What are DIY lash extensions?

DIY lash extensions are specially designed lashes that are applied beneath your natural lashes, offering a more seamless and natural appearance compared to traditional strip lashes.

What are the benefits of DIY lashes?

DIY lashes provide the look of professional lash extensions you’d typically get at a salon, but with several key advantages:

• Allergy-friendly: They are designed to minimize irritation or allergic reactions.
• Cost-effective: A much more affordable option compared to salon services.
• Convenience: You can apply them yourself at home, saving both time and money.

Do DIY lashes damage natural lashes?

No, DIY lashes do not damage your natural lashes when applied and removed correctly.

How to apply DIY lashes?

1. Prepare your tools

Gather essential tools like DIY lashes, a high-quality adhesive, bonder, tweezers or a lash applicator, and a spoolie for blending. The right tools are crucial for the best results.

2. Clean and prep your natural lashes

Remove any makeup, oil, or dirt from your natural lashes to ensure the adhesive bonds effectively and the lashes stay in place.

3. Select your DIY lashes

There are various types of DIY lashes to choose from, depending on your needs and occasion:

• Cluster lashes: Ideal for adding volume and length in specific areas, perfect for special events.
• Half lashes: Great for enhancing the outer corners for a cat-eye effect.
• Lash ribbons: Flexible strips you can customize to fit your lash line.
• DIY Lash extensions: Beginner-friendly options designed for everyday use.
• Pre-Mapped Lashes: Convenient for quick application with pre-arranged styles.
• Glue-less Lashes: Ideal for those who prefer a no-adhesive approach.

4. Apply a small amount of bonder

Use a bonder on your natural lashes to create a tacky surface, enhancing the adhesive's grip.

5. Blend with your natural lashes

After applying the DIY lashes, use a spoolie or lash brush to blend them seamlessly with your natural lashes.

6. Let the adhesive fully dry

Allow the adhesive to dry completely before applying additional makeup or touching your lashes to ensure they stay securely in place.

7. Final touches

Check your lashes from multiple angles to ensure proper placement and make any necessary adjustments for a balanced look.

How long do DIY lashes last?

DIY lashes are typically designed for short-term wear, lasting from daily use to about 7 days, depending on the adhesive and care.

How to remove DIY lashes?

1. Apply remover

Use a cotton swab dipped in a lash remover, gently swiping along the base of the lashes.

2. Let it sit

Allow the remover to work for 3–5 minutes to loosen the adhesive bond.

3. Gently slide Off

Use your fingers or tweezers to gently remove the lashes. Avoid pulling if they resist; instead, reapply remover.

4. Repeat

Continue removing the extensions one by one until all are gone.

5. Cleanse lashes

Use a gentle lash cleanser or oil-free makeup remover to clean any remaining glue or residue from your natural lashes.
