Keep your DIY cluster lashes looking flawless with these easy tips! Cleaning and reusing your lashes is the secret to getting the most out of them.
Here's how you can make your lashes last longer, look fresher, and save yourself some cash in the process.
1. Gentle removal
Always start by removing your cluster lashes gently—no tugging or pulling! The key to extending their life is a smooth removal process.
Use a lash remover that’s specifically made for this job to dissolve the adhesive without harming your natural lashes.

2. Clean ‘em up with a lash cleanser
Once your lashes are off, they’ll need a quick cleanse. Using a lash cleanser specifically designed for lash extensions or cluster lashes is crucial.
Regular cleansers or soaps can be too harsh, breaking down the delicate fibers of your lashes.
A proper lash cleanser will lift off any leftover glue, dirt, or makeup, leaving your clusters fresh and ready to go.
3. Soaking method for extra clean
If your lashes have a bit more build-up, give them a quick soak. A small bowl of lukewarm water with a few drops of lash cleanser is all you need.
Soak your lashes for 2-3 minutes to loosen any stubborn adhesive or grime. This step helps clean thoroughly without damaging the lash fibers.
Just be careful not to soak them for too long—this could affect their shape and quality.
4. Use of tweezers
A good pair of DIY tweezers is your best friend for those tiny bits of glue stuck on the lash band. Even after soaking, some glue might cling to the lash band.
This is where tweezers come in handy. Use them to gently peel away any remaining adhesive without pulling or tearing the lashes.
Make sure you’re delicate here; the goal is to keep the lash band intact and smooth for reuse.
5. Air drying
Now that your lashes are squeaky clean, let them air dry.
Lay them flat on a clean towel or tissue and let nature do its work.
Heat tools like blow dryers can cause the lash fibers to become brittle, so it’s best to avoid them.
Also, don’t forget to reshape them if they’ve lost a little of their curl while cleaning!
6. Regular maintenance
If you want your cluster lashes to last longer, regular maintenance is a must. Clean them after each wear to prevent makeup and oil build-up.
Regular cleaning keeps the lash adhesive from hardening on the lash band and helps the lashes maintain their shape and curl.

How to store cluster lashes to keep them clean?
How long do cluster lashes last? Once your lashes are clean and dry, proper storage is essential to be able to keep using them.
Always place them back in their original packaging or a clean, dust-free lash container.
This not only protects them from dirt and debris but also helps them maintain their shape. If you store them carelessly, the lash fibers can get bent, and the shape can be ruined.
How to clean lash clusters while wearing them?
If you need a quick clean while wearing your cluster lashes, it’s easy to do! Grab a cotton swab, dip it in a lash cleanser, and gently clean along your lash line.
This will help get rid of any makeup or dirt without damaging the lash adhesive or dislodging the clusters. Just be sure not to soak the lashes, as this could cause the glue to break down.
Why is it important to clean cluster lashes?
Cleaning your cluster lashes isn’t just about looks—it’s about hygiene, too! Makeup, dirt, and oil build-up can cause bacteria to form, which isn’t good for your eyes or natural lashes.
Regular cleaning helps keep your lashes looking their best, protects your natural lashes, and ensures you can reuse your cluster lashes for as long as possible.
