There’s nothing quite like the confidence boost that comes from a fresh set of eyelash extensions. Whether you’ve opted for classic, hybrid or volume lashes proper aftercare is key to keeping your lashes looking full, fluffy, and fabulous between refill appointments.
At A SpLash of Confidence, we’re all about helping you look and feel your best—every day, not just lash day! Here’s your ultimate guide to eyelash extension aftercare and how to maintain your lashes between refills.
✨Why Aftercare Matters
Lash extensions are delicate, and they live on your natural lashes—which go through a natural growth cycle. With the right care, you can extend the life of
your set, reduce shedding, and show up to your refill appointment with your lashes still looking lush.
💦 The First 24-48 Hours: Handle with Care
The first couple of days are crucial to ensure your lashes bond properly. Here’s what to do (and what to avoid!):
Keep lashes dry: Avoid water, steam, or sweat for the first 24–48 hours. That means no saunas, hot yoga, or steamy showers!
Avoid touching or rubbing: Let your lashes settle without interference.
No makeup or products around the eyes: Especially oil-based products that can break down the adhesive.

🧼 Daily Care for Dreamy Lashes
Yes, you need to clean your lashes! Many people think avoiding water altogether will preserve their set, but the opposite is true. Dirt, oil, and makeup residue can weaken your lash bond and lead to premature shedding.
Here’s how to keep your lashes clean and happy:
Cleanse daily with a gentle, oil-free lash cleanser and a soft brush.
Pat dry—never rub! A soft towel or air-drying is best.
Brush with a spoolie to keep your lashes fluffy and in place. Do this when they’re dry!
🚫 What to Avoid Between Refills
To keep your lashes looking their best:
❌ Avoid mascara—especially waterproof! It’s hard to remove and can damage your extensions.
❌ Skip the oil-based makeup removers and creams near your eyes.
❌ Don’t use eyelash curlers. Your extensions are curled to perfection already!
📅 Scheduling Refills
To maintain that full, fresh look, you’ll want to book a refill every 2–3 weeks. During this time, we’ll remove outgrown lashes and apply new ones to keep your lash line looking seamless and fabulous.
If you wait too long (over 3-4 weeks), you may need a full new set—which takes longer and costs more. So keep those refill appointments regular!
💖 Bonus Tip: Pre-book your refill before you leave your appointment to guarantee your spot!
👑 Lash Confidence, Every Day
Eyelash extensions are more than just a beauty treatment—they’re a time-saver, a confidence booster, and a daily reminder that you deserve to feel your best. With proper aftercare and regular refills, you can keep your lashes looking salon-fresh every single day.
