Why should clients avoid moisture for the first 24 hours after application?

Clients should avoid moisture for the first 24 hours after eyelash extension application because moisture can weaken the adhesive bond. When extensions are applied, a specialized adhesive is used that requires time to cure and reach optimal strength. During the initial curing period, exposure to moisture can interfere with this process, preventing the adhesive from properly bonding to both the natural lashes and the extensions.

This is critical because a strong bond ensures that the extensions will last longer and maintain their desired look. If moisture is introduced too soon, the adhesive may not set correctly, leading to premature lash loss or poor retention. Therefore, following this guideline helps ensure the best results and longevity for the eyelash extensions.
