As professional lash artists, our job descriptions go beyond just attaching eyelash extensions. Along with crafting breathtaking lash fills, it is our job to educate and teach our clients how to take care of their brand new sets and how to clean eyelash extensions. In this article, let’s break down how we can teach our clients about their eyelash extension aftercare, the best way to clean eyelash extensions and what to use to clean eyelash extensions.
Why Clean Eyelash Extensions?
A question many lash beginners may ask is, why is it important to clean dirty eyelash extensions and what’s the need for washing eyelash extensions?
Just like our faces, our natural eyelashes and lash extensions can hold on to oil, debris, build-up and dirt. Over time, this excess build-up can accumulate and cause eye irritation, eye infections or even premature lash fall-out.
Regularly cleansing and washing eyelash extensions on a daily basis are the best ways to avoid unnecessary eye irritation and to keep eyelash extensions lasting longer without premature shedding.
Lash Cleansing Tools
Once your clients know about the importance of cleaning dirty eyelash extensions, you can then discuss lash cleansing tools and what to use to clean eyelash extensions.
HIgh-quality lash shampoos and clean mascara wands are the basic tools needed for washing eyelash extensions. Lash shampoos ensure natural oils, makeup residues and debris are properly removed, while mascara wands help clean individual lashes.

The Best Way To Clean Eyelash Extensions
Lastly, here are the extension aftercare steps and the best way to clean eyelash extensions.
Step 1: Apply Lash Shampoo
Start by applying a few pumps of the foaming lash shampoo to your fingertips and gently dabbing the shampoo onto the upper lash line. During this step, it’s important not to push down or press down too heavily on the lashes.
Step 2: Mascara Wand
Once the shampoo is on the lash line, begin to brush the eyelash extensions. With gentle motions, brush up and down and make sure every lash is covered with the foaming shampoo. Repeat and perform this step for 1 – 2 minutes for optimal results.
Step 3: Wash & Clean
Finally, let’s remove any lash shampoo residue using clean cotton pads or damp washcloths. Dip the clean cotton pads into micellar water and softly pad away the upper lash line. Perform this step until the lashes look crisp and spotless!
Conclusion
Teaching your clients about proper eyelash aftercare can help your customers take care of their lashes, clean dirty eyelash extensions, avoid premature shedding and build better trust with their professional lash artists!
