How To Remove Hybrid Lashes

Removing hybrid lashes at home requires a gentle, careful approach to protect your natural lashes. With the Hybrid Lashes collection from YSPGlowLab, proper removal steps can help keep your lashes healthy and ready for the next application. For an overview of hybrid lashes, read more on what are hybrid lashes.

1.  Gather supplies  

Start by collecting everything you’ll need for a safe and effective lash removal: an oil-based makeup remover or lash remover, cotton pads, and a clean spoolie or soft brush. These tools will help break down the adhesive gently.

2. Prepare eye area

Begin by washing your hands and cleansing the eye area. This removes any makeup, oils, or dirt, ensuring the remover works directly on the lash adhesive for a smoother removal process.

3. Apply remover

Apply a small amount of remover onto a cotton pad, gently pressing it over your closed eyelids for about 30 seconds. The remover helps dissolve the lash adhesive, making the lashes easier to detach. Wondering how long do hybrid lashes last? Proper care can extend their wear.

4. Gently remove lashes

With a soft touch, use a clean spoolie or tweezers to gently lift the lash clusters off, starting from the outer corners and working inward. Avoid pulling to protect your natural lashes.

5. Cleanse the eye area

After removal, cleanse the area again to remove any leftover adhesive or residue. An oil-based cleanser can be helpful for breaking down and washing away any remaining product.

6. Treat lashes

Finish by applying a lash serum or nourishing oil, such as castor oil, to condition and strengthen your natural lashes. This helps restore any lost moisture and promotes lash health.

Signs that hybrid lashes are ready to be removed

Knowing when to remove hybrid lashes can help keep your natural lashes healthy and comfortable. Removing them promptly when these signs appear can protect your lash health and ensure comfortable wear. 

• Lashes Start Lifting at the Edges: Lashes may become prone to snagging or discomfort when the edges begin to lift. Learn about how much do hybrid lashes cost to ensure you are buying the right quality set.
• Lashes Feel Uncomfortable or Heavy: This can happen as the adhesive weakens over time.
• Bonder Becomes Visible or Weakens: A sign that the adhesive is losing its hold.
• Natural Lashes Feel Irritated or Itchy: Indicates time for removal to avoid irritation. 
• Lashes Lose Shape or Alignment: A loss in lash shape reduces aesthetic appeal. Curious about how many lashes in a hybrid set? This varies based on style preferences so it's important when choosing the shape of your lashes.
• Duration of Recommended Wear Time is Reached: Typically, after 3-4 weeks, lashes should be removed or refilled for safety and hygiene. 

Can I reuse cluster lashes after removing them?

You can reuse cluster lashes up to four times if they are properly cared for. After removing them, gently clean off any remaining adhesive and store them in a clean, dry place. These lashes typically last 4-7 days per application, giving you both durability and flexibility depending on your lashes size. Choosing the right size?

Can I remove cluster lashes with just soap and water?

Using soap and water is not recommended, as it may not effectively dissolve the lash adhesive and could lead to irritation. 

A dedicated lash remover, like the DIY Lash Remover, is designed to gently and thoroughly break down lash adhesive without harming your natural lashes. This product ensures an efficient removal process, leaving lashes clean and ready for reuse while protecting the health of your natural lashes.
