting of the false lashes worsens, and the retention of the eyelash extension decreases.
