Customized Lash Flares Maintenance & Care Instructions

GlamBlock's Customized Eyelash Flares last up to two weeks, reliant on the maintenance and upkeep of your lashes. The following guidelines were established to enjoy the greatest longevity of your lashes.

  • No Moist Heat- no steam rooms, facials with heavy steam, steamy showers, etc. Excessive time in a steam room on a continuous basis will prematurely loosen your lashes.

  • No Direct Contact with your Lashes- Don’t sleep on your face, avoid heavy winds (sunglasses may help prevent the effects of strong winds).  Avoid touching your lashes; the less contact you have with your lashes, the longer they may last.

  • Avoid Touching and Rubbing your Eyes- Wash gently around your eyes. Use a cotton swab and a little eye makeup remover to take off eye makeup.  Try to avoid wetting your lashes.

  • Avoid Direct Water Contact- Try to avoid getting your lashes wet.  This includes activities such as swimming, sweating, and tear production.  Please be aware that water activity will re-wet the adhesive and may cause slight burning. 

As your natural lashes go through its expectancy cycle, the falsies will fall- off sparingly.  You may notice the inner or outer corner lashes are the first lashes to loosen.  Use your Lash Wand to blend your natural lashes with the falsies.  You may also use mascara to create a desired effect.  Please be aware, that any mascara used will remain on the lashes until they fall off completely or are removed.  Mascara should ONLY be used once for the duration of that application. 

DO NOT pull your lashes.  The falsies will fall off naturally.  If you would like to remove the lashes yourself, the safest way to do it follows:

  • Rub petroleum jelly (Vaseline) on your lashes and let them sit for about 20 minutes.  Try to avoid getting petroleum jelly in your eyes.  When the lashes have loosened, they should easily slide off. 

Eyelash Extensions Procedure Preparation

To fully optimize your application of lash extensions, please adhere to the following preparation guidelines:

24 hours prior to your appointment:

  • Gently cleanse your eyelashes with baby shampoo

  • Do not apply mascara or any other products on your lashes or the eye area (this includes eyelids & under-eye)

  • Avoid eyelash curling

  • Avoid oil-based facial products

Just before your appointment:

  • Shower prior to your appointment (do not apply make-up, face cream, or sunblock)

  • Wear comfortable clothing

  • Remove your contacts

  • Limit caffeine intake (caffeine can cause your eyelids to flutter; resulting in fewer lashes applied)

  • Turn off your cell phone

Eyelash Extensions After Care & Maintenance

Aftercare Instructions: First 24 hours

  • Do not plan on wearing any mascara or getting your lashes wet for 24 hours after eyelash application.  Also, do not swim, shower, use a hot tub, steam room or sauna for 24 hours. The adhesive takes a full 24 hours to fully cure.
  • Make sure you do not sleep on your lashes the first night.  If you can prop your head so you lashes are not pushed on during your first night’s sleep, your lashes will last much longer.

Aftercare Instructions:  General

  • Avoid any cosmetic product or cleanser containing glycols, organic solvents, urea, carbonate or high concentrations of alcohol.  Products with these ingredients can potentially break down the adhesive bond and shorten the lifespan of the extensions.
  • Use only water-soluble mascara that does not contain the above-mentioned ingredients and never use waterproof mascara.  Please note that repeated use of mascara might shorten the lifespan of the lash extensions.
  • Curling of lash extensions is not recommended.  Because the extensions come pre-curled, additional curling is not necessary and doing so may shorten the lifespan of the extensions by compromising the adhesive bond.
  • Avoid pulling, picking or twisting your lash extensions.  This can cause damage to your natural lashes and lead to premature shedding of your extensions.
  • Use a lash wand to fluff your extensions to reduce tangling and flipping every morning and evening.
  • Return for touch-ups every two - three weeks to keep your lashes looking their best!
