Updated: Sep 24
Our lash and brow aftercare in Newark guide covers everything you need to know after lash extensions, lash lift & tint, brow lamination and brow wax & tint.
Why is Aftercare Important?
Keep your lashes and brows looking their best with the correct aftercare. At The Little Hair & Beauty Studio in Newark-on-Trent, we offer lash lifts & tints, lash extensions and brow wax & tint treatments. Follow our aftercare advice below to help protect your results and keep your lashes and brows looking beautiful.
How Do You Care For Your Lashes After a Lash Lift Treatment?
The first 24hrs after your treatment are critical and you MUST follow the steps below to ensure your lift does not drop and to ensure longevity of the treatment. At this early stage, your lashes are still delicate, and the lift is working its magic which means you need to be as careful as possible.
Do not get your lashes wet within the first 24hrs. This includes excessive moisture & steam from showers, baths, saunas and especially no swimming!
Avoid rubbing or excessive touching of the lashes to ensure they stay in the correct direction
Do not apply makeup (this includes mascara) to the lash area or receive any other eye treatment within the first 24hrs.
Avoid sleeping on your front within the first 24-48hrs
After the first 24hrs, you can resume your normal daily life with your fabulous lashes! However, we recommend you brush your lashes into place using the spoolie provided. We also recommend using a lash conditioner between appointments that will aid in nourishing, strengthening & protecting your lashes.
A lash lift lasts about 6-8 weeks & tints last about 2-3 weeks. We recommend you have your lashes tinted after a few weeks, this will give you a refreshed look that will make your lashes pop again.
If any redness or irritation occurs, wash the area with cool water and use damp cotton wool as a compress to help soothe it. If symptoms persist seek medical attention.
How Do You Care For Your Lash Extensions
To keep your lash extensions clean, healthy and looking their best:
Clean your lashes every day using a lash-extension-safe cleanser. Keeping them clean helps remove makeup, oils and everyday build-up.
Lash Extension Cleanser
We recommend cleaning your lash extensions daily with a professional lash extension wash. We stock lash extension wash in the salon, so please ask a member of our team if you need one. Regular cleansing helps keep the lash line clean and your extensions looking fresh between appointments.
Gently pat them dry after cleansing — do not rub or pull at the lashes.
Brush through your lashes gently with a clean spoolie once they are dry.
Avoid oil-based products directly around the lash line, as some products may affect retention.
Avoid mascara on your extensions unless your lash technician has advised that the product is suitable.
Do not use eyelash curlers on lash extensions.
Do not pick, pull or try to remove extensions yourself, as this can damage your natural lashes.
Book regular infill appointments to replace extensions that have naturally shed with your own lash cycle.
If you want your extensions removed, book professional removal rather than removing them at home.
How Do You Care For Your Brows After a Brow Lamination Treatment?
It’s easy to care for your new brows following a lamination treatment. For the first 48hrs, you should treat your brows with care.
Do not get your brows wet within the first 24hrs. This includes excessive moisture and steam from showers, baths, saunas and especially no swimming!
Avoid rubbing or excessive touching of the brows to ensure they stay in the correct direction
Do not apply makeup to the brow area or receive any other eye treatment within the first 24hrs.
Avoid sleeping on your front within the first 24-48hrs.
After this time, you can treat them as normal. Remember, brow lamination is a low maintenance not a no maintenance treatment which means you will need to simply brush your brows into shape & place every morning with the spoolie provided. We recommend using a Brow Gel or Conditioning Serum between appointments to keep brows in the best possible condition.
Following your Brow Lamination treatment, you will notice the effects of the tint will start to fade within 2-3weeks. We recommend that you have your brows tinted in-between.
We recommend that the brow Lamination treatment is repeated every 6-8 weeks, depending on your desired look.
If any redness or irritation occurs, wash the area with cool water and use damp cotton wool as a compress to help soothe it. If symptoms persist seek medical attention.
How Do You Care for Your Brows After a Brow Wax & Tint?
For the first 24 hours after your brow wax and tint, treat the area gently to help protect the skin and maintain your fresh colour.
• Avoid excessive heat, steam, saunas and swimming.
• Avoid rubbing or exfoliating the brow area.
• Avoid applying strong skincare products, retinol or acids directly around the freshly waxed area.
• Try to avoid heavy makeup directly over the brows immediately after treatment.
• Keep the brows moisturised and avoid excessive cleansing, which can cause the tint to fade more quickly.
