LASH EXTENSION PREP AND AFTERCARE

LASH EXTENSION PREP AND AFTERCARE

With the help of one of our lash extensions specialists we’ve put together a quick list of prep and aftercare tips to help your lashes last longer and look fresh until your next fill!


PREPARE FOR YOUR LASH EXTENSIONS

Longer lasting lashes begin with the right lash extension prep.

  1. Make sure you go to your appointment make-up free, especially no mascara
  2. Wear comfy clothes and take a pair of headphones–lash extensions appointments can take up to a couple of hours so let it be a time to relax!
  3. Be sure to tell your specialist about any specific skin sensitivities or allergies


AFTERCARE FOR YOUR LASH EXTENSIONS

How to keep those lashes beautiful between visits.

  1. Avoid any makeup or makeup removers that are oil-based
  2. Brush through your lashes with a soft lash brush every day and whenever they get tangled
  3. Wash your lashes daily with lash shampoo to prevent buildup–this keeps the lashes clean and makes them last longer (FYI, Ottalaus salon carries its very own lash extension care kit that includes shampoo, a brush, lash treatment–for longer lasting lashes–and a portable fan)
  4. Avoid picking or rubbing your lashes
  5. Invest in a satin or silk pillowcase that won’t catch on your lashes (these are great for your hair too)
  6. Many people are under the impression that you can’t get your lashes wet for 24 hours after application, which isn’t true, yay! The humidity from the shower or washing your face can actually help the glue adhere better. However, avoiding excessive heat like from a sauna or hot tub for the first 24 hours is recommended
  7. Prebook your fills every 1-3 weeks (as recommended by your specialist) to avoid the risk of not getting in when you need to!

Utah's dry winter air can wreak havoc on your hair, leaving it brittle and lifeless. To combat this, prioritize moisture with regular deep conditioning treatments and hydrating products like scalp serums. Minimize washing to preserve natural oils and protect your hair from the cold by wearing hats and scarves.

A voluminous blowout is a timeless hairstyle that can elevate your look. With the right techniques and products, you can achieve salon-quality results at home. Start by double shampooing your hair and applying a heat protectant, hair oil, mousse, smoothing cream, and texturizing spray. Next, rough-dry your hair to 85% dry. Then, use a round brush to style your hair in sections, paying attention to the direction of the curl. Finally, set your style with hairspray and gently shake out your curls for a voluminous, effortless finish.

Summer sun and activities can damage hair, but you can keep your hair (and extensions) healthy. Avoid sunscreens with Avobenzone, which can discolor hair extensions. Opt for mineral-based sunscreens with Zinc Oxide and apply carefully to minimize contact with extensions. Chlorine can damage extensions. Pre-treat hair with masks and consider regular salon treatments for deep conditioning if you must swim with extensions. Frequent swimmers may want to take a break from extensions to avoid long-term damage.
