Taking care of your cluster lashes properly will extend their life and keep your natural lashes healthy. Here's how to maintain your cluster lashes:
Cleaning Your Cluster Lashes
- Wait 24 Hours: Avoid getting your lashes wet for the first 24 hours after application to allow the adhesive to fully set.
- Gentle Cleaning: After 24 hours, you can gently clean your cluster lashes.
- Use Oil-Free Products: Opt for an oil-free makeup remover or a specialized lash cleaner like Velour Lash Cleanor. Oil-based products can break down the lash adhesive.
- Application: Apply the cleaning solution to a lash brush, such as the spoolie on the Velour Too Clean Lash Wand.
- Combing Technique: Gently comb through the lash clusters from base to tip to remove makeup, debris, and oil buildup. Avoid harsh rubbing or pulling.
General Maintenance Tips
- Avoid Mascara: While tempting, applying mascara to your cluster lashes can make them clumpy and difficult to clean, shortening their lifespan.
- Be Gentle: Avoid rubbing your eyes vigorously, as this can damage the lashes and cause them to fall out prematurely.
- Sleeping: Try to sleep on your back to prevent crushing or distorting the lashes. Alternatively, use a silk pillowcase to minimize friction.
- Avoid Heat: Excessive heat from hair dryers or saunas can weaken the adhesive bond.
- Proper Removal: When it's time to remove your cluster lashes, use a lash adhesive remover specifically designed for the adhesive you used. Gently dissolve the glue before removing the clusters to prevent damage to your natural lashes.
- Storage: If you plan to reuse your cluster lashes, clean them thoroughly and store them in their original packaging or a lash case to maintain their shape.
By following these care tips, you can keep your cluster lashes looking beautiful and extend their wear, all while protecting the health of your natural lashes.
