Lash ribbons are a revolutionary approach to DIY eyelash extensions, they offer a customizable and cost-effective alternative to traditional salon applications. These continuous strips of lashes can be trimmed to desired lengths that allow you to create personalized lash segments that cater to your unique eye shape and style preference. They´re made from high-quality materials, and provide a natural look and feel, ensuring comfort throughout extended wear.
One of the key advantages of lash ribbons is their ease of application. With the appropriate adhesive you can achieve a secure hold that lasts for days that eliminates the need to apply it daily. This durability makes lash ribbons a convenient option for long-lasting results without the commitment or expense of professional extensions.
What are lash strips?
Lash strips, also known as strip lashes, are pre-made bands of false lashes that come in a single piece designed to cover the entire lash line. They are typically pre-cut and ready for immediate use, making them a popular choice for quick and easy lash enhancement.
Lash strips are available in various lengths, volumes, and styles, from natural to dramatic looks, offering a fast way to achieve fuller, more glamorous lashes without a professional application. Unlike lash ribbons, which are customizable and trimmed to size, lash strips require minimal preparation.
How long do lash ribbons last?
With proper care and maintenance, lash ribbons can last up to a month if you clean and store them properly after each use. When worn continuously, they typically last about a week before needing a refresh or removal.
A key benefit of lash ribbons is their reusability, they can be reused up to 5-6 times, making them a cost-effective, long-lasting option. Regular cleaning and proper storage help maintain their shape and quality.
How do you use lash ribbons?
- Prep Your Natural Lashes: Clean and dry your lashes, removing any makeup or oil.
- Apply Glue: Add a thin layer of lash adhesive to the base of the lash ribbon. Let it get tacky (about 30 seconds).
- Place the Ribbon: Using tweezers or fingers, position the lash ribbon along your natural lash line, starting in the center. Press gently to ensure it sticks evenly.
How do you clean lash ribbons?
- Prepare a Cleaning Solution: Mix lash cleanser or baby shampoo with water.

- Soak: Submerge lash ribbons in the cleaning solution or isopropyl alcohol.
- Clean Gently: Use a spoolie or soft brush to remove residue.

Can you put mascara on with lash ribbons?
It’s best to avoid applying mascara directly to lash ribbons. Mascara, especially waterproof formulas, can cause them to become clumpy, stiff, and harder to clean. Additionally, mascara can weaken the lash adhesive, reducing their lifespan. For the best results, apply mascara only to your natural lashes before attaching the lash ribbons to keep them soft, reusable, and in great condition.
