What should clients avoid doing immediately after getting eyelash extensions?

Clients should avoid getting their lashes wet immediately after receiving eyelash extensions because moisture can weaken the bond created by the adhesive used to attach the extensions to natural lashes. Typically, technicians recommend clients refrain from water exposure for at least 24 to 48 hours after application. During this crucial period, any moisture—whether from showering, swimming, or sweating—can result in premature lash loss or cause the extensions to shift from their intended position.

While there are other precautions clients should consider post-application, such as avoiding heavy makeup or rubbing their eyes, the specific instruction about avoiding water is particularly important due to its direct impact on the longevity and adherence of the eyelash extensions. Understanding this helps clients maintain their lashes and enjoy the full benefits of the service.
