Why you need to clean your lashes

If you’ve dived into the fabulous world of lash extensions, you’ve probably experienced the thrill of waking up with perfectly curled, fluttery lashes. But did you know that keeping those lashes looking their best requires a little more than just the occasional touch-up? That's right! Just as you would care for your skin or hair, your lash extensions need clean and loving attention. So let’s chat about why cleaning your lashes is super important and how it can keep your lash game strong.

First off, let’s talk about what happens when you don’t clean your lashes. Dust, makeup residue, and natural oils can build up on your lashes, leading to clumpy extensions that lose their natural fluffiness. Yikes! Staying on top of your lash hygiene can prevent those pesky issues, ensuring your lashes stay as fresh as the day you got them. Plus, a clean lash line can help eliminate any irritation and keep your eyes feeling comfortable.

Now, you may wonder what kind of cleaning routine you should adopt. Thankfully, it’s pretty straightforward. At Lash Spa Collective, we recommend using a gentle lash cleanser specifically designed for lash extensions. Regular soap may be too harsh and can lead to premature shedding, meaning your beautiful lashes won’t last as long. With our retention-friendly products that withstand Texas humidity, you can be sure your lashes will maintain their gorgeous look for the 2–3 weeks between fills that most of our clients enjoy.

Here’s a fun little routine you can try: start with dampening a clean spoolie brush with your lash cleanser, then gently brush your lashes from base to tip. Make sure to angle the brush to reach all the little nooks and crannies, allowing the cleanser to do its magic! Rinse with water, and voilà, your lashes are fresh and ready to flutter! A quick tip? Try to incorporate this into your self-care routine once or twice a week, or whenever you feel your lashes need that extra sprinkle of TLC.

One awesome benefit of keeping your lashes clean is that it helps them last longer. That’s right! When you remove buildup, you’re giving your lashes a fighting chance against breakage and loss, keeping them looking fuller for those stunning selfies. Plus, regular cleaning means fewer dreaded visits to the lash technician, freeing up time for more important things like binge-watching your favorite series or hanging out with friends.

While cleaning your lashes might seem like just another chore, think of it as an investment in your beauty routine—after all, who doesn’t love the feeling of fluttering fabulous lashes? Remember, lash maintenance doesn’t stop once you walk out of the salon; it’s a continuous journey!

We’ve designed an ambiance that feels as good as the lashes you’ll get, specializing in classic, hybrid, and volume lash extensions.
