Who doesn’t like those long, curled, and feathery eyelashes? They are truly the dream of every girl. From using thick layers of mascara to using eyelash curlers, women have tried every trick in the book to get their dream eyelashes that flutter delicately on their eyes when they blink. That search for the perfect lashes ended, with the invention of eyelash extensions. A dream come true, eyelash extensions are placed delicately one at a time on separate lashes with the help of sky glue to give them a defined and natural look.

We are sure any girl must be very excited and a little bit nervous about getting those eyelash extensions she has so dearly wanted. That is why we have listed a few pointers on what things to avoid on the day you get them. These pointers will help you in relaxing and get the best out of this treatment!

1. Unclean eyes
The first and the most important one is to wash the eyes to clear them of any dust particles or remnants of makeup. Feeling the need to rub your eyes in the middle of the session or immediately afterward can cause even the best eyelash extension glue to go faulty. Therefore, to get the best out of your appointment, make sure to wash your eyes and hydrate them if needed with water or eye drops before you sit down for the procedure.

2. Wearing contacts
Another important reminder is to avoid wearing contacts for the duration of the procedure and for some time after. It’s because every person who wears contacts is aware that they can be tricky to handle sometimes. Even the slightest disturbance in them can cause the eyes to waterand that is something you would like to avoid on the day you get eyelash extensions.

3. Make-up
It’s best to be devoid of any makeup during the time you are getting your eyelashes done. Make-up can interfere with the process of keeping the extensions in place because extension glue like sky glue requires completely clean hands and environment for the job to be done effectively.

4. Don’t wear uncomfortable clothes
A must for any appointment that requires sitting or laying down for around a couple of hours. Itchy clothes or short clothes that you might feel the need to adjust constantly are not advisable. The purpose of eyelash extensions is for you to pamper yourself in your me time. There is no point in being uncomfortable during that time, therefore wear comfortable clothes, even your pajamas are fine. Don’t worry, there’ll be no judgments!

5. Don’t go in unprepared
When we say don’t go unprepared, we mean be prepared with the kind of look that you desire. Due to the versatile nature of eyelash extensions, it always comes in handy to tell the lash artist the look you want by showing her the reference pictures. It will also help them to treat your lashes accordingly and provide the result you desire.

6. Don’t forget to visit the loo
This one is very important. ALWAYS visit the loo before sitting down for the treatment. That is because even the best eyelash extension glue will be dry in a couple of minutes which is then useless for extensions and time-consuming to come off from the real ones. So, if you need to go to the washroom during the procedure, it may prove to be detrimental.

We hope we were useful with these tips! Stay tuned for many more of them.
